Devotional 4/5: Opposite George Day
I was looking the other day at my childhood friend Mick’s mother, Sherry, on Facebook. She was giving a hug to my other friend Bob. Bob and Mick and I and others used to hang out. It was funny because Bob now has a white beard and a potbelly. He
Devotional March 18th: Why Can’t You Be Like Everyone Else?
A few weeks ago, I was talking to a person whom I have known for a long time and who lives far away. He was telling me about his son who is 32 and whom he feels is not “growing up” at the correct pace. His son is not married
Devotional March 3rd: We All Crap Our Pants When We Die, Thank God!
We are not God and God is different than us (Isaiah 55:8). Isn’t that something to be thankful for? I guess that is hard to understand if we believe that we are all there is. It is hard to understand if we believe that God is just something cavepeople made
Devotional Feb. 17: Take Me with a Grain of Salt
Are you one of those people who like to know what the people who disagree with you are saying? I do sometimes. I think it is important to have your perspective challenged and to learn what you can from others. Sometimes I get to see the other perspective even when
Devotional Feb. 10: I Can’t Get No Satisfaction, A-Hey,Hey,Hey
Several years ago, after the tsunami hit in the Indian Ocean, a friend and I were having a conversation. He had gone to Sri Lanka and had done some volunteer work to help out the people there. I was telling him some of my troubles and he told me that
Devotional Feb. 4th: Pie in the Sky? Make Mine a Slice of Pecan!
(heat it up and add some vanilla ice cream on the side) You will see on the Bloomberg Business section of the website that we followed the story of the Japanese hostages pretty closely. It was something that I found really troubling. The Muslim religion says that when you die,
Devotional January 28th: Faith, Hope, and Love (Again)
I was walking outside to get a sandwich yesterday when I saw a particular billboard. It was one of those billboards from those angry atheists in Wisconsin, the Freedom From Religion Foundation. It was not such a shocker to see it as I thought it was going to be, actually
Devotional January 21: Faith, Hope, and Love (is all you need)
As we think about Marin Luther King this week, we need to consider his earthly reward. For answering the call that God called him to he was beaten, imprisoned, and finally executed. He did not receive glorious riches for his obedience. Instead he received an abundance of faith, hope, and
Devotional for Week January 14th
When Jesus was here on earth, in the flesh, many people saw him and interacted with him but arrived at different views of him. They touched him, they saw him, they heard him, they probably smelled him too. Some saw him as a prophet or some heard him as a
Devotional For Week January 5th: Deuteronomy 28
George Washington is our first man of value, for this publication and for this country. He embodies our American Judeo-Christian values of faith, family, and freedom. Therefore, it is fitting to start our devotional section with some words from his first inaugural address: “…it would be peculiarly improper to omit
