Panic settled upon me after hearing how driven the state of Kansas has become in its effort to lure, entice, kidnap the KC Chiefs across state lines. Wouldn’t that be a federal offense? The same sense of panic sat in when Jackson County failed to renew the tax for the KC Royals in April. Why panic? I

During the past few months, I have had the honor of officiating at two funerals, and yesterday I attended a third funeral. There is one resounding principle that keeps ringing in my ears: the greatest gift ever is love. Yesterday’s funeral was for a member of my church family of 28 years. I came to this community to

Think about this: opening those hard plastic packages. Enough is enough. When a posting on Facebook is a cry for help to open those hard plastic, vacuumed-sealed packages, it is time to re-evaluate how companies package their products. Look at companies that choose to eliminate excessive packaging. Consumers are relieved when they get the product

The snow started here in Warrensburg at 6:15 am. The radar keeps showing the snow creeping more and more north. I have to admit that I feel like a kid. I came home yesterday thinking it was worse to risk driving on ice than going out and restocking the shelves when I could easily manage

We are no where near the Northeast and their record for snow this winter, but here we go again. Today is one filled with anticipation. The mist is icing, the roads treated, the parking lots icy, and the text alert came–school is letting out early due to the weather conditions. As a teacher, snow days

Recently the news surfaced in our community that someone had killed three deer: a buck, a doe, and a fawn. This is at least two months after deer season and was just simply unnecessary. As if that was not enough, someone took one of them and left it on top of a college student’s truck

given on Sunday, January 30, 2011 after a two week break The last few weeks provided this brain to shut down and then reboot, in the language of today’s technology. The brain is rebooted, but it still lacks something. When we last met together, I challenged each of you to “dare to dream.” You had

given on Sunday, January 9, 2010 “If you aren’t dreaming, you must be dead.” Those words are just driving me nuts. Max shared this saying with me after last week’s service, and those words have just boiled up in my mind all week long—I knew they had to be used this week. The question was

given on Sunday, January 2, 2010 Maybe you thought the next question would be “fork or spoon?” or “oil or cream?” but it is a new year and the questions start swarming around us as we look at the past and look at the future. At this moment we are right here in the present,

given on Sunday, December 26, 2010 The Christmas cards keep coming in the mail. There is one set, though, that I have to admit are not—my own cards. There they are, all sitting on the desk. I usually write a family letter to update all the family and friends of the year’s news, but it

given on Sunday, December 19, 2010 What If? 18-19 The birth of Jesus took place like this. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. Before they came to the marriage bed, Joseph discovered she was pregnant. (It was by the Holy Spirit, but he didn’t know that.) Joseph, chagrined but noble, determined

given on Sunday, December 12, 2010 Main idea: Even John had doubts who Jesus was. Questions: What doubts do we have about Jesus even today? How do we handle our own doubts about Jesus?
