Some Christmas Thoughts on Mary, The Mother of Our Lord

Miryam bath Heli, in one sense of the word, was the most important person that ever lived. We know her as Mary, the mother of Jesus. She was the daughter of Heli (bath Heli). She was very young and already betrothed to be married; but she was chosen by God to be the mother of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Mary must have been shocked beyond imagination when the angel Gabriel appeared in her humble dwelling in Nazareth and began to speak to her. When he said, “Greetings, Highly Favored One, the Lord is with you: Blessed are you among women,” she was troubled and did not know what to think and apparently feared what might be coming, because the first thing Gabriel told her was not to fear. Then Gabriel … Read entire article »

Are You Smarter Than a Five Year Old?

I awoke this morning to find an envelope from my 5 year old labeled “To Dad” beside my head.  I was going to reach for my Bible first as is my habit, but felt that I should open his letter first.  I’m glad I did.  I spent a while just looking at the picture and marveling at the simplicity and truth in it.  I’m sharing it with you in the hopes that it will give you pause for thought.  It might be easier to print it if your screen is small. Click the following link to bring up the PDF image: A five year old looks at the cross Some Explanation of the Picture In the picture, on the right is a “bragger.”  He has a frown on his face. In the middle … Read entire article »

If Only You Knew: A Poem on Identity

This third poem was sent in with the request to publish it “Name Withheld.”  Even as a believer, people sometimes lose sight of who they are and what God says about them.  I’m posting it here as a reminder that even in the seeming comfort of the church there are still struggles.  People with real problems attend our churches and need to know HOW to find the answer in Jesus Christ. If Only You Knew Bitter, angry, alone, Scared of the unknown. Confused, messed up, hurt, Feeling less than a piece of dirt. ‘Why am I here?’ you cry, Awaiting for that longed reply. ‘where do I belong?’ you shout, feeling fear and nothing but doubt. Pushed, pulled, stretched, It’s all SO far fetched. which way do I turn? what is it I yearn? This and that, here … Read entire article »

Drunken Believer: A Poem About Alcohol

This second poem was sent in with the request to publish it “Name Withheld.”  It deals with a person who professes Christ as Lord and Savior but falls into the snare of alcohol.  I’m posting it here as a reminder that even in the seeming comfort of the church there are still struggles.  People with real problems attend our churches and need to know HOW to find the answer in Jesus Christ. Drunken Believer There is a time on Saturday night When you go home, you look a sight. You went out, you had some fun You drank a bit, in fact a ton. Pub to pub, vision blurred Words you spoke, they were slurred. Did I trip? Did I fall? You don’t know, you forgot it all. Now you’re torn, what to do? You love God, that … Read entire article »

Constant Battle: A Poem on Anorexia

This poem was sent in with the request to publish it “Name Withheld.”  I’m posting it here as a reminder that even in the seeming comfort of the church there are still struggles.  People with real problems attend our churches and need to know HOW to find the answer in Jesus Christ. Constant Battle A constant battle day and night Will I eat or will I fight. One skipped meal turns into two, Not one bite, not even a chew. My stomach’s hungry, but I won’t cave, I’m holding fast, not going to waive. Can you hear that faint grumble, Soon to be a real loud rumble. I need more fuel, its telling me, Crying out, longing to be free. I restrict, I refrain Listen to me I am your brain. I’m in control, I’m in charge No more butter, no more marge. This is me, … Read entire article »

Children and Scripture

Today, I was reading Psalm 116 to some of my children.  As is often my custom, I would read a verse and then ask a question to make sure they were listening. I got to the verse about, “You have delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.”  I asked my daughter, “What has God delivered our soul from?”    “Death.”   I asked my son what God delivered our eyes from, and he had trouble remembering that part.  While one child was “boo-hooing,” as a hint I asked my younger daughter, and she said, “Tears.”   Then I asked my son, “What did God deliver our feet from?”  He said “Falling.”  About that time my younger daughter chimed in with “Stinking!” QUESTION:  Has God delivered your feet from … Read entire article »

Did It Snow on Christmas Day?

Did It Snow on Christmas Day?

As I look at the snow falling outside my window, I ponder how many of our perceptions of Mary and Joseph’s situation arise from our own geographical location. We think of the poor cold baby and the shivering shepherds.  Likely it was not that cold when Jesus was born.  The shepherds  were probably having a cool but rather uneventful night when the angels appeared. Regardless, He came.  And for that we celebrate.  And the world … Read entire article »
