The Beatles and the Beatitudes
God wants to change you, and He promised you will be blessed if you allow Him to do so. If you are a believer, are people seeing Jesus in you? Are they looking through you and seeing Him?
Peace for a New Year
The world is anything but peaceful. However the unrest in our hearts is what troubles us most, if we are truly honest, and that is precisely what Jesus wants to address in each of us.
A Quiet Arrival
Have you heard the song “Winter Snow” by Audrey Assad? It’s an eloquent Christmas song released last year that begins with these lines:
A Broken Heart for Christmas
Have you heard the song by Jonny Diaz called “Break My Heart”? It’s been on my mind lately and it begins with the lines: I see children in slavery It's all too much so I turn off the TV A world away from the world they're in So I give up before I even begin
Thank who?
Isn’t it odd that the day after we are supposed to stop what we normally do to reflect on what is right and good in our lives and to give thanks for all that we enjoy, that we dash out in a crazy frenzy to get more stuff, usually with money we don’t have, for people we don’t spend much time with?
A Special Day, A Special Opportunity
Today is a special day: it’s 11/11/11. It will be quite some time before the next one rolls around; one hundred years actually. It’s feasible that someone living today could see the next 11/11/11, thanks perhaps to clean living and maybe some medical breakthroughs. For most of us, though, this is it. Enjoy the moment.
Say Yes To My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding Dress
The other day I learned that someone I know was recently divorced. Although my friend and I are not close, I was surprised because the marriage appeared to be strong. A sense of heaviness sort of came over me as I thought “there’s another one gone bad”. Another home broken, more children hearing parents try to reassure them with something like “your dad and I can’t be together anymore but this doesn’t change how I feel for you”.
Rockin' Your World
Events like Tuesday’s earthquake are one more way God is reaching out to you and me to gain our trust, to move us to seek Him, to realize we are not in control and that we need His help.
Clouds & Storms
Thunderstorms have been frequent recently, and while I love storms, as the manager of a radio station they make me nervous because storms often mean getting knocked off the air.
Are You Really Free
Free is good; we like free. Free food, free time, free refills, free admission; put free in front of most anything and you can draw a crowd. Look around; the United States is filled with people who came here to be free.
