What happened to Christmas?
Christmas was, once, a wonderful time that was celebrated with family, friends and dinner at Grandma's house. Grandpa would gather the children around the fire place and tell them the story about Jesus Christ who was born on Christmas Day. Some people, now, call it a "holiday." People stand in line at at malls, after Thanksgiving, then rush through the doors to buy, buy and buy more...

The Meaning of Memorial Day
Too often Americans view the Memorial Day holiday as a pleasant three-day weekend kicking off the summer, perhaps with the year’s first trip to the beach or the lake....But it’s worth remembering that we are able to celebrate Independence Day only because of the sacrifices made by the men and women...

Cheap Sunglasses
About once every few years, I begin a search for a good pair of cheap sunglasses.  I think that my very first pair of shades folded up and fit into a pouch the size of a single lens.  That was an odd fashion trend, but I was wearing Jams and sporting a mullet at the time so I really can’t say a whole lot...

The Song of Heaven
Funerals create a melting pot of emotions within me.  Depending on the person that left this life, I feel great sadness or loss.  Sometimes I feel joy knowing that the person now basks in the glory of Jesus.  If the person that passed is someone that I didn’t know particularly well, I often experience empathy for the ones left behind...

Table for Two
I had a great conversation with a friend the other night.  It reminded me of a very similar one I had about fifteen years ago.  As I reflected on the similarities, I thought about how interesting it was that some issues in life transcend time or culture.  In both cases, the question was essentially the same – “How can I discern God’s will in my decision making?”..

Gypsy Homecoming
I heard a great song on the radio recently about a girl that visits the house where she grew up.  She is drifting in life and looking to reconnect with the place that held her childhood memories and built her into who she is.  I suspect that many have walked the same path.  For some, perhaps the journey home for the holidays unites more than just the family...

It Changes Everything
Some events simply change everything.  On the good side, things like a child’s birth or  a wedding can completely alter the course of a person’s life.  Even not so good things, like war or natural disasters hold the potential to permanently change the future of a community or nation.  Yet few events hold the power to change the course of all human history...
