GOD AND GRANDMA
Two boys were spending the night at Grandma's house. At bedtime, the two boys were saying their prayers when the youngest one began praying at the top of his lungs: "I PRAY FOR A THOMAS THE TRAIN SET! I PRAY FOR AN ELECTRIC SCOOTER! I PRAY FOR A NEW SPIDERMAN ACTION FIGURE!!!"

"GOD KNOWS"
I am reminded of that wonderful line in Archibald MacLeish’s J.B., the Broadway version of the Book of Job as told in verse. Before the great businessman, the J.B. of the play’s title is brought down by the desperate circumstances recounted in the first two chapters of Job, one of

STRUGGLING WITH GOD
Just because God calls us or permits us to do something, it doesn't mean that we can afford to be complacent about it. Jacob’s return to the land of the promise was risky. If Jacob didn’t learn to be a little less conniving and little less arrogant, the old sibling feud would

QUESTIONS FOR GOD
I came across some post-it notes that contain brief notes that kids wrote to God. Here are a few funny ones…
Dear God, I went to this wedding and they kissed in church. Is that OK?
Dear God, I think about you sometimes even when I’m not praying.
God, thank you for the baby

THE GOD SQUAD
This week, we finished remodeling our old house and started moving into our new house. But last Monday I threw my back out while working on the house. I was frustrated and hurting. But the pain was not as bad as the feeling of not being able to finish my tasks which what I wanted to

IS GOD IN RESIDENCE?
I once saw a poster of a valentine-shaped heart with a castle on top of it. There was a flag with a slogan, oversized and coming out of the top of the castle. The slogan read: "Joy is the banner flown from the heart when the King is in residence."
Well, stupid me, I didn’t

DANCING WITH GOD
One of my very favorite stories is told by Gertrud Mueller Nelson in To Dance with God: Family Ritual and Community Celebration. It’s the first thing she says at the beginning of Chapter 1:
"Some years ago, I spent an afternoon caught up in a piece of sewing I was doing. The

Several years ago, John MacArthur had the opportunity to spend several days traveling with the well-known gospel musicians, Bill and Gloria Gaither. At one point, he asked Bill what, in his estimation, were the greatest Christian lyrics ever written, aside from the inspired Psalms. Without

Here is a wee question, is struggling with God a bad thing? Where is a person's character developed? Did the saints of God become saints before or without struggling with God, without responding to those things in the scriptures or the words of Jesus that offended them, before they repented of

Once upon a time long ago,
you had to turn on the TV set well before your show started
so there would be time enough for the tubes to warm up.
I see people today pacing impatiently, even a little upset
that the microwave popcorn is taking so long.
Or do you ever tap your fingers impatiently

I want to begin this morning with a clip from the movie, Cheaper by the Dozen.
In this movie Coach Tom (played by Steve Martin) and his wife Kate (Bonnie Hart) have twelve kids. They are doing fine until opportunity knocks—an opportunity for Tom to pursue his dream of coaching a successful Top

I came across a paragraph by an 85 year old woman that I think is a classic. Here is what she wrote, "If you live to be 75 years old you will live over 657,000 hours." Did you know that? That’s almost 2/3rds of a million hours that you’re going to live. That’s too much to be anxious about all
