The introductory paragraph of this website refers to a place I sometimes call The Zone. I know many of you have also experienced this other-worldly place of fellowship with our Lord because we’ve discussed our shared experiences. I also know that there are sometimes bumps in the road, those times when the human experience pulls us off that spiritual mountaintop.

It’s that time of year – time for proms, graduations, and high school or college reunions. It’s time for new beginnings, celebration, reflection, and remembrance. It’s a good time.

We only get one shot at life. There are no do-overs. Get it right or live to regret it.
When it comes to parenting, we need to get it right. Maybe more importantly, when it comes to our parents, we need to get it right.

We just returned from a wildly successful fishing trip to Kentucky Lake. Our success had nothing to do with the fishing; our catch was pretty meager. We succeeded in having an absolute blast with our children, and that’s as good as it gets.

There’s nothing sweeter than sharing worship with others from various denominations, walks of life or ethnic backgrounds. It’s sweet because it is a picture of heaven, a menagerie of humanity born and called to one purpose – to glorify God. I’ve experienced this diversity through Women of Faith conferences, participation in Billy Graham’s ministry, interdenominational Bible studies and in working briefly with Focus on the Family years ago.

A dear friend often says that her longing for heaven increases with each deposit made. She’s referring to the passing of her mother, then her father, into eternity and her desire to join them there. Knowing this dear friend’s love for our Lord, I know she will run to His feet long before she searches out her parents. But her increasing desire to “go home” for a family reunion is understandable.

No one likes it, correction that is. No one. It’s rarely ever welcome. It’s never comfortable. It grates against our (human) nature to be reminded that there is much outside our finite grasp of understanding. We want to believe that we’ve “arrived,” that we’ve lived long enough and been through enough to have all the answers. The truth is that no earth-dwelling beings can rely totally on their own understanding (Prov. 3:5). To do so is folly.

Every time the Super Bowl rolls around I am reminded of Super Bowl 2000. This classic match-up was between the Tennessee Titans and the St. Louis Rams. We were living in St. Louis at the time, so we were very much caught up in the excitement.

Nothing is more fascinating than people watching. I am absolutely intrigued by human behavior, and I am guessing you are too.

I remember receiving visitors at our home in Pennsylvania during the Christmas season. Our house was adorned with outdoor lighting, and, inside, we were decked out with a tree, garland and angels. The visitors were Jehovah’s Witness missionaries. Their mission was not only to convert our household to their faith philosophy, but also to convince us of the evils of celebrating Christmas.
