That Which We Are Able to See
On our Uganda trip in October of 2017, we stayed in a new hotel in the village of Pakwach. Apparently, it was REALLLLLLLY new because they were still trying to work out a few kinks with the locks on their doors.
A gentleman on the trip, ...
Communion and Chewing Gum
Can you have the sacrament of Holy Communion if you chew gum in worship?
Recently there was an article in The Charlotte Observer about a young person who was denied communion in the church of his/her faith tradition.
There was a great debate ...
Bursting Through The Hurdles, No Matter What
In a 110 meters hurdles event at the Chinese University Games, a hurdler took a whole new approach to the race.
Straight from the start, he failed to clear the first hurdle and clipped the top of it.
When he tried to clear the second hurdle, ...
Hurdles of Holiness
What if there was someone you loved so very much . . . respected, revered, honored, but you could never personally encounter their presence? You could only experience their presence through someone else. And that “someone else” was not even one ...
Tainted Alcohol
Confession . . . the Smith family consumes alcohol in moderation. Hopefully, that isn’t a deal breaker for you. But – yes, we do drink. (And – Scott has given his permission for me to share this story!)

You’re Full of Yourself!
Have you ever been in a debate with someone about a political or moral issue and you find yourself saying, “If you’ve already made up your mind about this then why are we discussing it? Why bother?”
Or . . . have you ever been told, “You are ...
Dependent on Nothing and No One
A few years ago I had the opportunity to spend the night at the Homeless Shelter that New Story Church in Winston Salem offers throughout the winter months. Part of the experience was the time we sat around the dinner table with the guests of ...
I See You! I Hear You!
Forgive me for a tv example . . . . but years ago there was a show Parenthood (now on my gluttonous guilty pleasure Netflix)in which the father figure, Zeek, had some difficulty relating to his wife, Camille. Throughout the series, especially ...
Happiness is Happenstance
Have you ever felt “happy” to only find that within a matter of minutes, the day “tanked?”
One phone call, one text, one email, one exchange with another human being . . . bad news, a difficult situation to face, harsh words were spoken. . . ...
Changing One’s Mind
