Where Does the Hope of Easter Come From?

Easter is a global holiday. Even if you’re not Christian you know something of the history of Easter. It provides people around the world with hope. But if we went back in time 2,000 years you would meet a little band of Jesus’ followers who didn’t have a lot of hope. If they considered their […]

Follow Your Star to a Greater Love

Christian or not, we are all familiar with the Biblical story of the birth of Jesus. One of the most well-known Christmas stories is the journey of the three Kings. These three Wise Men came to offer gifts to the baby Jesus. The Magi, as they were known, were astrologers who combed the night skies […]

Grow Closer to God this Holiday Season

I love the song “O, Holy Night.” Its lyrics are so reflective. The line “Until He appeared, and the soul felt it’s worth” jump out at me.  It’s easy with all the chaos that the trimmings of Christmas bring, to forget what the Holiday means. The birth of Christ is a big deal because his […]

The Secret Sauce for a Happy Thanksgiving

As the holidays draw near there is much excitement, but also a little dread. Who knows what family members will say and do! We are all familiar with Rockwell’s iconic painting of Thanksgiving.

How to Live at High Noon

No-one can deny we are living in strange times! It’s natural to ask, “What’s going on?” “Is this real?” Having been born during a time of unprecedented peace, it’s disturbing to look at what can only be considered a swift ride into darkness. It’s kind of scary. They say it’s darkest before the dawn, so […]

Keeping the Vision for Peace and Love Alive

If you have a long-term vision, then small things on the way don’t really matter. If you don’t have a long-term vision, it’s very easy to be brought down. “Oh, man, today was the worst day of my life!” And so forth, you know? It’s easy to lose the desire, it’s easy to lose motivation […]

What Will You Share With Your Descendents?

Ecclesiastes 3 :1-13 To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: 2     a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted; 3     a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time […]
