Unforgiveness

The other week it was windy and cold outside. As the wind got stronger, I noticed off in the distance that the sky grew darker from the sand and debris the wind was kicking up. As the day went on, the dark sky grew closer. By early afternoon as I was driving, I could not see the mountains and there were tumbleweeds blowing across the street. The day became cold and dreary with the mountains feeling far away. There are times in our life we feel far off from God, like there is a storm between us and Him. It…

Worth remembering

I will not remember. In a year from now, I will not remember. Even though many looked forward to the day, prepared for parties, entertained guests, and wore garments only suitable for the event, I will not remember much about the recent Super Bowl between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams. In fact, I probably will not be able to recall who played in the game, what the commercials were trying to sell or who was on-stage at the halftime show.

Faced with temptation

We try and do good in our life but there are times when faced with…

Enough

When will we heal? If you are like me, I am fatigued to the point of exhaustion. Every day it seems we are accosted with another reason not to like one another. This group against that one. These types of people to avoid. This person to label, and on and on. And so, I ask again, “When will we heal?” Arguably, mankind has been at one another’s throats for eons. We seem predisposed against keeping the peace whether on a small or grand scale. In my lifetime alone, there have uprisings and times of discontent, but it is different now….
