Hold On
One of many songs by the Canadian trio, Triumph, that lifted me up, kept me going, as a youth...and still today. "Hold On", from their 1979 studio album, Just A Game, let it lift you up too! "Music hold the secret, To know it can make you whole It's not just a game of notes, …
Commitment to Serve
Continuing to think about our veterans this week. I didn't grow up in a military family. My dad and grandfather got lucky; neither had to serve during the draft years of WWII, Korea, or Vietnam. I was lined up to enter an ROTC program when I headed into college, but then declined the offer. I …

Busy weekend finished up with Sunday afternoon grocery run, and then between the wife and me, putting three new dishes together for dinner. We worked well together in our little …
A Foundation of Grace
One of the readings for the weekend is from 1 Corinthians, Chapter 3. In the passage, Paul writes about how he, with God's grace, has laid a foundation for the believers in Corinth, and how additional layers would be laid upon that foundation.
