Church is taking on a new look. No longer enduring outgrown concepts we read Scriptures with healthy skepticism. For example, although we read in the Gospel John that Jesus “went out, bearing His own cross, to the spot called The Place of the Skull,” the mass populace doesn’t haul wooden crosses to what is referred…

Our daughter told me something worth repeating. Because being married isn’t easy, she realized that every single day, she wakes us and decides to be married. “I knew I wanted to get married four years ago. I got married.

Although it appears to be a stubborn problem, most people admit an attitude change, a lifestyle change, and hard work, can reverse the epidemic.

With her delicate, impressive, poetic features, Mary Baker Eddy seemed the embodiment of the modern evangelist as Renaissance woman. This 19th century figure was turned to for answers regarding God and healing by people who became her followers. At the prime of her career, Eddy had sacrificed her own work for the good of her…

Now that spring has finally come to upstate New York, I can be found outside in the green grass. When it isn’t pouring rain.
