During October, we will shift our attention from the books of the Kings to the Psalms. Three of the Psalms we will study are written by King David, and King Solomon wrote one. Today, we begin with Psalm 122 as we look at An Invitation to Worship. Psalm 122 is the second Psalm of Ascent.Continue reading “Come and Worship”

Life is a Fight!
Bump……bump, bump, bump…..bump, bump, bump…..bump, bump, baaaaaaa! Bump……bump, bump, bump…..bump, bump, bump…..bump, bump, baaaaaaa! And now you have the theme song from Rocky III, Eye of the Tiger, stuck in your head. You can thank me later. Life is a fight. We are fighting from the moment we take our first breath until the momentContinue reading “Life is a Fight!”
Sacred Accountability
After several weeks of travel, I am happy to be back in the grove—almost. Today’s blog is an adaptation of this past Sunday’s sermon. It is not uncommon for us to hear the word accountability. We recognize the importance of people around us who help us remain accountable. That might be accountability in our work,Continue reading “Sacred Accountability”
When Dreams Die
About a year ago, I went through a season of extreme discouragement. It is a time I hope I never have to repeat. There were moments when I thought I might not survive spiritually or mentally. I suppose, at some level, I was in a season of depression. One might wonder what brought on suchContinue reading “When Dreams Die”
Danger, Comparison Ahead
Comparing is human nature. We do it daily as it applies to many aspects of our lives. I compare menu items for lunch, fruit at the grocery store, the health of flowers at Home Depot, or the two socks that don’t match, but my teen wears them anyway. What’s up with that trend? Caprison isContinue reading “Danger, Comparison Ahead”
Change Is Needed
I am not a person who finds change difficult. I see change as exciting. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to find a new career every few months, but I love the progress that change brings. We have a new grocery store opening at the entrance to our subdivision. I could not be moreContinue reading “Change Is Needed”
“Drat and Double-Drat”
I love being a child of the 1980s. Maybe not so much now that I am middle-aged, but it was a wonderful time to grow up. The cartoons were continuous and clean. We rode our bikes with BB guns in tow. We scaled fences, cheered for the Goonies, and rocked to “Don’t Stop Believing.” RonaldContinue reading ““Drat and Double-Drat””
It’s Personal
I have never liked it when people comment, “Children are the future of the church.” The same applies to Whitney Houston’s hit song, The Greatest Love of All. Sorry, Whitney. It was not your best work. While I understand the intent, I have a fundamental problem with this assertion. To say that children are theContinue reading “It’s Personal”
Why Sheep?
I have often laughed at the fact that Scripture refers to Christ’s followers as sheep. There are many reasons why this is an appropriate analogy. We will get into that later. The fundamental fact is sheep need a shepherd. They are not intelligent animals. Some might say they are dumb. I have heard farmers commentContinue reading “Why Sheep?”
“Bring It On!”
The Emperor’s New Groove is one of my favorite movies. There are so many quotable lines. “Bless you for coming out in public,” “Lamma face.” Or my wife’s favorite when she doesn’t want to do something, “I’ve been turned into a cow. Can I go home now?” Then, there is the scene where there isContinue reading ““Bring It On!””
