Pastor’s Ponderings: God Keeps Rolling Up His Sleeves! (February 2025)

Instead of frantically asking, “God where are You?”, we can find peace and hope in the truth that “even when I don’t see it, you’re working” (as it says in the song “Waymaker”). God’s always there. The question is not, Jesus where are you but rather, Jesus let me find you! Jesus has not left us and is working through the Holy Spirit everyday.

Service to Welcome the Longest Night (12/21/19)

December 21 marks the day of the Winter Solstice; the day when our part of the world is tilted as far away from the sun’s direct rays as it can get.  It’s the day with the least amount of sun; it’s the night that has the most amount of darkness.  For many of us, the loss of loved ones brings an emotional darkness into our lives.  The upcoming celebrations of Christmas viciously contrast with our inner pain of never to be repeated memories.  The light contrasts with the...

The Long and Winding Road (7/31/16)

Life is like a “Long and Winding Road.” We pass through a path of graduations, marriages, and births. But we also hit the valleys of job loss, divorce, and death. We long for something constant. On a winding mountain road, someone had been there before. The road is paved. Guardrails were installed. Someone keeps going through and maintains the road.

Is there someone like that in life? Are we traveling this road alone???

What Exactly Did Horton Hear? (7/17/16)

Dr. Seuss may have written a series of “Children’s Books,” but he usually packed a message that spoke to us too. In the immediate aftermath of World War 2, Dr. Seuss wrote a book expressing his personal challenge of accepting the Japanese as fellow humans instead of evil enemies.

In the divided atmosphere of today, how does this speak to us now? How can we listen and hear the cries of others? How can we be like Isaiah who said “Here am I. Send me.”??? How can we BE the answer???

Make Christ a Presence Among the Presents!

We’re  currently in the Advent season of 2015.  Much of the hustle and bustle of this season is driven by the need to give gifts.  Many of us are consumed with two fundamental questions: “What does ___ want?” “What do I want?” To answer these questions and to prepare for Christmas morning, we run around searching the Internet, ads, and malls.  We scratch our heads.  We think, “what did I give so and so last year?”  “Does she already have one of...
