For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise … Continue reading

A Holy Stink (by Len Winneroski)
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are to God the pleasing aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are an … Continue reading
Spring (by D.A. Cobb)
Every year at this time I say the same thing, “What in the world am I doing living here.” It is now the middle of January and we’ve already topped last year’s snowfall and this morning the temperature dipped below zero. Today’s high was 5 degrees with more snow to come. Next week the forecast … Continue reading
Exposure (by D. A. Cobb)
Before the days of television I enjoyed listening to college football bowl games on New Year’s Day. Back then there were only four; the Sugar, Cotton, Orange and the granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl. Today there are thirty five bowls represented by seventy teams and the telecasts run from December 17th to January … Continue reading

I cannot even begin to imagine the heartbreak and emotions such an event would trigger. She also called to ask me to pray for the mother … Continue reading
Tilting (by D.A. Cobb)

After dinner my daughter in law brought out our favorite dessert, chocolate cake. She used her grandmother’s famous receipt and it was wonderful. Many at the table questioned if it … Continue reading
Renewed Year (by Ricky Maye)
As this New Year has begun, I can truly say I am not anticipating it; at all. I am, however, hoping for a renewed year. A year of rekindled desires, relit flames and a spark of passion for those things I once had a passion for. My hope is that a passion you may have … Continue reading
God Intentions (by Len Winneroski)
Don’t fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don’t act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who … Continue reading
2011 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. Here’s an excerpt: The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 17,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 6 sold-out performances for that many … Continue reading
