Feed a cold, starve a fever

The saying “feed a cold, starve a fever” dates back to a dictionary published by John Withals in 1574 because a note indicated “fasting is a great remedy of fever.” The belief that has been sustained through the years is that the body needs ...

Showing Up

Happy Friday! Last Sunday, I approached Tammy, our Ding Dong Ditch leader, and asked how many people we had that still needed to be chosen/adopted/sponsored. I believe 31 was the number. But Tammy immediately followed that number with the ...

Why Not Me?

It’s a message illustration I’ll never forget. The pastor was sharing how he visited a family where the wife had just received a terminal cancer diagnosis. That’s always tragic, but this particular instance had some untimely ...

What If to What Is

When I write it is similar to when I preach. Thinking about the meditations for much longer than it takes to sit down and type out the words. The whole process, the thinking, the planning, then the actual writing, is a sacred time and space. ...

Do you see the signs?

When King Ahaz found out that because he wouldn’t join in on Israel and Aram’s fight against Assyria, they were going to attack him/his kingdom, to say that he was afraid would be a giant understatement. “They were badly shaken. They shook ...

Black Holes and Hope

Black holes, some of the most enigmatic and fascinating phenomena in the universe, are far from being mere voids in space. Imagine a star ten times the mass of the Sun, compressed into an area as small as New York City—this is the essence of a ...

Gratitude, Vision, and Generosity

We are in the beginning of our series leading up to Christmas, "Bright Spots,” remembering the promises of God that carry us through our journey and recognizing how these promises were revealed through the Christmas story. YOU are a bright ...

Magic Potion for Hope?

Hope can be built on the knowledge of promises. Fulfilled promises, that is. Think about it . . . What makes you believe a promise that is made? Prior knowledge of that person and situations. If someone has always done their best ...

You Better Not Pout, I’m Telling You Why . . .

I've been pouting. And dreading writing an article about gratitude because I was having a tough time finding words to be "motivational." First of all, I am apparently not designed for a career in sales. A few months ago Dawn made an amazing ...

“Would I be able to try to start Yoga Church?”

"Would I be able to try to start Yoga Church?" I'm not sure those were the exact words, but it was something like that uttered by Dawn Lynch years ago. She knew that the "vision" was there, but for some reason the staff assigned to carry out ...

The Next Kind Thing

As Hal Donaldson faced decisions about what his life was ultimately going to be like, his main focus was breaking the cycle of poverty. Thus, he decided to solve that issue with education. He became a successful journalist and at 29 was ...
