  • “With This Ring…”

    I lost my wedding ring.  That’s a pretty big deal!  I removed it to do some work and it’s missing.  Fortunately, I have my original wedding ring to wear.  The one I lost was a gift by my wife a few years ago.  Now a ring is replaceable and hopefully it shows up, but what it represents is my 19…

  • Dads, Daughters, and Dating

    I remember the day when a few years ago my 8-year-old daughter told my wife a boy asked her out at school. The good thing is my daughter told him she would have to ask her parents first – YES! When my wife told me about this I was taken back. My little girl was…

  • Till Death Do Us Part

    What do you remember most vividly about your wedding day? What stands out? I’m sure the venue, guests, decorations and even the food was spectacular. However, what most people would say stands out the most is the person they came there for that day – their spouse. I’ll never forget my beautiful bride walking down…

  • A New Year Solution

    Do you have any New Year’s resolutions? Some of you may still have unfulfilled goals from 2018 and maybe even 2017. While we sometimes do not reach every goal we set, I still think goal-setting is great. After all, if you never set a goal, you have nothing to accomplish or challenge you. While you…

  • Peace From the Prince

    Anyone need some peace tonight? Peace is something Jesus brings us, as He is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9:6). His peace has no end (Isaiah 9:7). I’m staring at the word peace on our Christmas tree and thinking about the peace I need from the Lord in a few things (I can think of…

  • What’s the best Christmas present you ever received? My favorites were the two G.I. Joe tanks and Star Wars Millennium Falcon I received in the same year! What’s the worst Christmas present you ever received? My worst was a combination of a $100 savings bond and a boy Cabbage Patch doll…really? For one, boys don’t…

  • Husbands, Love Your Wives

    Next year, I will have been a husband for nineteen years! How time has flown by since we were first married. The vows we said to each other still hold true today. While I do not remember the exact words from our wedding day (unless I get out the VHS tape), the premise remains –…

  • It’s the Little Things

    Have you ever found yourself so busy or consumed by stuff you didn’t find much joy in the whole day? In this topsy turvy world we can rush right past the blessings and joy right in front of us overtaken by endless checklists and constant distractions. Sometimes I get so task oriented or caught up…

  • The Rot of Unforgiveness

    Backbiting, complaining, murmuring, anger, bitterness, rage, offense…all things that have no place in anyone’s life, especially a disciple of Jesus. Have you ever been given the cold shoulder by someone? We all have at some point. That happened to me recently with another believer. I spoke, waved, and nothing. Just a glare. I even tried…
