Death

Easter! Things Will Never Be The Same!

We used to listen to a radio show called “You are there!” These were short dramas that tried to give a picture of Jesus’ life in the form of a story presented as though it was actually happening as you listened. On this Easter I wonder what my reaction would have been if “I was […]Read Post ›

Good Friday and Sin

My sin takes me farther than I intend to go. My sin keeps me longer than I intend to stay. My sin costs me more than I intend to have to pay.  My sin took Jesus to the cross. My sin held Jesus there until he said “It is finished!” My sin cost Jesus his […]Read Post ›

What The Devil Hopes I Never Understand About Sin

Lately I am involved in a study about sin. As we are in Holy Week there is really not a better time. I wish I could say this has been learning from the Bible, but I need to admit that too often it has been from the inside of sin looking out. That is just […]Read Post ›

Indeed! His Victory–My Salvation!

Easter! Three days after “It is finished” came “He is Risen!” Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins was accomplished on Good Friday and on Easter came his triumphant return to  life.  His victory over death was completed and because of what he did, so is mine. Oh, how I have celebrated that gift. In my life […]Read Post ›

I Wonder What People Do Without God?

I come to another Good Friday. This one feels different. As I sit in my kitchen with my work computer and my personal laptop covering our table I wonder what is it going to take to end this situation in which we find our world. I read about flattening the curve, social distancing, safe at […]Read Post ›

Hosanna! Crucify Him!

 Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday. As I look towards those events I will be reminded of in the next seven days, two pictures of Jesus come to mind. First was the unfairness he needed to bear. Our world demands fairness. I cannot listen to any news reports or read comments on any social media […]Read Post ›

Death. Is It Really Just A Part of Life?

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. A while ago I came across the poem by Dylan Thomas Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. As it has been not so long since my father’s […]Read Post ›

When There is A Hole in Your Holiday

This is not the original post I started a while ago. If it was, the beginning would have read: About 5 weeks ago, I had a scare. My 93-year-old father fell and broke a hip. The break itself was repaired without too much trouble. And while there have been some tough times, he seems to be […]Read Post ›

What Will They Write on My Headstone?

This topic is one that has rested in my draft category for a long time. I am still not sure  what I want written on my headstone, but I want to talk this through.  I decided the best place to start was to explore what others had engraved at their burial place. I found this one […]Read Post ›

Was I There When They Crucified Jesus?

(All quotes are from the Evangelical Heritage Version of the Bible) Good Friday. What a terrible scene. I can look at those people who were there and wonder why they didn’t do more to help Jesus. I can only shake my head at those who shouted insults at my Savior and wonder why they treated […]Read Post ›
