I’ve recently and continue to spend a great deal of time reading books of the old, specifically those written by the oppressed. Those who were bombarded with adversity of all kinds…from the color of their skin, shape of their lips, texture of their hair, and speech. Those who were called names and treated as though … Continue reading Good Deeds
Luke 14:15-24 I term the meaning of this four-part series on Luke 14 with the word great, based on the number of people invited to break bread with Jesus. The saying, the-more-the-merrier, stands out here, because it’s my humble thought that the more people present to the teachings of Jesus, the better the world becomes. … Continue reading Warm & Welcoming:The Great Supper P4
At an astonishing early age, I knew I would serve God. And, with all the detours, twist, and turns, I am in awe of what this service to Him continues to reveal. The love I have for Him, my family and friends are enormous! So much of it, for my friends, bottled up inside me … Continue reading Warm & Welcoming: The Great Supper P3

If you really look in the mirror made from every material God has created, and acknowledge that He also made you to appreciate His creation! You! If you really look, come on, look harder, will you?

Isaiah 6 Ever had a moment when you get in your car, drive to a familiar destination, you know the area well, but still you don’t know where you are? This was one of my moments one day over the past weekend. … Continue reading Conversion or Commission P3
Listen to me read this reflection: Second heading: Clarity in salvation Isaiah 6 Living with a broken toe is quite a challenge. The break was discovered last week because I finally went to the podiatrist. It’ll take 3-4 weeks to heal completely, and I am so happy I don’t have too much outdoor care to … Continue reading Conversion or Commission P2
As the month of August ends, I am almost always impressed by its beauty. The leaves on the squash plants become a most striking sage and some almost seem like grey. Colors of orange, yellow, purple, white, green, and red, hang off branches and stems. I contend that the stores advertising Christmas in July and … Continue reading Matters Under Heaven
Just to left of me, the sun began to rise on what was predicted to be a warm day in Colorado. I began my early morning chores of cutting the herbs I’ll be drying this year, pulling seeds from the plants that so willingly give them, watering, then weeding specific areas of the back yard. At … Continue reading Harvesting Living Fields of Faith
The initial setting is our ministry’s gentle office space where we met each month. The very space almost stripped from under our feet based on the recent decision of our primary partner. A decision they had no choice to have made, because of the massive life-changing event every person in the world has had to … Continue reading Each Other & God
