What to Do When we Don’t Know What to Do

I don’t know what to write. Thoughts jump one to another; none hold my attention. It’s just waiting on Him. Bear with me…. nothing yet…thanks for your patience. It will come…always does.

Another Excerpt from the book: Induction Day at Cooperstown A History of the Baseball Hall of Fame Ceremony

I was in New York when I heard Larry Winograd had passed away. Naturally I was saddened by the news, especially since Larry had given me the opportunity three years ago to write this column for the Pine Island Post. May he rest in peace and my condolences to his family. As you might remember

The tasks of building keep us occupied and challenged. We want a sense of accomplishment for what we build. But, as Children of God, should we build

Guaranteed Life Success Myth or Promise?

If I catch a huge fish at a particular spot, I am inclined to return there. If I catch nothing the second or third time the memory of the big one still persists. I try a few more times, speculating that if one was there, there have to be more. I don‘t persist at spots

His Resurrection and Me

What practical difference does believing in Christ’s resurrection make in our daily lives? In Roman 10:9-11St. Paul wrote: ‘If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and if you believe with your heart that God raised him from the dead, then you will be saved.

One Second | KoC12240.org

What can God do in one second?

For starters, He makes the light emanating from every object in the universe travel 186,272 miles. That’s quite an example of what can be done in a short amount of time? Ephesians 5:16: “Make the best of the present time, for it is a wicked age.” For loafers and sluggards, time is for idleness; work

Are You as Wise as a Serpent; as Innocent as a Dove?

“Look, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be cunning as snakes and yet innocent as doves”. (Matthew 10:16). What did Jesus mean when He gave His 12 disciples this instruction when going out into the world? A serpent is crafty, with keen eyesight and is quick to learn. A dove is

PEACE: Longed For But Elusive; Freely Given but Not Owned

Jesus said in John 14:27: “Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace which the world cannot give, this is my gift to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” What about the conflicts, fears and complaints that are so common in homes, workplaces and in society
