Supernatural Phenomenon
Do you believe in miracles? Are we not surrounded by them every day, or have we forgotten to appreciate—or perhaps taken for granted—the wonderful world in which we live? The abundance of food when so many are without; the morning beverage we desperately need to start our day; the unlimited supply of clothes to wear; the cars we drive, the medical aid available, and the water we drink…do we look at all these, and more, as miracles or have we become so complacent that little thought is...

Do you ever find yourself repeating a one-liner you’ve heard from a TV ad, or humming the tune or singing the words of a catchy commercial? I know I have, and at times it can be most annoying. It gets stuck in my cranial matter and follows me throughout the day. However, sometimes the one-liner, tune, or commercial turns out to be a winner.

Please indulge me for a moment with two thoughts centred around friends and friendship, and gardening. Thought # 1 In 1982 Jerry and Mary White, a godly couple who love the Bible and all that it represents wrote and published a book entitled, Friends and Friendship: The Secrets of Drawing Closer. Through 1986 to 2005, Jerry was International President of The Navigators in Colorado Springs, CO whose mission is, To know Christ, make Him known, and help others do the same. During my time...

In a recent conversation with some friends, I listened to a lady share how time seems to be moving too quickly. We understood her to mean years, but she extended her comment to include her waking hours, and we all nodded in understanding. Another lady pointed out that all too often her day seems to go by so quickly that before she knows it, it’s over and she’s accomplished very little. Still another remarked that as long as she keeps busy, she doesn’t mind when the day comes to an end;...
