  • Warming Up to Thanks

    Despite recent renovations to our almost 90 year old church building, there was no heat for worship service yesterday morning. The temperature outside was 23 degrees Fahrenheit. It wasn’t that big of a deal; everyone simply kept their coats on. Except for one brother from Northern Germany who was comfortable in his short sleeves. 😀🏝…

  • Please Read if You’re From Earth

    A few weeks ago I shared in a post, Kid Shoes, how I love to joke with young children at my school. It’s fun, for instance, to ask four-year- olds if I can try on their shoes. The look on little faces, as they consider this request, is priceless. However, if I ask an eight-year-old…

He is in awe of the beautiful sedans, but is saddened by the fact that…

    As you approach an intersection, in one of my favorite neighborhoods, there’s a massive tree in the middle of the road. I’ve driven by many times but never stopped. Until the other day. Curiosity got the best of me, so I parked my car and walked up under the expansive canopy. A quick Google search…
