A Father's Method

campsiteA loaded SUV pulled in to the only remaining campsite. Four children leapt from the vehicle and began feverishly unloading gear and setting up the tent. The boys rushed to gather firewood, while the girls and their mother set up the camp stove and cooking utensils.

A nearby camper marveled to the youngsters' father, "That, sir, is some display of teamwork."

The father replied, "I have a system; no one goes to the bathroom until the camp is set up."

Walk a Little Plainer Daddy

A father and small child silhouetted as they walk along a beach at sunset."Walk a little plainer daddy," said a little boy so frail,
"I'm following your footsteps and I don't want to fail.
Sometimes your steps are plain, sometimes they are hard to see;
So walk a little plainer Daddy, for you are leading me.

I know that once you walked this way many years ago;
What you did along the way I'd really like to know.
For sometimes when I'm tempted I don't know what to do
So walk a little plainer Daddy, for I must follow you.

Someday when I'm grown up, you are like I want to be;
Then I will have a little boy who will want to follow me.
And I want to lead him right, and help him to be true;
So walk a little plainer Daddy, for we must follow you."

The Art and Craftiness of Grandfatherhood

Recently, the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and Yours Truly were blessed with the arrival of our seventh grandchild. Jordan Nichole Papanu arrived on planet earth on February 13. The grandfather is doing fine, thank you, but there is some indication the grandmother has left planet earth.

Since the day of the birth, the grandmother has been conspicuous by her absence at our home. I, the only sane one in our house at the time (which is a radical change), was left to fend for myself. Even though this is our seventh round with grandchildren, you would think nobody ever had a grandchild before.

This only points out the fundamental difference between a grandmother and grandfather. When I first became a grandfather, I felt left out in the cold. It seemed to me that grandfathers got the short end of the stick when it came to . . .

Making the Most of Life

A slightly younger hand on top of older hands in a gesture of comfort.If I can throw a single ray of light across the darkened pathway of another;
If I can aid some soul to clearer sight of life and duty, and thus bless my brother;
If I can wipe from any human cheek a tear,
I shall not have lived my life in vain while here.

If I can guide some erring one to truth, inspire within his heart a sense of duty;
If I can plant within my soul of rosy youth a sense of right, a love of truth and beauty;
If I can teach one man that God and heaven are near,
I shall not then have lived in vain while here.

If from my mind I banish doubt and fear, and keep my life attuned to love and kindness;
If I can scatter light and hope and cheer, and help remove the curse of mental blindness;
If I can make more joy, more hope, less pain,
I shall not have lived and loved in vain.

If by life's roadside I can plant a tree, beneath whose shade some wearied head may rest,
Though I may never share its beauty, I shall yet be truly blest
Though no one knows my name, nor drops a flower upon my grave,
I shall not have lived in vain while here.

Crossing the Line

A tennis player throwing the ball in the air ready for a whopping serve.- photo by Susan PageYears ago, I wrote a devotional entitled Tennis Foul. In it, I shared how I love the game of tennis, both playing and watching. My son-in-law likes to tease me because he thinks watching a ball hit back and forth for hours on end is boring. Yet, he’s a Nascar nut… go figure!

In my last devotional on this subject, I shared how disappointed I was to see an episode of unsportsmanlike conduct by a player on the women’s circuit. Viewing this display gave me pause to think of my unforced errors in the game of life, so to speak.

Ten Reasons Why Men Should Join the Choir

choir conductor10. Rehearsals are every Wednesday night. This means that for those few hours, you will significantly reduce your risk of contracting tendonitis from nonstop operation of a television remote control or computer mouse.

9. Because you wear a choir robe every Sunday, you are liberated from a task many men find quite challenging: finding clothes that match properly.

8. From your special vantage point every Sunday, in which you look out at the entire congregation from the choir seats, you will develop interesting new hobbies. Among these is a little guessing game called "Who's Praying, Who's Sleeping?"

7. On the other hand, sitting in full view of 400-500 people on a weekly basis makes it much less likely that you yourself will give in to a chronic lack of sleep, although it has been known to happen.

6. If you think your singing in the shower sounds good now, just wait till you've been singing with us for a few weeks.

5. Singing in a choir is one of the few activities for men that does not require electronic equipment or expensive power tools. This could be good for the family budget.

4. For the fitness buffs, singing in the Choir is not only heart healthy, it's soul healthy. There are no monthly membership fees and it's a lot easier on the knees than jogging.

3. If you think you've done everything there is to do and there are no great challenges left in life, try singing with us and staying on pitch, guys.

2. Choir rehearsal lasts half as long as a professional football game, but is at least twice as satisfying. (Don't worry, though, the rehearsals are on Wednesday, not Monday Nights.)

1. When people ask you whether you've been behaving yourself, you can say with the utmost sincerity, "Hey, I'm a Choir Boy."

Quote #2365

A man sitting in a dark place with elbows on knees and hands covering his face.Grief isn't meant to be a cage - it's meant to be a door. A passage, not a prison. A bridge, not a wall. So, let the tears fall when they come. Let the laughter rise when memories bring warmth. And let sorrow and joy exist side by side, for they are not opposites - they are just love in different forms.

- Jameson Arasi



Laodicean Hymnal

An orange cat asleep with leg and tail dangling at the top of a temporary wall.Leaders of the Laodicean Church in Canada last week announced the publication of a new hymnal. "This is truly a hymnal for the new century," said Presiding Bishop Luke W. Armm.

