You Get Back What You Give

Today is “Giving Tuesday” and everyone is fundraising! It’s a day that makes some people feel uncomfortable, and inspires others to be generous.

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.

Some people might ask, “Why would I want to go beyond my comfort zone?” Isn’t comfort the destination? Or at least it makes the journey better.

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.

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 […]

The Heart of Man and Heart of God

How do you see and feel God? Do you feel truly loved, and can you completely love others? This is the enduring plight of humankind, being stuck in a place where we struggle to experience the depth of love that we know is possible. If we are not trapped in the despair of our own […]

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 […]
