Fresh heart for the journey
Believability – who earns it? For the last forty years or so we’ve had increasing difficulty believing our politicians. What they say isn’t necessarily what they mean or know. Truth isn’t quite as important as expediency or appearances. And how believable are those ads promising instant relief from everything from acne to high blood […]
Kryptonite was a fictional radioactive ore from Superman’s home planet of Krypton.

60 Seconds of Pastoral Pondering A blog for pastors The Lord knows how hard we’ve worked to make it happen. We have prayed, strategized, connived and manipulated to make the church and its programs ‘seeker sensitive.’ The service has been shortened…the message simplified …we attempt to include at least one song from each […]
