Today I wanted to share a short video that I received in an e-mail from a Friend at church last Christmas.

Right where you're planted.

Several years ago now my cousin decided to put a little addition on the small barn at his place. Before he was able to do that though he needed to build up the ground around it since it sat right at the edge of a hill. So he had some clean fill brought in, mostly rocks, clay and dirt, but unknown to him amongst all of that was a tulip bulb. So as spring arrived and things began to grow again, up came a little yellow tulip, eye catchingly unique in its surroundings. It got me thinking, what if those of us who are followers of Jesus stood out as brilliantly, beautifully and uniquely as that little yellow tulip? In Matthew chapter 5 verses 14 through 16 Jesus says: You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in ...

Contentment ("Look at the birds of the air")

Here is a short, rhyming, true story from a few years ago based on Matthew chapter 6 verses 25 to 34 I've had moments in life, I'm sure you have to, when what I find myself in seems awfully tough to get through. Not long ago I got down and depressed, overwhelmed, worried, angry and stressed. With heavy heart and troubled mind, my concerns were many, of every kind. Concerns for my family, my kids, my wife. There needs and well being, the stuff of life. Concerns about work even plagued me that day, would there be much at all to next weeks pay. In search of much needed peace of mind, I went to a lake shore to pray and unwind. A duck came wandering down the beach, and passed by me within arms reach. She was a picture of peace, and seemed quite content. Eating and drinking, unconcerned as she went. And it reminded me as I watched her there, that Jesus said "look at the birds of the air". He always speaks truth, Jesus ...

We all like sheep...

My cousin Jim has a small hobby farm, it's one of my favorite places! Each spring for the past several years , he and I have tapped some of the maple trees on the property to make maple syrup. It's a lot of work, but (as a maple syrup fan), well worth the effort. Maple syrup isn't the only thing produced on Jim's farm though. Over the years he has had various types of livestock, just small amounts though. A few goats, a few cows and now a half dozen chickens and a small herd of sheep. The weather around our area has been relatively warm the past couple of weeks and the maple syrup season has come to an end for another year. So with last weekend being Easter and our church's Good Friday service scheduled for the evening, I took advantage of the nice weather, and day off work, and went up to Jim's place to take down the sap pails and pull the spiles from the trees. As I worked away on all that I kept noticing the sheep out in their pasture, and I was...
