04172022 – Easter 8 A.M. This is normal…this is what I do, so “kindly” indulge me… Where does the Easter Bunny go – when he needs “a new tail?” – The retail store! Where does the Easter Bunny get his “eggs?” – From an eggplant! What do you call an egg that “meditates?” – An […]
04172022 – Easter 10 A.M. I am no fool. Well, sometimes, I am. Sometimes, I do dumb things, say dumb things, and think dumb things…that’s just me… But when it comes to “this morning”… I am WAY SERIOUS. I only want “the best.” Nothing else will do. I get it. I know my “gifted tongue” […]
Easter – 04042021 – 10:00 A.M. Mark’s Gospel leaves people hopefully “wondering,” and “longing for more.” The Tomb is empty. Jesus is nowhere to be seen. The three women (Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome) are greeted by an “unknown messenger…” Early in the morning…the darkness still […]
04122020 – The Resurrection of Our Lord! “Life CRISES” can change us FOREVER! Many people will long remember the COVID-19 crisis and the toll that it has taken upon “OUR WORLD” in 2020. “Future generations” will be TOLD about WHAT we lived and died through. “Dramatic MOMENTS” can turn “deep sorrow” into great “JOY” that […]
We live in a world with “thousands of voices and all kinds of distractions”…all of which, are trying to push their own agenda. Distractions are “everywhere to be found!” Are You Listening? Can you hear me, now? We live in a time with more “distractions” then ever… And we seemingly love it that way… keep […]
Isn’t there an “old saying,” about there being…“a lot more fish in the sea?” I thought there was! There are always more fish. You just have “TO KNOW” where to LOOK for them… So, there’s another story…a “Jesus story!” “After this,” meaning “after the last resurrection appearance”…Jesus appears AGAIN to HIS disciples this time, near […]
The disciples are “overwhelmed.” “Life,” has just been throwing a lot at them. I mean a lot! Most of us have been there! They went from the “dire diagnosis” that Jesus — their buddy, their guy — was dead…crucified at the hands of the Roman authorities-egged-on by the crowds. Mary showed up early on the […]
It is hard to imagine…that there is “a believer” anywhere…who wouldn’t have traded places with “old Thomas…” I mean, what a “golden opportunity…” it was. What a “priceless chance…” …“imagine the growing anticipation…” It was a “once in a lifetime thing…” If, given the chance, to see for yourself… “that face”…to look into “those eyes”…to […]
I do not know if you are aware of this or not…but… A lot of people say, “I believe in the resurrection; I just don’t understand it.” George Gallup did a poll that said 84 percent of people who “never go to church” believe Jesus rose from the dead. Obviously, the percentage rises with active […]
OK, “two quick ones…“just because” it is still an “early hour” for some of us! I heard about a little boy sitting next to his best friend at church one Easter Sunday morning at 8:00. His friend asked, “How did you get that big ugly bruise on your arm?” The boy replied, “I ate some […]
