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…..
Martina.
Sometimes one name is really all you need. And if you follow music, you know exactly who I’m talking about.
I have been a big fan of country music singer, Martina McBride, since she started her singing career. She has had quite a few hits that share a very important message. Her latest single is no exception.
Written to honor, support, and encourage our military members and their families, “We’ll Pick Up Where We Left Off”, is another great…..
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…..
I’m not sure how many of you will remember 1980, but that year holds special significance for the world. And it’s important to remember 1980 when you think about Easter.
You might think I’m talking about the following significant events from 1980: Ronald Reagan is elected President of the United States; the Prime Interest Rate hits 21.50%; Mount St. Helen’s volcano in Washington erupts; the “Miracle on Ice” where the United States hockey team defeats the “unbeatable” Soviet…..
I’ve always been a fan of the television show, “Friends” that aired from 1994 to 2004. Perhaps you were a fan, too. Allow me to tell you a little bit about the program. The 
show focused on six friends living in New York City: Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler, and…..
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…..
