Grieving

By ⋅ January 30, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

A few months back I was asked to read and review James R. White’s book, Grieving: Your Path Back to Peace (Crisis Points) by my Pastor for my input as far as giving this out to people we knew that had lost a loved one.  At the time, I was unsure who I knew that [...]

When is a Baby a Baby?

By ⋅ January 16, 2009 ⋅ 8 comments

In New Jersey, it depends on whether it lived outside the womb.  I recent case that is drawing attention once again to this question centers around a small body that was thrown out with the hospital’s trash.

You R Going 2 Die

By ⋅ December 16, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

So said the scrawling on the bathroom stall I found myself in Monday morning.  Now, I guess I could have taken it as a warning, and left immediately, but instead I found myself reflecting on the fact that we’re all mortal, and we all have a short time on Earth to make an impact.

Tim Russert Has Passed Away—Age 58

By ⋅ June 13, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I respected this journalist as someone that didn’t play favorites, did his homework, and made people from both parties squirm. He will be missed: WASHINGTON – Tim Russert, NBC News’ Washington bureau chief and the moderator of “Meet the Press,” died Friday after collapsing in the bureau, NBC News said Friday. He was 58.

In Memory of Maria

By ⋅ May 26, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

By now you’ve probably all heard, Maria Chapman, the 5-year-old adopted daughter of singer Steven Curtis Chapman, was stuck and killed by an SUV being driven by an older teenage brother. Words cannot express how difficult this time will be for the family, and what they will be remembering this memorial day.

Sadaam Hussein’s Eternal Home

In case you haven’t heard, Sadaam Hussein died December 29, 2006. The political blogs are swirling. Michelle Malkin talks about some interviews done of Fox News. Say Anything has a link to the video on the Drudge Report. The BBC has the account from the Iraq State TV– which didn’t show the actual hanging, but [...]

What to Say When Someone Dies

By ⋅ August 15, 2006 ⋅ 16 comments

This is a tough topic for many reasons. If you’ve never lost someone close (as I had not until this past February), it’s hard to empathize with someone who has lost their loved one. For one thing, you feel like anything that you say is never enough to quench the grief– and yet that’s what [...]

Reagan Remembered

By ⋅ June 16, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment

What do I remember about Ronald Reagan the President?  Not much.  I was 4 when he first was elected to office.  I can remember being told he liked jelly beans.  I can remember watching the election returns in ’84 when he beat Mondale with almost all of the states and how good that felt because [...]

The Passion Review

By ⋅ March 15, 2004 ⋅ 5 comments

Well, I saw the passion this past Friday. Here are some random thoughts: Is the Devil really a woman? That was the first time I thought of Jesus being roughed up on the way to trial. What was up with the kids that turned into evil beings chasing Judas? and the evil looking child the [...]

Precious Saints

By ⋅ March 4, 2004 ⋅ Post a comment

I was told that last night a member of my church went home to be with the Lord.  He’d been fighting a physical problem for a while, and now he’s liberated and enjoying the presence of the saints. It’s a hard thing for we that are left.  The man was well known in the church [...]
