The Rock of Frontrange

Frightful is the scene that played out in many cities and neighborhoods and front yards last night. Frightful is the scene of our nation’s current administration. Frightful is the truth of our economic insolvency and frightful is the aspect of believer’s lack of passion for Christ and His church. In the worst economy since the [...]

The Fall Season

I love Fall! I love the break in the heat. I love the cooler temps. I especially love the explosion of colors that start dotting the landscape until there is an absolute riot of rusty reds and brilliant golds and deep browns and dazzling yellows and flaming oranges and . . . aahhhh. Fall is [...]

Newcomer to Overcomer —the Pioneer Spirit

“A New Creation!!” “A Fresh Start!!” “A Clean Sheet!!” “A New Day!!” “Beginning……Again!!” These phrases are all familiar to us but are the feelings that accompany them? Do we really feel the freshness, the newness, the beginning without knowing what the future holds. Talk about the excitement of the great unknown! A few weeks ago [...]

Patience

Patience is a virtue. Now that I said that terribly overused phrase, we can move on to the nitty-gritty. I can wait and demonstrate patience but it never does feel like a virtue. It feels more like a punishment. Like Tom Petty sang, “the waiting is the hardest part.” Our computer crashed a little over [...]

SSO- Spiritual Spatial Orientation

This morning I awoke with a congested sinus and inner ear discomfort. My equilibrium is off and my head feels fuzzy and my ears are ringing. Not to fear, it will pass. It did get me thinking about our sense of balance and harmony. As believers in a fallen world, we must be diligent about [...]

An Achilles Heel

I preached a message many years ago entitled “Achilles Heel.” In that service, I spoke about the truth that we all have seen in ourselves over the years-that we deal with the same issue in life over and over again. This is not a morbid, hopeless discussion but a recognition of our continuing need to [...]

Our Iowa Trip 4/13 – 4/16

We drove on I-76 to I-80 and took the Adel exit. It was one of the fastest trips that we have ever made. It could have been because there were no “baby bladders” in tow. Anna stayed with the Wittrock’s and we stayed with the Gano’s. It was some of the smallest gatherings so far [...]

“The Rest of the Story-What was good is not always still good”

Five months ago I, along with five others, ran the Denver Marathon. I wrote shortly after the race about my becoming sick after 8 miles and progressively getting gravely ill until I gutted out the remaining 16 miles with intense pain and nausea. The race that was so well prepared for and held such high [...]

STUFF

In this day of morbid obesity, pork-barrel spending and conspicuous consumption, most of us have too much stuff. We could easily call the majority of all of our shopping in person and online, just accumulating more stuff. Stuffed is how we feel when we finish off round one of our Turkey-day feast. Stuffed is the [...]
