A Diamond in the Rough

Valentine’s Day is approaching soon, and jewelers are promoting precious diamonds once again. Seeing these advertisements recently made me wonder: what makes this gem so special?

The Spirit of Fear

Granted, there are many reasons to feel afraid today:

  • A divided country
  • Escalating violence
  • Severe weather alerts
  • Power outages
  • Fatal accidents
  • Medical emergencies
  • Being alone
  • Unsaved loved ones
Have a Good Day

“Sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset; swiftly fly the years…”

Those familiar lyrics from Fiddler on the Roof have more truth with every passing season.

Good Grief

Once again, a beloved member listed on our church roster has joined God’s Holy Roster in Heaven. As this man is dazzled by the beauty of Paradise and embraced by the arms of Jesus, I can’t help but consider the grief his family members and close friends are now experiencing. 

Shades of Gray

Ah… nostalgia! I can still hear Jiminy Cricket’s familiar voice singing “When You Wish Upon a Star” as Disney’s magic came to life on our old black-and-white TV. 

Resolutions that Last

As the calendar is replaced and a new year begins, many of us feel the need for a list of resolutions. Among the most common are weight loss, financial improvement, and better organization.
