“On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?” He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as...

“Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” – (Mother Teresa) This is your Monday Short meditation and even though this is a brief message, I want you to think long and hard about what I am about to write. The words are few, but the weight of these words is heavy.  How many times have we procrastinated, postponed, put off doing something;...

In January of this year, Gary Johnson wrote an article answering the question, “CAN YOU FORGET HOW TO RIDE A BIKE.” In that article, Mr. Johnson stated, “An individual can never forget riding a bike. It is a skill embedded in our brains as part of our long-term memory.” The author goes on to elaborate on his answer: “Long-term memory is divided into two parts: procedural and...

“’For that reason, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision, but continually proclaimed to those in Damascus first, and in Jerusalem, and then all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they are to repent and turn to God, performing deeds consistent with repentance. For these reasons some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to murder...

“After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the Lord or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel. The Israelites did evil in the Lord’s sight and served the images of Baal. They abandoned the Lord, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They went after other gods, worshiping the gods of the people around them. And they...

My early morning routine starts with setting out two coffee cups, one for me and one for my wife. Beside her cup, I place packets of sugar-free sweetener and a tiny sugar-stirring spoon.
