I’ve been struck by a very simple question found in Romans 9:21 – a simple question but with profound implications. “Does not the potter have the right?” In the illustration of the potter and the clay, the answer is clear. Yes, of course. The clay simply yields to the potter’s hands and becomes what the […]

These are unusual and challenging days for many of us. I understood “sheltering-in-place.” I understood what that meant. But “social-distancing” is much more of a challenge. For many of us, we’re just not sure of the rule, and they seem to vary from place-to-place, sometimes even from person-to-person. It’s against that backdrop that we find […]

Explanation or Excuse? It’s been 2 years (plus) since I’ve written a new blog. The last one was “There Goes That Cloud Again” which shared about our move from PA to a new ministry in Ohio. And that ministry is part of the reason why this blog has been ignored. I started the blog when […]
