What would we do?
What if one day,
all the old men went away?
The corner diner,
has less coffee drinkers.
No one buys,
The white Nike Air.
Who would change,
the furnace filters?
And make sure
the light switch is off.
Who would change the oil,
at exactly three thousand miles?
Who would rake the leaves,
and let them smolder all day?
And mow the grass at noon,
on a zero turn?
Who would drive the speed limit,
on a beautiful sunny day?
Who would listen to baseball,
on the radio in the car?
Shhhh…the game is on.
Who would let us know,
what the weather is soon to be.
And keep us aware,
of what the doctor had to say.
Who would make sure,
we are doing things right?
And give us tips,
on the project we’re working on?
If you don’t know;
I certainly do.
All the old men.
That’s who.

On Father’s Day
Father’s are under attack It’s Fathers Day and probably the sermons you will hear today, and the things posted on social media, will be attacks on Father’s. Little jabs talking about how they need to do better, and are the leaders of the household or some other form of guilt and shame. And we wonder…
Not As The World Gives
God Doesn’t Do Like The World Does. Jesus said. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”—John 14:27 (John 14:1-31–in context) When God calls us, and we turn to Him, confessing Jesus…
Does God Feel Distant?
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, and…
