Do I Need to Pull Over?

Vacation. Vacation cross country. Vacation cross country in a car… with children…in August. Did your emotions change as this sentence grew? Everyone likes the idea of vacation, but driving cross country in a car with children in the heat of summer is almost comedic material for a description of suffering rather than something enjoyable.

Life Without Christmas?

Dear friends, What would life be without Christmas? What would your life be like without Christmas? Some of you are probably thinking, “It would a whole lot less hectic Glen!” True, but then again: No Christmas vacation No family traditions or memories No nativity scenes No gifts No carols in the malls No churches No…

Dear friends, I just returned from almost three weeks in Myanmar.  I want to thank you for praying and my trip was incredible!  I will share a little on Sunday and show a few pictures during my sermon intro! I also want to let you know that we will be having around 12 baptisms second…

CA STATE “ALLGRNZ”

Dear Church Family, Recently I was driving to my daughter’s soccer game when I snapped a picture of a Jeep with the license plate “ALLGRNZ.” As a church family on pilgrimage, we’ve been on different surfaces this week (although we’re all heading to same ultimate destination).

Asked Any Questions Recently?

Dear sojourners, Life is full of questions!  Some are trivial, some essential and some indispensable!  How would you answer this question?  What kind of people go to “heaven” if indeed such a place exists?  A common answer is, “good people go to heaven.”  The logic flows something like this:  There is a good God who…

Bird Songs and Bee Stings

Dear Church Family, I saw this cartoon in a magazine the other day. It shows a man sitting in an office cubicle with a beard of stinging insects. Perched around him are a variety of flying creatures. His boss approaches and says: “Roger, I think it’s time we had a little talk about the birds…
