Moved By A “Dead” Leaf

Good morning... "Aimlessness is akin to lifelessness," writes a famous religious teacher of our day. His devotional went on to say, "Dead leaves in the backyard may move around more than the dog, more than the children. The wind blows this way, they go this way. The wind blows that way, they go that way. They tumble, they [...]

If I Had This Superpower

Good morning... "If you could have one superpower, what would it be?" the ice-breaker question asks. What superpower would you choose? Like a kernel of corn, my best answer pops in my brain. If I was given one superpower, I would choose to possess the power to shrink or to expand the moment at hand, on any given day, [...]

I Was Just Trying To Help

Good morning... "Listen to your life," says Fredrick Buechner, writer, preacher, theologian. "See it for the fathomless mystery it is...touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace." (Listening To Your Life, 1) We just had a conversation that did [...]

Invest In The Invisible

Good morning... "What is essential is invisible," whispered yesterday's post. We wake to a time of visible unrest. Hurricane devastation. Senseless violence. Political bullying. As the world looks out-of-sorts, God remains the same. Today and every day, how might we invest in the invisible? Love. Roots. Trust. Hope. Spirit. God's Word. Faith. Senses. The living Christ. When we [...]

Do Not Give Up Hope

Good morning... Gravity says, "What goes up, must come down." Planted bulbs promises, "What goes down must come up." A wise father encourages, "Plant rapid-rising radishes with your slow-growing carrots so, seeing green growth, you will not give up hope." And endurance develops strength of character, and character strengthens our confident hope of salvation. And this hope will [...]

What We No Longer Need Drops Off

Good morning... "The more we let God take over, the more truly ourselves we become - because He made us," says C.S. Lewis. "He invented us. He invented all the different people that you and I were intended to be. It is when I turn to Christ, when I give up myself to His personality, that I first [...]

Deep Waters Rise

Good morning... All week our TVs have afforded us front row seats for the forecasted devastation of Hurricane Florence. Experts have mapped out the mayhem, predicting the path of this strong-willed storm. What will we see when we turn on the news today? How many people over the coming hours will privately pray? "Save me, O God, for the waters [...]

The Mystery Of Manna

Good morning... Like morning manna falling for the first followers, God rains down the nourishment we each need for this day. When the dew evaporated, a flaky substance as fine as frost blanketed the ground. The Israelites were puzzled when they saw it. “What is it?” they asked each other. They had no idea what it was (Exodus 16:14-15a, [...]

God Visits Us Today

Good morning... Have you ever read the following Bible story? Until yesterday, I had not. Listen with me to this incredible account, and let's ponder together what God is saying to us today. ...Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed him. A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the [...]
