"Faith in the Fog" It was great to be back outside for worship at 8:00 am yesterday.I was a little nervous making the early morning ride to church from Kirkwood, because it was so foggy and hard to see very far in front of me when I was driving.And even though it didn't rain this week, and we were able to remain outside at 8:00, it was still foggy throughout most of t...

"Yours, Mine, God's" There's a famous story that St. Augustine tells in his Confessions about a time he and his friends snuck into an orchard one evening and stole a bunch of pears.Later on as he reflected on it, Augustine admitted that he stole those pears simply for the thrill of it.His family wasn't rich.In fact, he had everything he needed.He even said he had bette...

"Love for a Lifetime" A minister decided to try something a little different one Sunday morning at church.He said to the congregation, "Today I'm going to say a single word and you're going help me preach.Whatever word I say, I want you to sing the first hymn that comes to mind."And with that, the pastor shouted out the word, "Cross."Immediately folks started singing, "...

"X-Raying Your Faith" As I shared over the weekend, I suffered a fall last week while exercising, and wound up cracking 2 ribs.Unfortunately, there is not much the doctors can do, as ribs can't be splinted or put into a cast.It is going to take the normal healing time for broken bones, which is around 6-8 weeks.

"Summer Faith" The alarm goes off.You leap out of bed and grab a quick shower.You shovel in a bowl of cornflakes and hurry out to the car, giving your spouse a peck on the cheek and reminding them not to forget that tonight is "Pizza Night."On your way to the office, you drop by Starbucks for your morning caffeine fix.You swerve from one lane to another all the way to...
