Daily Devotional
HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT ?
Today is called “Giving Tuesday,” and if you have an email address you’ve probably already been inundated with requests, promises and offers. No, this is NOT another one. The creators of Giving Tuesday call it a worldwide celebration of generosity. They intend Giving Tuesday as an opportunity for people around the world to come together … Read more
NOT HINTING
With the first Sunday of Advent yesterday’s memory we are now officially in the season of preparation for Christmas. Our celebration of Christmas is less than a month away. In the less spiritual days of my youth I would only focus upon the gift-giving aspects of Christmas. I had some understanding, of course, of the … Read more
HAPPY NEW YEAR
You may be thinking, “The Bishop’s off his rocker! Why would he be wishing someone a Happy New Year in NOVEMBER???” It is because there are more calendars than just our regular civil one. The regular civil calendar, of course, begins on January 1. And you may be aware that the Jews celebrate their new … Read more
OVERWHELMING VICTORY
We all face battles in our lives. As regular readers will know, I often begin these daily devotionals with an illustration designed to lay the groundwork for the points that follow.

If you buy any electronics item at Walmart stores in the United States, they will offer you a two-year warranty for an extra fee. I was recently buying an … Read more
DELIGHTED DAD
I love being a Dad. Physically. Spiritually. As I’ve shared in the past, I haven’t always been good at it. I think I’m getting better. (At least, I hope I’m getting better!!.) It is the kind of thing where you’re never there, you’ve never arrived; you’re just always working on getting better and better. It’s … Read more
WHO ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ??
Have you ever lost a child while you were shopping somewhere? It’s a scary experience. First you look around the area where you THINK they are supposed to be. If you don’t locate them, then you let someone from the store know what’s going on. That usually gets a good deal of help looking for … Read more
LEFTOVERS
When someone has prepared too much food and has some to put away and save for later, we call those food items “leftovers” in the United States. Leftovers can make a pretty good meal sometimes. Lasagna always seems to taste better the next day, for some reason. Potato salad as well. In fact, we’ve had … Read more
