What is Jesus Asking Us About Newtown?

As my neighboring community of Newtown buries its dead and sends its children back to school, as tough as it may be there is a lesson in the Sandy Hook massacre. I’ve pondered this and think that Jesus is Continue reading “What is Jesus Asking Us About Newtown?”

The 20 little children and 6 adults who were killed in Newtown (Sandy Hook) Connecticut are in a much safer, caring place. Jesus has welcomed them and they are now under his watchful eye. Unfortunately, the parents and Continue reading “As Jesus Welcomes the Children of Sandy Hook…”

Sandy Prayers

Short and sweet…

I pray for all those displaced by the storm Sandy. Please, Lord, shine your light down on all those who have been physically, emotionally, and/or financially impacted by this terrible storm. Help your children regroup and rebuild, physically and mentally.

We still don’t have power and heat, but that is a minor inconvenience. People who have trees on top of their houses, flooding, and businesses closed/lost, need your prayers. Please help by joining in prayer and asking others via email, twitter, blogs, whatever to join in prayer.

Thanks and blessings!!!

My Eulogy to My Mom

If you did not know my mom, the eulogy I delivered may not make a lot of sense; but some of it will. What you should know is that How Are Things in Glocca Morra? was my mom’s “theme song,” as so many know. My mom had a wonderful voice and she sang Glocca Morra with such passion. She has now arrived in her Glocca Morra—heaven.

Here is the letter to my mom that I read as her eulogy… Continue reading “My Eulogy to My Mom”

What Do You Think Heaven is Like?

First, I know that heaven exists. How? Aside from our promise from God for eternal life, I have had too many brushes with heaven in my life. I have heard nurses, including my wife, talk about patients who Continue reading “What Do You Think Heaven is Like?”

Must Read — Heaven Is Real: A Doctor’s Experience With the Afterlife

Here is a must read story from Newsweek—Heaven Is Real: A Doctor’s Experience With the Afterlife.  I highly recommend you read it, especially if you question “what’s next” after this brief life.

I’ll let the story speak for itself and will simply end with this thought…

Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

“He is a liar”

Jesus not only acknowledged the reality of the devil but he painted this picture of him…

“He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44

Here’s a new flash for you: Continue reading ““He is a liar””

How Do You Describe God in One Word?

Think. What’s the one word that fully describes God. All-powerful? Infinite? Everything?

Love. As John says, “God is Love.” (1 John 4:16) God is all-powerful, infinite, and everything in one being. But the essence of God is love. It’s that simple.

As John goes on to say in 4:16, “Those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.” And remember what Jesus said before his death for us, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” (John 15:12)

Love. Just a simple, but powerfully infinite thought for the day. Enjoy!
