Dear Family and Friends, I’ve been trying to figure out how to start this year’s letter for some time now. I’ve been reflecting on the past year’s activities and events and what has happened this past year, what God has been doing, what has been going on. I was blessed this year to be inContinue reading “December 2008 – Merry Christmas!”

Come play with me…  Wait, that’s not it… Come watch me play… No, that’s not it either… OK, now I got it.  Come watch me IN a play!  That’s it.  Yessiree, I’m doing another play, surgically repaired shoulder and all!  Come see “It’s A Wonderful Life – A Live Radio Play” beginning this Friday atContinue reading “Play Time”

I support different causes, but don’t necessarily get involved in the effort (ok, my bad).  I supported Proposition 8 through my vote, but didn’t get involved in online discussion.  I support different Christian organizations through financial donations.  I support March of Dimes through my job.  I get involved, but usually not deeply involved.  I mustContinue reading “Fight the Freedom of Choice (FOCA) Act”

This is quite the challenge, typing with a sling, but that’s what I’m doing.  You may have wondered why I haven’t posted in a while, or maybe you haven’t, but I’ve been dealing with shoulder pain for most of this year.  I had shoulder problems years ago, but a cortisone shot took care of it. Continue reading “Call Me Gimp”

OK, where to start… Last night at my community group we started off with politics and ended up with politics.  Religion and politics… {shudder} Actually, it wasn’t that bad.  It really wasn’t bad at all.  The discussion was good as we filled out what Gareth had shared on Sunday in his message, “In the World,Continue reading “Information Overload”

I follow Justin Taylor’s blog, Between Two Worlds.  For quite some time, he’s been writing about and sharing what others have written about Barack Obama’s stance on abortion and the painfully illogical decision by so many evangelical Christians to support him in spite of this stance.  Obama’s supporters say he stands for so much moreContinue reading “Abortion”

Ok, so the plan was to have a rather simple evening of fellowship, nothing too heavy or deep.  There hadn’t been a specific message from Sunday to discuss.  Someone even suggested playing some card games after a brief time of prayer.  Then Elda asked for a brief synopsis of the service on Sunday.  She’d beenContinue reading “Terzo’s Community Group”

When mainstream media begins writing about it.  MSNBC posted this article today from Newsweek. Violence against Christians in India Urbana.org had this to say about it last week. Voice of the Martyrs had these articles as well in recent posts on their website. INDIA – Violence against Christians Escalating in Orissa State India – MoreContinue reading “You know it’s bad…”

that we started Sundays like this, when my daughter was young… It is truly God’s grace that she has grown up to love the Lord, in spite of my bad examples. This video was shown at the recent National Desiring God Conference which had the theme “The Power of Words and the Wonder of God.” Continue reading “When I think of the times…”

I just added an "Unreached People of the Day" photo and stats to my website.  It's a little wider than the sidebar, so am in contact with Joshua Project to see if they can help me configure it to fit.  In the meantime, it's there as a reminder to pray for the unreached.  You canContinue reading “Unreached People of the Day”
