Some Days Are …
by the way (and by the grace of God in Christ), I find most of mine to be this way. This week, in fact, seems to be filling up with some of the best among the better!
Musty
Have you ever wondered which came first “must” or “musty”? And how are they related – if they are related at all? Of course, by now you might be thinking that “he must be crazy” for asking these questions … or just plain “musty”!
Adjustments
I had the day perfectly planned. It would start with an appointment in the office. After that was just enough gap in my schedule to squeeze in two drop-in visits. These would be followed by two that were scheduled, leaving enough time to add one more…
Snowy
So, what are you planning to be up to today? The snowfall, though considerably less than predicted – again, is enough to close schools and change plans. My Thursday groups and our GSRP Preschool are cancelled for today, and our office is closed.

The Final Season
This year was like the last few Christmases. When family members asked me what I would like for Christmas, nothing came to my mind except sox and underwear – and this year I didn’t even need underwear! Fortunately for me, my family is both generous…
Missing Coat
I knew Sunday was going to be a busy day. After worship we were having dress rehearsal for Christmas Eve’s 4:00 p.m. service. Then, from noon until 1:00 p.m. I was hosting “Drive-up Communion” in our front parking lot. After that I would drive home,…
