A Short Comment About Society

Societies ills might be found within every person who cannot love their neighbor as themselves. The more people hate the worse things get.

Congratulations Rev Deb!

My friend Debra just finished theological seminary. This means she is becoming a pastor in the United Methodist Church. She has completed a rigorous program consisting of courses in Bible study, theology and the hardest of them all Hebrew. We went to celebrate her graduation from Seminary with a party in her honor. Here is Debra with her cake. She got to eat it too.

A Short Ramble About Hope

Hope is a nice girl. Hope in a different way can break your heart. But its hope that helps you know you have a chance for the future. It is a very human thing to give up hope in times when you feel nothing you can do can change things. Everyone needs hope to sustain us. You are alive because you cling to hope for a better tomorrow. It’s all a part of being alive where you will feel pain but that is the price we all pay for love.
