A Simple Life, a Childlike Faith

Imagine the confusion of the young mother.  Nine months before, her life had been interrupted by an angel.  He said she would conceive a child and that he would be the Son of God.  He was the Messiah–king of the earth.  When her fiance had not believed her, he had been visited by an angel.…

Early this morning, I updated and published a daily blog–on the computer. Later in the morning, I worked on The Special Gathering of Indian River upcoming board meeting–on the computer. In the afternoon, I renewed my corporate papers, paid some bills, looked up an address, sought some important information regarding disabilities, tried to get my…

December 5 means that both of the Special Gathering Christmas plays are over in Melbourne and Vero. This year unlike 2009, Mary’s face wasn’t bruised from having dental surgery.  The shocking effect was what appeared to be a bearded Mary.  Unlike 2004, Joseph wasn’t rushed to the play from the hospital emergency room after the doctors had stopped an…

I fully understand the complexity of writing something every day because I’ve had a daily blog for almost six years.  I know the joys and strains of this fascinating medium. In fact, this entry has been written and rewritten four…

I pulled the covers down from the pillows on my bed and casually looked at the time.  The digital clock on the table beside my bed read 65:11.  I wasn’t surprised that the time was wrong.  Those of us who live in Central Florida call our electric company “Florida Flicker and Flash.”  Its continual time-outs to…

When I don’t take time to rest, I find that I stare a lot.  Letting my mind float, I simply stare into space for long minutes.  Everyone needs time to rest, no matter how important you are to your family, your ministry or your job.  David Brad, a good friend, supervises over 100 people with his…

The story is told of a mine worker in Ireland during the great potato famine of 1847.  He brought his lunch each day to work; but he ate alone.  Stealing away from his coworkers, he would then open his lunch pail. The other workers burned with curiosity wondering why he was hiding his lunch.  They assumed that…
