The December Message [2oo9]
Happy Thanksgiving… Merry Christmas! That’s about how fast the Thanksgiving season seems to go and how quickly the Advent and Christmas season arrives. It is essential that we live with a spirit of thanks as we prepare to celebrate Christmas. Psalm 100:4 tells us to “Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and praise His name.” Verse 5 explains why we are able to live with a spirit of thanks as it says ‘For the Lord is good and His love endures forever…

The October Message [2oo7]
One Saturday night a pastor was working late and decided to call his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife did not answer the phone even though he let it ring many times. He thought it was odd that she didn’t answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a few minutes. When he tried again she answered right away. He asked her why she had not answered before, and she said that it hadn’t rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their way...

A few months ago, I received an interesting e-mail entitled, “20 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Level of Insanity”. I won’t list all 20 due to lack of space, but I thought a few were humerous and worth a good laugh....
