(Psalms 5:5 NIV) The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.

Every year somebody, who does not really have a life, comes up with words that should not be used during the New Year. I am not sure where this started but it just goes to show that there are a whole lot of people who do not have much to Continue reading
I had many all-nighters preparing for final exams throughout my college years. I would have my notes memorized and acronyms in place to ensure that no stone was left unturned when it came test time. I would be reading my notes all the way to class and continue reading them Continue reading
(1 John 4:8 NIV) Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
We are created in the image of God but we are not God. Humanity is a race of beings that has been created in his likeness. The statue of Lincoln in the Lincoln memorial Continue reading
While trying to arrive at a relevant and interesting topic for this month, I decided that it might be nice and different to toss together a number of various (and maybe disjointed) thoughts that are on my mind:
As I contemplate the beginning of a new year and the possibility of it slipping away into a mere twelve months of inconsequential existence, the vital importance of re-evaluating the value of my spiritual life has weighed firmly upon my mind.

Forgive me if I have said this before, but, “Happy New Year.” It may be the epitome of redundancy but I have given this greeting for 60 years and I mean it as sincerely this year as I have all the years preceding.
