We all know what B.S. is, right? I’m not talking about a degree you get from a university, but rather the recycled food products from the backside of a bull that helps our gardens and vegetables grow.
B.S. is also a slang term to describe something that is untrue, false, deceptive…an outright lie.
For example, if I were to tell you I had some great news to share, you’d probably get excited for me. If I then told you that…..
Epic.
There is no other word to describe this past weekend’s NFL Divisional Playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys. I was fortunate to be able to watch the game with a group of Christian friends from my church. The atmosphere was electric at times (cheers, high-fives, a little un-choreographed dancing, etc.); at other times…..
In 2004, I was Executive Director at St. James Lutheran Church in Shawano. Most weeks I typed up an article for the weekend bulletin, including the weekend of 9/11 & 9/12 of that year. I saved a copy of that article and some of the things I wrote back then still hold true today.
Pastor Michael Schram (who was a pastor at St. James at that time) had shared the following e-mail with me entitled “Cute Story”:
Perhaps you’ve never thought about it before, but what if you only had 1,000 words left to speak before you die? What would you say, and to whom? That is the essentially the basis for a movie I recently watched entitled, “A Thousand Words.”
Jack McCall (Eddie Murphy) is a literary agent that cannot stop talking, or selling. He crosses paths with a self-help guru and tries to deceive him but the guru catches on to Jack’s ploy and turns…..
As a political conservative, I can’t believe I am about to type this next sentence…
Vice President Joe Biden was absolutely right.
But before I explain that statement, allow me to digress. As the title to this post states, my life ended two years ago on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 – the day God called my Mom, Lorraine Meyer, Home to Heaven.
Charlie Brown should have known what I’m about to tell you.
In “Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown,” a Peanuts cartoon from 1975, all Charlie Brown wants is just one Valentine’s Day card. That’s not too much to ask, is it? While he is hoping it is from the little red-haired girl he has a crush on, Charlie would be happy if 
Super Bowl Sunday is here! Depending on when you read this, the big game is either a few hours away, or you already know the outcome. If you are a fan of the Denver Broncos or Carolina Panthers, you have a certain level of excitement the rest of us don’t have (Packers fans will know this feeling again in 2017!). In August of each year, the players on thirty-two teams start the football season with the hopes of winning the…..
(Note: This was the letter I included with my Christmas cards this year)
GOD KNEW
“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” – Galations 4:4 ESV
Crazy and unexpected title for this year’s Christmas letter, right?
For me, this has been another year of “God Knew”. As…..
I was talking with a friend of mine at a Christmas party this week and she told me about a recent phone call she had from one of her clients. The customer was a little frantic about a mutual project they were working on. She let the customer go on for a while and get her feelings off her chest, and then she politely stopped her and said, “Hey Wendy*, I’ve got this. It will all be taken care of;…..
