In the early 90's (ya, ya, I'm dating myself) I really started to get into the music of Eric Clapton. He had been a guitar legend for many years. But in the 90s he came out with a record titled 'unplugged'. Clapton took a bunch of his songs, stripped them down, and...

We are entering a season of layers. Clothing layers that is. When the cooler weather rolls in we begin to think about what else to put on, what else to wear, instead of simple shorts and t-shirt. Like me, you probably know some die hards who will wear their shorts all...

Summer is passing us by. This always seems to be the case of course. We are surprised by July, shocked by August and sad with the thought of September. Why is it that summer feels like it flies by so fast? Before you know it, we’re putting the heat on in our homes and...

As we bring this series to a close our hope is that we end in the same way we started it: If there’s one thing we want to appreciate and understand about the Holy Spirit, it’s this - He is present. As a kid I used to do something strange to get my mom's attention....

Just ahead of finishing up our 'spirituality' series, we thought we'd fit in a brief talk about summer, your plans for it, and why it's important to schedule more than vacations and rest. There are officially 93 days of summer. June 21-September 21. It creeps us on...

I've tried my hand at gardening. The verdict is still out if I'll be successful. Things are growing, but time will tell if we'll actually eat some fresh food from our garden. My bet is yes!!! So many of us don't really consider how much work it takes to get food to...

Seems like when we ask the question, “What does it mean to be spiritual?” we come at it as individuals and try and take from it something for ourselves, personally, almost selfishly. We might say or ask things like - I want to know what it means to be spiritual - I...
