Table Manners
We’ve all been instructed in proper table manners at sometime in our lives. Even now, there are copious volumes of books on the subject, should we be interested in learning more. Yet, none of them have Jesus’ table manners mentioned. The reason? His are not about proper behavior; his are about character.
Lessons from the Locker Room
We can learn a lot from sports and athletics; whether we’re athletically inclined or not. The Bible is full of sports metaphors that help us understand how to better live a deeper spiritual life.

Traveling Light
Summer is a great time to lighten up. We all have too much stuff, baggage, in our lives that needs sorting. That stuff can be material, or time-consuming, or emotional. That means it’s time to sort the important things from the baggage. Jesus helps us with that by calling us to travel light, to join his advance team, and let go of the baggage. Luke 10:1-12, Psalm 30
No turning back, no turning back
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote in federal elections, we reflect upon what it means to face a personal turning point in the name of Jesus. Luke 9:51-62
