Traitors for Christ
Happy New Year! May 2023 be the best year ever for you and yours. Right or wrong, illogical or not, New Year’s Day is a good time to make resolutions. Yeah, maybe it is an excuse to procrastinate (e.g. Why didn’t you start doing X or Y months ago?) Maybe we are setting ourselves up…
Perhaps the three most important words in the Bible: “He has risen.” On this Easter, may you also be able say, “I have seen the Lord.” Happy Easter everyone. Know that you are loved by the One who the grave had no power over.
Facebook Recently, I stirred up a bit of controversy on Facebook with this post: I am a live and let live kind of guy (so I will support your freedom of religion), but the Bible does not have kind words for witchcraft, and for those practicing it, it’s at best a Monkey’s Paw (with eternal…
Beware of overconcern for money, or position, or glory. Someday you will meet a man who cares for none of these things. Then you will know how poor you are. The new year is here. Neil deGrass Tyson may be right and it “is a cosmically arbitrary event, carrying no Astronomical significance at all,” but…
I suspect I was not the only one to start off 2017 staying up way too late, but after about six hours of sleep I began the new year in one of the best ways possible. Reading Scripture. Many of us at the Strasburg Church of Christ are taking the blessed trek through all 66…
How Many? Just curious…how many New Year’s Days do you think there have been? [Wait for answers.] Personally, based on the Bible, I think it has been less than ten thousand. I know that seems to contradict the geological record and other scientific evidence of the age of the universe, but science also cannot explain…
It is past midnight here in Strasburg, Colorado…so we have crossed into Christmas Day. In a world where minute-by-minute (and overall) life can seem quite askew…Christmas reminds us of a Savior that came to set everything right. To bring peace on earth and goodwill to men. Merry Christmas and our love to all!
Whether it is the dogs laying on my legs, Augie getting super excited at seeing Pikachu during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, or you, my Facebook friend…I am reminded I have so much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, and may the Lord, who most deserves our thanks, bless you this…
New Year’s Resolutions We are 10 days into the new year…and here is hoping that it has started off great for everyone sitting here in front of me. I know the Lord continues to bless my family and me in 2016. How many of you made New Year’s resolutions? [Wait for hands to raise.] Anyone…
The stockings are emptied; the gifts are open. What remains is more important: time with loved ones. Perhaps the greatest gift the Lord gave us in 2015 is a new home in a new town. From the first day we visited Strasburg, Colorado, we have seen the beauty of its land and its people. That…
I seem to do this post later and later each holiday season…but I did start listening to Christmas music earlier in 2015! 🙂 Either way, here is my annual “Christmas Album ‘Must Haves.’” Year-to-year it doesn’t vary much, but I’ve added a few, reorganized a bit, and made sure the links are up-to-date. Also, everything…
Although this year has had its ups and downs (perhaps a bit more on the downs side)…God’s blessings keep the score so far in the positive I have no excuse but…on this Thanksgiving day…to be… Thankful. 🙂 I am thankful for my family (both biological and church), my employer (and those I work with), the…
Happy New Year everyone! I haven’t decided on my list of resolutions, but this post will fit two of them: To spend more time truly with my family To post more regularly on Traditores How it fulfills #2 is somewhat obvious :-), and it’ll meet #1 in that I am keeping it short and then I’m…
Last night I saw some posts on Facebook where people lamented they were having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit. I cannot claim to have that issue given, this year, I created a somewhat popular Christmas radio station and…of course!…have provided my yearly Christmas album must haves. 🙂 However, over the past day or so as I thought…
Another Thanksgiving has past, which means I can openly listen to Christmas music again! Time now for my yearly list of Christmas album “must haves”…which is alway last year’s with some tweaks. I mean, you don’t honestly expect my taste in Christmas music to change drastically year-to-year do you?! 🙂 Now…before I unveil this year’s…
