Dear friends, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQLazbgz90c (Please watch before Sunday) Are you fond of insects? If so which one’s? I bet you didn’t know this bit of trivia: “It has long been recognized and documented that insects are the most diverse group of organisms, meaning that the numbers of species of insects are more than any other group.…
Dear beloved, Patty and I are flying from Dubai to SFO as I type! A sweet 15-hour flight – ok maybe not so sweet! I am sitting next to a woman with a little 6-month baby boy who has been crying most of the trip! Her name is Sharmin and the little guy is named…
Dear friends, I was a senior in high school, driving my hand-me-down, beat-up, faded-blue family sedan on my way to the Exploratorium in San Francisco. It was a school trip and had my friend with me, riding shotgun. Some of you might remember that the old Exploratorium used to be near the Golden Gate Bridge,…
Dear friends, I have done a lot of travel over the last 44 years! My eyes have gazed upon some beautiful and spectacular scenery. The Pyramids are something to behold but I would have to say for just one look, “Victoria Falls” is in a class by itself! I have been there countless times but…
Dear friends, How important is touch? We all know that it is one of our most important senses! I am not a developmental psychologist but I vividly remember the countless touches I received from dad and mom growing up! Perhaps I doubted at times my parents love but as I look back nothing stands out…

Dear friends, “For the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.” Luke 19:10 I would venture to say that most of you who receive this email would not put yourself in the category of being lost? But don’t be so sure! What do you think about when you…
Dear friends, I trust you had a blessed Thanksgiving – giving thanks! I can’t tell you the number of times I have heard a prayer at different meals with these words, “Lord, bless the hands that prepared this food.” I always try to thank Patty for every meal as her capable loving hands have blessed…
Dear friends, “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus!” Thanksgiving isn’t a once-a-year celebration for anyone who calls themselves a disciple of the Lord Jesus. It should be a daily reality! I can almost hear someone somewhere saying, “Glen, you have no idea about what I…
Dearly beloved, Who are you hanging out with? Does it really matter? If you are a parent, are you at all concerned about your children’s friends? Years ago, I memorized this verse: “He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm” Proverbs 13:20 Wisdom in the Old…
