All Deal with Reconciliation – April 29, 2025
The Lessons for May 4 are: Acts 9:1-6, 20 Psalm 30 Revelation 5:11-14 John 21:1-19 All deal with Reconciliation The ability of people to come together seems elusive in our time.

April 19, 2025 – The week after EASTER
I thought this Obituary for Jesus was cleverly done. There are many details of Jesus’ life in the Gospels, but there are other sources as well that affirm the events of his life, like other writings and archaeology.

MARCH 25, 2025 – Finding the Lost Ones Last week I wrote about the show Lost in Space. This past week, Sunita “Suni” Williams and Barry “Butch” Wilmore returned to earth after an eight-day mission turned into more than 9 months in space.

Warning Labels – March 10, 2025
MARCH 19, 2025 – Warning Labels When I was a kid, Lost in Space was on the air. Not a great show, but I do remember the line – Warning, Warning Will Robinson. Normally, something Dr. Smith was doing lead to the warning. His schemes always ended up poorly. He is pictured below without even a […]
