Eternal Life

New Hope Every Morning

I was waiting for Driver to finish his now almost nightly 1:30 am trip to the backyard and thinking, “This has to be part of a dog’s aging process,” when it hit me–this was not only his schedule. More times than I care to admit, I also wake up around 1:30 am to address a […]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 ›

So What Does ILMYW7K Mean Anyway?

I like to think I drive attentively and am aware of whatever is going on around tme. And yet, when I came to a stoplight and the license plate ahead of me read “ILMYW7K”, I was a bit distracted. As the truck pulled away from me I even stayed behind it trying to decipher exactly what those letters meant. I wonder what the message would be […]Read Post ›

 The Shortest War–The Longest Battle

My wife and I share the same interest in the history of the various wars fought throughout history. War is never a good thing. What is interesting are the strategies, the heroes, and the untold stories that we hear through some of the shows we watch. And how God used those wars in some way to further his […]Read Post ›

A True Hall of Fame

I have to admit that Hebrews is not my favorite book in the Bible to read. There is a lot of pretty  heavy stuff in there. My mind tends to wander a bit as I try to concentrate on the words. And then there is chapter 11, called the Faith Hall of Fame by many. Throughout the chapter I […]Read Post ›

Pruning is Painful But Good

I am not anywhere near an expert on plants. But our greenhouse window stays green. Some people accuse me of having a green thumb, but in reality, my thumbs have very little with those plants in the window. Yes, there is usually a lot of green. But I do not follow all the directions you […]Read Post ›

A Recovery Parable

(A parable is defined as an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. This one is truly not inspired as are the ones in the Bible. I originally wrote this about 25 years ago in a newsletter for recovering alcoholics and their families. At that time I was told that the message was a little blunt. I […]Read Post ›
