Our country is currently engaged in two wars. Even when these wars end, however, it will only be a temporary suspension of hostilities, the best we can do in our sinfulness.

We had gone down that road of, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." So I decided that the next step should logically be: "You can't say anything at all to each other...or else."

The thing I remember most about Norm was that he was an incredible Christian gentleman. No, let me state that differently. Norm was an incredible Christian gentle man (two words). Now, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a ‘man’s man’ or a manly man...

Do Not Let Your Left Hand Know What Your Right Hand Is Doing

One Sunday night our team was bowling against Wif's, and Diane had a very good first game. The second game started out even better, but as she leaned over to pick up her ball from the ball return to start the third frame, Wif, who was sitting next to me at the scorer's table, asked me, "Does she always do that with her right hand when she releases the ball?" You know, of course, that he said it just loud enough for Diane to hear him.

Third Graders 9/5/08

Read more...
It's interesting some of the things we remember from long ago. I recall one afternoon in class at RF, a methods class before we went out student teaching, and I think it was Dr. Zimmer who told us that if he had his way, his preference would be to place the best teachers in his school in the lower elementary classes. The better the teacher, the lower in the grades he would place them. I was puzzled at first by what he said, but his explanation made sense and always stuck with me. I've often thought that Dr. Zimmer would have approved of my placement teaching 8th graders.

A Sunday off was somewhat rare for Dad. He appreciated his opportunity to worship on Sunday because it came only a few times during each seven week cycle (no midweek evening services back then). I’m ashamed to say this, but my dad may have appreciated Sunday more than I do. Have you ever had that feeling when going to church sometimes feels like...going to work?

Death Came Early
-
Read more...
Death came much closer this year, and he came early...on Labor Day. Early, also, because he came to an 8th grader. I prefer the way Lindsey's mom put it, "the angels carried Lindsey away to be with Jesus." But it was still "away" - and there lies the sting. God didn't create us to be "away" - to be separated, but through our own sinfulness we have separated ourselves from God. Thanks be to God that He did not allow that separation to remain but sent His Son, Jesus, to reconcile us, to bring us who were far away back to Himself.
