😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  Sunday’s Gospel was Luke 17:11-19, Christ’s encounter with healing 10 lepers.  From a distance, the 10 unclean, in a loud voice asked Christ to have pity on them, to heal them.  He didn’t say, “Let me think about that.”  Or, “Why should I have pity on you?” Continue reading “Wednesday, October 15, 2025”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  It seems like awhile since I sat down and talked with you.  The past two Wednesdays, Brian and I were on our Camino de Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage.  There was so much to take in; people (Many new friends.), towns, sights, sounds, feels (My feet definitely feltContinue reading “Wednesday, September 24, 2025”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  It’s really kind of cool how God speaks with us, but we have to be open to listening for Him.  The past six months I’ve been in a season of questioning if the job I currently have is where I should be.  On 08/31/25 I wrote theContinue reading “Wednesday, September 3, 2025”

😎🐫🎤 Christ’s peace and presence be with you.  What I like about the Book of James is that it’s a no-nonsense book.  James just puts it out there in plain English.  Okay, it wasn’t in English originally, but it’s translated well to English.  There isn’t a lot of fluff.  It’s to the point, easily understood,Continue reading “Wednesday, August 20, 2025”
