No Change

You’ve heard the saying, “the only constant is change”, and it seems to be true.  Work, kids, marriages, friendships, churches, health, finances, homes, politics, passions…everything seems to change.  Just when we get used to something, it changes.  Just when we think we can count on something, it changes.
We can’t really count on anything staying the [...]

Puppet Master

I love my dog, but he isn’t that bright and he is very easily manipulated.  I can literally make him run to the back door by saying “go outside!?”  I can make him jump up, sit down and roll over (usually).  He isn’t quite like a puppet on a string, but it is close.  [...]

You don’t want me to use my loud voice!

This morning’s Band of Brother’s gathering was about NEUTRALIZING the NOISE between us and God.  I never know how a topic will hit the men that show up…this one seemed to hit home with many of us.  Here is the short version.

I’m not that good with names…

I rarely forget a face, but I’m just not that good with names.  I’ve tried all sorts of things to remember the names of people I meet, but only one thing really works for me.  Spending time with the person in conversation allows me to know them well enough to remember their name.
Use the following list of God’s [...]
