Please pray for my son this Tuesday morning. He will be having surgery to remove a fairly large (~2 inches in diameter) congenital mole located just below the neckline along the sternum. The surgery is to take between 6am and 7:30 am at Charlton Hospital in Fall River, MA.
I’ll let you know how it went Tuesday afternoon.
Thanks!
This is too good to pass up. Now, you too can own your very own talking president action figure. I’m serious. You can actually buy these things…really. 
My son and I saw the movie Elf tonight and I thought I’d let you know how good I thought it was…
Yeah, sometimes that’s a phrase that is used just to make conversation. As I was thinking about what true thanksgiving was all about, I thought that I would search the Bible and find out what people were thankful for back then…
I was deeply saddened and shocked to hear news that two of our troops died in Mosul today. Apparently, their vehicle was fired upon and crashed into a wall. What made it horrifying was that teenagers dragged their bodies out of the vehicle and proceeded to attack them after they were apparantly dead. That was almost more than I could bear. My heart breaks for the families of these two servicemen who served their country to the end. Please pray for them.
Mark is different than the other Gospels in that it jumps directly into the ministry of John the Baptist as the “voice shouting in the wilderness” (v. 3, NLT) followed by Jesus’ pre-ministerial actions. Genealogies are skipped and the portrait of our Savior as a servant is developed. Not only is He the perfect servant but also the pattern servant that we should follow…
As a kid, I remember hearing adults say things like “time flys when you get old.” I never fully understood how time could get faster the older we got until I became an adult. It’s no wonder that there’s so much high blood pressure and other kinds of self-induced heart disease in our society…
How many of you are goal oriented? Many people are and that’s good because completing goals gives us a sense accomplishment and self-worth. A sense of purpose, if you will. Many of us define our lives by our goals and accomplishments. It’s even encouraged in the workplace. Is this a good thing? It can be so what does the Bible say about it? …
Today while browsing another site that discusses repenting, I realized how close we can teeter toward despair when dealing with repentance.
Look at the woman brought to Jesus right from an act of adultery. Was there any pressure when he said, “Go and sin no more.” How could it even be possible for her to stop leading a life of sin?
Have you ever searched for yourself on the Internet using a search website? Try it! You might be surprised by what you find…
Please pray for my oldest daughter. She’s been ill for the past few days. She went to the doctor’s office today and having blood work done tomorrow. I’ll update more when I know more. Thank you.
As Veteran’s Day comes to a close, hopefully we are mindful of the many sacrifices that the men and women of this nation have made so that we might be free. It was only by the shed blood of her people that America obtained the freedoms that it did. These freedoms are often taken for granted by those who see the military as an unnecessary line item of the national budget. Not so with me. I served in the military out of a strong desire for service to my my country and to have a greater sense of purpose. A purpose that was put there by a God who had something greater for me…
