Life Between Sundays
2013 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 700 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 12 trips to carry that…
Football Is My Life … NOT!
I love it and this afternoon, I’ll watch it. Sometimes I am intensely glued to the screen and other times it is just white noise. The intricate plot of a well written movie requires silence and total concentration as the viewer tries to predict the outcome….
Bad News Bear
I hurt with the hurt of my people. I mourn and am overcome with grief. (Jeremiah 8:21 NLT) I would not have wanted to be Jeremiah for many different reasons. He had a lousy message and he knew it. Every time he opened his mouth it was bad news. People knew and…
Presumption
Did you ever catch yourself presumptuously speaking for someone else? I am prone to this especially when introducing one friend to another. I caught myself in mid-sentence the other night, answering questions for someone well able to speak for himself. It is…

Bad Math
Reflections on 2 Kings 13:7 ” … Jehoahaz’s army was reduced to 50 charioteers, 10 chariots, and 10,000 foot soldiers.” Let’s see … ten thousand foot soldiers … plus ten chariots … plus … fifty charioteers equals ……
God Knows
Some thoughts on John 2:23-25 … Most of us come to Christ because we have something that we want. That’s not necessarily a bad thing … or a good thing. It’s just a thing. My desire to escape hell was my “thing”. I wasn’t compelled…
Oblivious
One of my personal cures for the pastoral blues was to visit the hospital. I always came away feeling better. Sometimes it was simply walking in and out and feeling “well” physically. Other times it was sitting with someone who had graciously accepted…
