Some time ago, (that’s a polite way of saying a loooonnnngg time ago), I started posting about an exercise regimen I was beginning. I was using the app My Tracks on my Android smartphone to record how far and fast I walked “every evening”. Well, throw some back pain in there and I didn’t walk … Continue reading »

Hymns as Poetry: William Kethe
Such is the title of one of my latest library book sale acquisitions. I figured that 10 cents wasn’t really a risk – and was actually pleasantly surprised by my find. I found this gem in the Goshen Public Library, Goshen, Indiana on Thursday, April 14, following a chiropractor appointment at the Goshen Chiropractic Center. … Continue reading »
Celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Day

In 1963 he led a march on Washington, DC in which an estimated quarter million marchers participated. It was at the Lincoln Memorial where he delivered … Continue reading »
Marvelous Light by Charlie Hall
I was introduced to this worship song at the Real Man conference held at Faith Baptist Church, Lafayette, IN this past weekend. Not only did I appreciate all of the worship being led by Titus Justus, but this song just has a wonderful message that I think is so true. I have posted a youtube … Continue reading »
Suffering, Hardship & Difficulties…What do you do with them?
Just a short note to my friends at Calvary Baptist in Leesburg: I’ve been studying 1 Peter 1 for my upcoming sermon Sunday night in our ongoing study of Peter’s epistle. My sermon will be entitled, “Salvation & Suffering: Where Does the Joy Come in?” Sometimes I just want to say that I didn’t sign … Continue reading »

Yesterday I was able to take a break from the “normalcy” of life and attend an open house for my nephew’s wife, who recently completed her college studies. At their farm in Lakeville, Indiana – just south of South Bend, we joined up with other family members and friends to encourage and celebrate her achievements. … Continue reading »
Some Rules of the Bean from Dreaming in Color
Every year in our church we have several students from Grace College attend our services. I absolutely love this time when they come and get wholeheartedly involved. I try to keep up with them on several levels, one being reading their blogs if I am made aware of them. Today I re-post part of one … Continue reading »
7.5 miles in 2.25 hours. I’m beat
Really pushed it today. The weather was so nice though, I thought I’d take advantage of it. 7.5 miles later, my legs are screaming, by feet are killing me and my back is fussing a bit too. I’m determined to get my back muscles back in shape after surgery on 9.23.09. (spinal fusion) Perhaps I … Continue reading »
How to Change Your Wife by Faith – James MacDonald
On the week of February 7-12, 2010 I attended the Biblical Counseling Training Conference at Faith Baptist Church in Lafayette, IN. While there I was browsing the displays and picked up several copies of a two-faced (…will explain that later) booklet entitled, “How to Change Your Wife by Faith“. What I mean by two-faced is … Continue reading »
Come aside & rest a while
Took a quick walk with my bride, Angie, tonight. I say quick because it was snowing and cold. We walked exactly a mile and in that distance, I found an old couch just begging for a weary traveler to rest a bit. I obliged. I did not linger due to the snow melting ‘neath me, … Continue reading »
