GET UP – GET DRESSED – GET GOING We’ve all got a “morning routine” that starts our day. Sometimes it is a bit different, but most of us vary it only infrequently. I start my day by greeting the King. I remember reading something related to the UK’s royal family that captured my interest. It … Read more
DON’T FORGET It’s all too easy to forget things. Even important things. I remember reading about a florist who would send flowers for a missed anniversary and take the blame (for a fee) just so the spouse could look as though they had not forgotten. I’m certainly not encouraging lying, but just pointing out the … Read more
Here’s a bit of a twist on the standard daily devotional. Today’s verse is a simple two-step process. It says, “GIVE THANKS to the Lord and proclaim His greatness,” and then “LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW what He has done.” It is far too easy to listen to the word of God, and listen, and … Read more

Having survived The Crucible, the concluding exercise of the US Marine Corps Boot Camp, I understand a thing or two about difficult training. I have sons, young men I’ve mentored and others I know who’ve made it through some of the toughest training demands various branches of the military can make. “Fun” is not the … Read more
One hears of “refugees” often today, especially with regard to the southern border of the United States. It is a word commonly used, and probably even abused. One doesn’t seek refuge from discomfort. Refugee status has historically been reserved for those in the deepest and most dire of dangers. A refugee is granted that status … Read more
Today is Memorial Day in the United States. Many nations have a particular day set aside to remember the men and women who have fallen in battle. Today is ours. There are many things that are important to remember. Some sacrifices are too significant, too important to be forgotten. A life sacrificed on behalf of … Read more
