On Sunday, Harvey Brown started our week off with a sometimes hilarious but certainly pointed observation of how we get in our own way, our best efforts notwithstanding. Downplaying his own personal wisdom, he nevertheless offers biblical wisdom to us. If we know anything about the Book of Esther, it’s how God’s providence works. Monday finds Bruce…
Wisdom is said to be the ability to learn from the mistakes/lives of others. The idea, of course, is to somehow avoid the pitfalls that overtake others. Yet, even armed with all the data, we too often succumb when we know better. Such is the case of our blogger today. Harvey Brown takes us on…
Now that we are immersed in our mid-week struggle to survive, Drew Smith offers us a way out of our hurly-burly lifestyle. Maybe we don’t have to change anything but our attitude. Take a look. https://energion.co/discuss/
Today, Allan Bevere gets the work week started with adjusting our focus from the mundane to the heavenly to gain God’s perspective on our world. We’ll try to maintain that godly perspective through the rest of the week. Now that our sleeves are rolled up, Bob LaRochelle suggests we dig deeply into the great offerings right…
Today Bruce Epperly shares with us his joys of being a grandparent, and how important this role is, not just for the grandchildren, but for grandparents, as well. If you are one, or probably will be one someday, you’ll appreciate his insights. Tuesday, Elgin Hushbeck looks at how stereotyping can become a breach of the…
We have more great posts to look forward to this week: Today, Allan Bevere calls our attention to the role the interpreter plays in interpreting a text. Tuesday, Bob LaRochelle asks us to consider serious study of denominations different from our own in order to broaden our own perspective and appreciate the differences. Wednesday, Drew…

See if you agree with him. https://energion.co/discuss/2016/03/16/whats-happened-to-easter/ https://energion.co/discuss/2016/03/16/whats-happened-to-easter/
MONDAY: In this political season, we are reminded of how different Christian values are from those of too many politicians. So different, in fact, that this often drives good people out of politics—like Allan Bevere. TUESDAY: “What’s happened to Easter?” Good question. In comparison to Christmas, Easter is hardly noticed. Bill Tuck wants to change…
Over the next three days, I look at the impasse in biblical interpretation and offer some of the reasons for it. It is painfully obvious that Christians continue to have strong disagreements that not only divide communities, but keep us from uniting before the world. Today’s post looks at the problem and the next two…
Today is World Hospice and Palliative Care Day. One of the most innovative and life-enhancing aspects of modern healthcare is the hospice movement. Jody Neufeld, a now-retired practitioner in providing hospice care as a Registered Nurse, looks over her career and shares some practical advice and wisdom for those of us (meaning most of us)…
