I was reading the other day in Philippians where Paul speaks about something we don’t hear much about today…contentment. As we read his letters, he wrote to the churches about his everyday experiences and we understand that he never viewed himself as a victim of life’s circumstances, but a victor over every and all of the circumstances of life…why?
Someone once said “Life’s burdens must never be carried alone”. Thank God for the body of Christ and friends, real friends, not fair-weather friends…but the ones who stand by us through thick and thin.
My message on Valentine’s Day was about love. As I pondered the word, I asked myself the question, “What do we really understand about love?” It’s hard to define the word. So then I turned to I Cor. 13 and I became more confused!
I recently lost an old friend of almost 30 years. Someone once said “When we lose a friend in life, a bit of us dies”. I don’t know if that’s true, but it sure seems like it is. What is it about this life that’s so deceptive?
Well, here we go…it’s finally summer! If you know me, you may wonder if I’ve flipped my lid or something. Summer isn’t typically my favorite time of the year. Many people know I really love spring, fall, and winter much better. So what’s that all about?
