Not long ago I happened upon the video record of Mr. Rogers’ induction into the TV Hall of Fame. When I was a kid my siblings and I didn’t like Mr. Rogers. He wasn’t our guy. We liked Officer Jo…

We are people of a certain generation. We are not the Great Generation. We didn’t fight a World War, nor did we experience the Great Depression. We are their sons and daughters. Our generation …

This is one of my go-to paintings for Passion Week. It is "The Denial of Peter," by Carl Heinrich Bloch, 1834-1890. Take a moment sometime today to study this...look at every corner, every face...and then tell me what you see in the eyes of the Prisoner.
I have a lot of Facebook friends that are in ministry. Many of them are posting invitations to their Good Friday and Easter services. Be brave, be open...find one and go. You may just experience something deep and meaningful.

You know the rest - "Lean on me, when you're not strong..." This is, often, the underlying tag line of our ministry to leaders. We've gone before them, and bring experience, academic and biblical study, compassion and understanding. We come up under them to lift them higher and to bring needed support. We come along side them to walk this difficult and challenging journey as friends and partners....

Okay, maybe this title is a little misleading. I didn't mean for it to infer that I was going to list all of a Pastor's duties, pulled off every Church's by-laws. What I'm meaning to reveal is what I've seen to be two of the most powerful things, central things, that a Pastor can, and should, do. And those two things are: to help people to hear God's voice for themselves, and then to put people in places where they can experience Him....

Ok, well, THAT'S a throwback. That little cheer was how we ended every Little League baseball game I ever played it. And I REALLY have not thought of it until just now. I'm finding that our culture has been turning lots of things upside down. We've elevated the famous and ignored those in need. We waste a lot...but protest to save all kinds of things....

1+1=2, like our ABC’s, are the basics of our learning journey From the beginning, we seemed to be ready to go to, and get to, the next level. There was ALWAYS a next level… So, when did that stop? When did we say, “ok, that’s enough, I’ve learned/grown enough.”? It might have been signaled by a diploma or a new job or promotion....

Isn’t that just like God!? This is a statement I learned, and adopted, from our NY church in 1987. It is a statement that I have only begun to learn the depth of. In Isaiah 30 we read, “…the Lord longs to be gracious to you, He waits on high to have compassion on you.” WARNING: I could write for days on this passage…but I won’t....

So, it's Christmas...and life has been, well, different. This past year I lost one of my brothers, suddenly. In a moment my best friend was gone. And we were all surprised and shocked. This past year one of my favorite sons (I have 3 favorites) got married. We weren't shocked or surprised. He found a wonderful wife. What was a little surprising was how moved we were to now have a daughter....
