To Know God Is Heaven and Freedom

So many people avoid church because they think they have to clean up their act and follow all the rules first. But these people have it backwards. To be fair, the problem may be that the church often looks down on these people instead of...

Pastor Dave and My Tuesday Three

I am so excited about our new pastor at my church, Pr. Dave Sorensen. I’ve only known him for a short time, but I already feel like he’s going to be a great pastor to our congregation, and to me, for quite some time to...

God’s Love Endures Forever

I had a wonderful weekend! Saturday was a nice relaxing day, though I got a lot done. Then I got to go see my son’s friend in a school drama production of Grease. But the best part of the weekend was our Sunday church service...

Psalm 45 – Christ the King Is Victorious

The Trinity – A Poem for My Tuesday Three

For My Tuesday Three today I decided I wanted to write a poem about, as Don McLean calls them in American Pie, “the three men I admire most: the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost.” I think of the Trinity whenever I write a Tuesday...

More Hope for the Hopeless

Last week I devoted my Music Monday post to a playlist of “music that is particularly helpful to people who are in less than hopeful situations.” I ran out of time to create a complete list of my favorite encouraging songs, so today I’m posting...
