Positive & Uplifting
When I drove by Highland Elementary, I noticed maintenance personnel preparing for the kiddos so it reminded me to stop and pray. Will you pray with me for the successful reopening of our schools? It will only take about 2 minutes. And when you finish, would you send this email out to five friends who would also be willing to pray? Thanks…

When I drove by Taft Middle School, it was a reminder to me to stop and pray for our schools. Will you take just two minutes and join me? After we prayed last week, I had several of you tell me that you have sons, daughters and other relatives that are teachers. If you know anyone that’s a teacher or works at a school in any capacity,…

On my walk last week, I went by the construction site of Boulder Peak Elementary School in the Linn Mar School District. Just before I took this picture, I decided to stop and pray for the young minds and faculty who will inhabit this building for several hours each day for the very first time starting this fall. Would you be willing…

If it turns out that the morbidity rate of COVID-19 is no greater than that of the seasonal flu, we’ll all feel a little silly for making such a big fuss over it. However, at this moment, we still don’t know what may befall us even tomorrow, let alone the last day that the corona-virus makes someone sick on this planet. That’s…

One of my favorite passages in the Bible concerns a dilemma that occurred at a wedding feast where Jesus performed his first miracle. At the beginning of the gospel of John, chapter 2 we read: On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.…

I followed a chat on Facebook the other day that I found interesting. The participants were asked to give their personal answer to the following question. “How would we live our lives if we only had one more day left on this planet?” The answers were telling. Quite often, regrets were expressed in their answers for lives…

Happy National Hydration Day! I’m not kidding. There is actually a day dedicated to drinking more of that cool refreshment we all need and love. H2O aka: water. It was June 23rd in case you missed it. So I thought we needed a bible verse to celebrate as we slog down a few extra liters of cool refreshment this summer. (And will someone…

Isaiah 55:6 says, “Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near.” Now, the purpose of this post is not to enumerate under what conditions God may not be near. The prophet doesn’t tell us that and I don’t think that’s his point anyway. It seems his implication is that we should take…

I’ve always enjoyed the musical ministry of the band Skillet. There’s something attractive to me about a band willing to push the envelope and do the kind of music they feel called to. In the CCM genre, worship bands and solo artists have dominated the landscape over the past few years. Skillet has recently made an impression…

So often, in my job, I am given the privilege of praying for those who support us, often in critical moments in their lives. Â It was something I was not expecting when I first came here nearly a decade ago…yet something that has given me great joy. Such has been the case during this COVID-19 crisis. As the lockdown period has drawn…
