ITS RICHES. Jerusalem, my Home, Where shines the royal throne; Each king casts down his golden crown Before the Lamb thereon. Thence flows the crystal river, And flowing on forever, With leaves and fruits on either hand, The Tree of Life shall stand. In blood-washed robes, all white and fair, The...

ITS INHABITANTS "A little way! I know it is not far To that dear home where my beloved are; And still my heart sits, like a bird, upon The empty nest, and mourns its treasures gone, Plumed for their flight, And vanished quite. Ah me! Where is the comfort? Though I say They have but journeyed on a...
I have been a local church pastor for over 25 years, and in that role, I’ve served four different churches, two of which were church plants. For that reason, people tend to think that talking to unbelieving or unchurched people I meet about my relationship with Jesus must come naturally or easily...
May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, remain in your heart, O God, our strength, our courage, our freedom. Amen. Perhaps it’s not the most auspicious way to begin my preaching ministry, but I must start with a confession: for me, there is no other book in the Bible more...
I consider myself a “child of the sixties”, by which I mean not that I was born in the 1960s, but that they were my formative years. In 1969 I was 25 years old. During the preceding decade I arrived at some clarity, at least in broad terms, about what I value, how the world works and my place in...
January 28, 2008 Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! (2 Peter 1:2) In the latter months of 2007, there was a flurry of incidents attempting to censor America's religious heritage (e.g., the capstone at the Washington Monument, the flag...
I think it may have something to do with advancing middle age, but i seriously do not understand the weight of glory we give to celebrities in our culture. I'm pretty old school. I grew up in Western Nebraska with a rotary phone on the wall, a TV console that received CBS, NBC, ABC, and PBS, and...

ITS HAPPINESS "What! almost home?" "Yes, almost home," she said. And light seemed gleaming on her aged head. "Jesus is very precious!" Those who near Her bedside stood were thrilled those words to hear. "Toward His blest home I turn my willing feet; Hinder me not; I go my Lord to meet." Silence...
ITS CERTAINTY. I shine in the light of God; His likeness stamps my brow; Through the Valley of Death my feet have trod, And I reign in glory now! No breaking heart is here, No keen and thrilling pain, No wasted cheek where the frequent tear Hath rolled and left its stain. * * * * * * * * O friends...
Daddy's turn! I've been impressed with watching Jor and Tash blog, knowing deep down that "HEY! I'M the family (wanna-be) AUTHOR!" Scoot over, amateurs!! With the new year comes a new chapter, and I must say to my detractors, "No, this won't be a pattern in my life." 2009 will NOT find us moving yet...

Look at the ages. 19. 20. 22. 25. 34. 28. 19. Today a female suicide bomber killed 40 or so people. It is an unwanted occupation.

ITS REWARDS Not here! Not here! Not where the sparkling waters Fade into mocking sands as we draw near; Where, in the wilderness, each footstep falters! "I shall be satisfied;" but oh, not here! There is a land where every pulse is thrilling With rapture earth's sojourners may not know, Where...
Quite often I find being a Christian tough. Not because I have a lot of trouble with most of the ‘Commandments’ but more to do with what I see as hurtful acts that are done in the name of Christianity and to me these acts fly in the face of everything I believe in. One of the biggest struggles I...
In light of the media with Mitt Romney and his religion being in the spotlight (being the same religion as me), and being that the media and other people tend to construe what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is all about, I would like to address over a period of time/blog entries by...
