This Week’s Reflection – Heaven on My Mind

Posted on 09. Oct, 2011 by in Dave's Blog, Reflections

For some reason I’ve been thinking about heaven this week. Perhaps it was because our last lesson in the Fellowship with God class on Monday was about eternal life with God and heaven. Maybe it was the powerful story of Colton Burpo and his vision of heaven that his dad talks about in the book, [...]

This Week’s Reflection – Quitting

Posted on 19. Sep, 2011 by in Dave's Blog, Reflections

Every time I get tired or frustrated or discouraged and decide to quit (yes, sorry to say, I frequently decide to quit) God sends someone that reminds me there are a lot of people who are desperate to meet Jesus and experience his love. It doesn’t seem to matter how obvious that is, or how [...]

This Week’s Reflection – Remembering

Posted on 11. Sep, 2011 by in Dave's Blog, Reflections

I had planned to write about something else for this week’s Reflection . . . maybe next week instead.  Each day this week at the anniversary grew closer, the significance grew in my mind.  I hadn’t intended to write about it, but today it feels like I have too.  It’s not that I don’t realize [...]

On a quick trip to Colorado this week, we just survived the “new enhanced security measures” at the Denver airport.  Actually, I was spared the “full body scan” treatment.  Maybe I should say the TSA agents were spared.  Anyhow all this talk about scanning, searching and frisking got me to thinking.  Isn’t it interesting that [...]

Through the Gospel’s in Thirty Days – Day 10 Matthew 12, Luke 12, John 12 Join me as I read through the Gospels in 30 Days  (or maybe 40 days) in preparation for Christmas. In today’s reading from John 12, Lazarus, a dear friend of Jesus has died.  A couple of verses in this story [...]

This Week’s Reflection – Paint Job

Posted on 22. Aug, 2010 by in Dave's Blog, Reflections

Last week, Heidi and I had the opportunity to meet up with our friends Mark and Glenda who had just returned from spending two months on a mission trip serving in Haiti. Living in oppressively hot makeshift tents, eating emergency rations, dealing with hurting, angry, frustrated and struggling people requires a sense of faith and [...]
