The Will of God
For some reason, these four words scare us. But should they? If we believe God created everything, then when we hear a bird singing or see a flower push up through the soil, this is the will of God. Jesus said, about the birds, “Your heavenly Father feeds them.” Of the flowers, he says, “God…
My Life as a Mennonite
When I was young, I can’t say how old, really, I found a door. This door was at street level without a porch or anything. It went in to a Mennonite church. I began to go to this church. My parents did not question me on this. I remember that on your birthday, you would…
Explain God to Me
It seems the longer you know God, the less able you are to explain him. John wants us to be sure of three things about Jesus: That he existed since the beginning. He is co-equal with God. That he was a real flesh and blood human being. That’s clear enough. Much later, he says “God…
Your Destiny
What is your final destiny? Have you thought of this? Let’s start slow. What if you lived a thousand years? Leave out aging. What would you be like in 900 years. Would you be disillusioned? Would you be bored? Let’s say money was available to you to do as you pleased. Really think about it,…
Living a Lie
Is it possible that you are living a lie. Now, I don’t mean you are deceiving people around you. I mean that you are not living a true life. What do I mean by that? I mean that your life is lived in relation to a lie. That lie begins with a question about how…

Interviewing Adam
Me: We have Adam in the studio. The Adam. Adam: That’s right, Adam, The Adam. That’s me. Me: This is so cool. I have some questions! Adam: Yeah, sorry, I don’t do questions anymore. Me: Why not? Adam: Well, people didn’t like the answers for one thing. And, I mean, that was a real long…
The Interview
Me: Today, we have Adam on the show. The Adam. Adam: That’s right, Adam, The Adam. That’s me. Me: I have so many questions! Adam: Yeah, sorry, I don’t do questions anymore. Me: What? Why not? Adam: Well, people didn’t like the answers for one thing. And, I mean, that was a real long time…
Tower of Babel
When I was little, I was told a bible story. The Tower of Babel was built to reach heaven. The people thought they could reach heaven by building a tower very high. I read this story as an adult and found that their real reason had nothing to do with heaven. Nothing at all. The…
Treasure in Heaven
Matthew writes, “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will…
Your dedication and patience can be easily seen. Your dear wife, too. I wonder what her impression was of the comments made to me by one of your regular attendees. What was the most hurtful was that a flippant fashion statement had premeditation and evil beginnings. I spent a year very close to the fashion business and it has made me aware of choices made in apparel.
More to the point is that a small group should be small. Your Tuesday evening group has become rather large. Since I am a Johnny-come-lately, I think I should not add myself to your group. There seems to be others that need to attend more than me.
I am heartily in support of you and Dee. Another thing is that I have not spoken to anyone about what happened after the meeting two weeks ago and I do not intend to mention it to anyone.
