Choose Faith and Ask for Help!
“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6 (NLT) When faced with the reality of a situation that is overwhelming, the best thing you can do is focus on God. The disciples, in Matthew 8, knew that Jesus could do something about the storm that threatened their lives as they were tossed on the sea. Their answer to the overwhelming storm was to ask Jesus…
Restful Presence
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28-30) In our Zoom youth gathering the past couple of weeks we’ve been looking at the twenty-third Psalm. This has caused me to reflect on the biblical notion of rest. In this…

Relaxing in the Truth
As the weeks go by in this time of separation from others I have found that there are good days and some not so good days. When those not so good days come I discover that even keeping busy doesn’t keep the low feelings at bay. Those moments are when I begin to search for scripture that will turn my day around. Then I decided that if I was going to search for scripture that was uplifting to me then…

Our Faithfulness to Care
There is a theme running through commercials, news casts, newspaper ads and social media posts. “We’re in this together.” “If you need help, call someone!”, “Help others. Be kind whenever you see the opportunity.” A few years ago, I made a decision that if someone was racing to get ahead of me in line at Starbucks or Wendy’s I would just let them go ahead and smile. When there is road construction and people forget which lane to use, I…

Acts of Kindness
A few years ago, I observed a small but striking act of kindness. I was walking from our house to a drugstore that was a few blocks away. As I came up to a busy intersection I saw a man who was clearly drunk, staggering his way across the street while the traffic was moving. Almost as fast as I saw him, I saw a car stop. The car was a high-end, luxury car. The man who got out was…

An Opportunity to Look Back
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.” -Deuteronomy 7:9 During this time at home, one project I’ve been working on in the spare moments is to digitize a collection of home video tapes from my parents. These videos chronicle events during my last year of high school, and my years in college primarily. It has…
