It’s no secret. I’m not a dog fan. For those of you who have that canine connection, that I don’t have, I think that’s great! I’m glad you have that four legged creature to take care of and who gives you doggy pleasure. Our daughter Emily has a dog, a ‘YorkiePoo’ – you might check [...]
Pastor's Reflection
On Your Mark – Get Set – GO!
Did you ever race with your friends when you were a kid? I sure did. We raced on foot; on bikes and on go carts. We didn’t have an official with a gun to shoot a blank to get us off the starting line. All we did was fix our eyes on the goal line [...]
Marketing 101
You are impacted by marketing. Every product you see in a store; billboard; internet; newspaper; magazine or radio/TV commercial is a result of marketing. We can deny that marketing doesn’t impact us but it does. Probably 99% of the items in your house are there because someone in marketing first captured your attention then they [...]
Are You Contagious?
All fall and winter I was able to avoid any kind of flu that a lot of people were experiencing. For some who had the flu would say, “stay away from me” which sounded like a good idea to me! It’s not good to have someone around you if they are contagious with some kind [...]
Everyone is asking, “Why”?
As the tragic events of this week began to unfold everyone, including this pastor, began to ask ‘why’ did something like the massacre at Virginia Tech happen? Those who do not personally know Jesus and those who walk with Him daily ask the same question. For some reason we just want to make some kind [...]

Coffee Snob
I started drinking coffee when I was in high school when I worked at a hotel in the banquet department. During the break time between serving food and waiting for the dismissal of the group we would sit around and drink coffee. For some 25 years I drank simple, adequate, affordable coffee. You know – [...]
Sweet or Sour
Okay – I confess. I have a sweet tooth. I blame it on my mother who has a true, heaven sent talent when it comes to making desserts. Today I’ll take Snickers over a turnip without thinking about it. To this very day I can hardly wait to get the main meal behind me so [...]
In front of the hospital!
So I was leaving the Mercy Heart Hospital. You know – the hospital that specializes in heart problems. It’s at this hospital where patients discover that either from family genetics or poor living choices they have to have surgery. As I was leaving I couldn’t help notice a few people in front of the hospital [...]
Renewable Energy
For some reason I started thinking about what took place at gas pumps back in the early 70’s. Remember? I’ve got it locked in my memory file of cars waiting in line to buy gas. I even remember some gas stations having signs that said, ‘only ten gallons per car’. Crazy times! From the early [...]
