“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.” (‭‭Psalm‬ ‭95:1-3‬) Gratitude is an interesting word that seems to have captured the attention of our culture.  One definition is “the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.” The question I would like to explore is: what is it in your life that produces a feeling of gratitude? Is it when someone is kind to you? Is it when your work, your situation, or your relationships are just exactly how…

This year of 2020 has been interesting in many ways, especially in the world-wide effect of a pesky virus.  We have become used to the fact that when we go somewhere outside of our homes, we need to be prepared for some kind of screening, and protection may be required before we are allowed entry into most places.   We need to follow rules like wearing masks, taking our temperatures, cleansing our hands, etc.  All these things are important safety measures that will help us to avoid being infected by or transmitting the COVID-19 virus. There is another infection that is a world-wide problem, it also requires us to practice precautions and to be screened before entering a certain destination.  This virus is extremely contagious and lethal to those who…

“In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.” (‭‭Job‬ ‭12:10) The air is clear now, thankfully the smoke has dissipated and we have the opportunity to enjoy the crisp air of autumn as it transforms our world with it’s stunning colors.  It’s such a beautiful time of year, as we harvest the abundance from the land and we prepare ourselves for the transition to winter quietness.  Right now the idea of breathing in the fresh air has been on my mind (and fortunately in my lungs)!  It seems the year of 2020 has been all about breathing, whether it’s “not” breathing in something bad like viruses and smoke, or symbolically breathing in good things like compassion, joy, and peace.   It’s not surprising…

Summer is winding down towards the cooler weather of fall, however, the fire season is in full flame, as we in the Treasure Valley experience the smoky results of the devastating fires that are burning around us, once again endangering property and lives.  This pattern seems to have turned into an annual event for late summer, yet we can be thankful that it is only the smoke we are dealing with and not the actual fires. Smoke is an interesting phenomenon and word, which in the English language we use to express a surprising variety of ideas.  Idioms such as the following ones are very familiar to us in our daily conversations: “There’s no smoke without fire” “Put that in your pipe and smoke it” “Go up in smoke” “Smoke…