"This collection of hymns really captures the essence of our tradition," Bishop Armm explained. "At the core of our belief is the motto, 'Moderation in all things,' and that applies to our faith life as well. We just don't like to get carried away."

When asked if the new hymnal will help the Laodicean Church attract new members, Bishop Armm replied, "People in today's society get kind of uncomfortable with too much talk about things like commitment and dedication. They'd much rather have a religion that they can turn on or off at will. Our church seeks to meet that need. This hymnal will help with that, I think."

Editor in chief of the new hymnal, Priscilla ("Presh") S. Moment, explained some of the difficulty the committee had in choosing hymns.

"Many of the old favourites just won't cut it among Laodiceans," said Moment. "We had to change a lot of the wording to make them fit with our style. We tried to incorporate some new songs into the book, but we had trouble finding Laodiceans interested in writing new music."

The title of the new hymnal, Church Songs, was chosen very carefully, explained Moment. "We didn't want to turn anybody off with threatening words that no one understands any more like 'Worship' or 'Hymn.'"

Here is a partial list of titles included in the new Laodicean hymnal:

A Comfy Swedish Mattress Is Our God
Above Average Is Thy Faithfulness
All Hail the Influence of Jesus' Name!
Amazing Grace, How Interesting the Sound
Be Thou My Hobby
Blest Be the Tie That Doesn't Cramp My Style
Go Tell it on the Speed Bump
He's Quite a Bit to Me
I Lay My Inappropriate Behaviours on Jesus
I Love to Talk about Telling the Story
I Surrender Some
I'm Fairly Certain That My Redeemer Lives
It Is My Secret What God Can Do
Joyful, Joyful, We Kinda Like Thee
Just as I Pretend to Be
Just as I Am, with Lots of Excuses
Lord, Keep Us Loosely Connected to Your Word
My Hope Is Built on Nothing Much
My Faith Looks Around for Thee
O, God, Our Enabler in Ages past
Oh, for a Couple of Tongues to Sing
Oh, How I like Jesus
Onward, Christian Reservists
Pillow of Ages, Fluffed for Me
Praise God from Whom All Affirmations Flow
Self-Esteem to the World! The Lord Is Come
Sit Up, Sit up for Jesus
Spirit of the Living God, Fall Somewhere near Me
Take My Life and Let Me Be
There Is Scattered Cloudiness in My Soul Today
There Shall Be Sprinkles of Blessings
We Are Milling Around in the Light of God
What an Acquaintance We Have in Jesus
When Peace, like a Trickle
When the Saints Go Drifting in
Where He Leads Me, I Will Consider Following

Money, Money, Money, Where’s all the Money?

Paper and coin money spread out on a white surface.I can’t keep count of all the phone calls informing me that I won millions of dollars and a brand-new Mercedes-Benz. All I have to do is send them $15,000 to cover the income tax and processing fee, and they will be able to send me millions of dollars.

I grew up in the Pennsylvania Dutch area, and I would be the last person to fall for that kind of scam. If I won money, why do I have to pay money?

veo3 voice testA big shout out and thank you to Pastor Jim S. (who lives in Northern Ireland) for raising a point about last week's "Drum Battle" video that I shared. In the news I commented the video made as made as much sense to me as churches beating their drums against each other, but as Jim pointed out some might think the video was about churches actually fighting with each other with the drums! To be clear, the video simply features some good old Irish lads having some fun (in a way that makes no sense to me, lol.)

Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.

Beautiful Yellow Flowers

A close up of buttercups with a dandelion gone to seed in focus in front.- photo by Susan PageMany years ago, when my daughter was in high school, we hosted a young girl from China. While walking through a field overrun with dandelions, the Chinese student commented on the beautiful yellow flowers strewn across our fields. It reminded me of the quote from James Russell Lowell: “A weed is no more than a flower in disguise.”

Once again, I am pondering the topic of perspective. I have shared thoughts on this topic before; however, having come through a difficult winter into the marvels of a new spring season, my mind continues to sort through what it means to have a godly perspective.

Quote #2363

A rocky, shadowy path through a dense forest.Do not look where you fell. Look where you slipped.

- African Proverb



This Is Good

Two words on a plain white background, bad and good.The story is told of a king in Africa who had a close friend with whom he grew up. The friend had a habit of looking at every situation that ever occurred in his life (positive or negative) and remarking, "This is good!"

One day the king and his friend were out on a hunting expedition. The friend would load and prepare the guns for the king. The friend had apparently done something wrong in preparing one of the guns, for after taking the gun from his friend, the king fired it and his thumb was blown off. Examining the situation the friend remarked as usual, "This is good!" To which the king replied, "No, this is NOT good!" and proceeded to send his friend to jail.

About a year later, the king was hunting in an area that he should have known to stay clear of. Cannibals captured him and took them to their village. They tied his hands, stacked some wood, set up a stake and bound him to the stake. As they came near to set fire to the wood, they noticed that the king was missing a thumb. Being superstitious, they never ate anyone that was less than whole. So untying the king, they sent him on his way.

As he returned home, he was reminded of the event that had taken his thumb and felt remorse for his treatment of his friend. He went immediately to the jail to speak with his friend. "You were right," he said, "it was good that my thumb was blown off." And he proceeded to tell the friend all that had just happened. "And so I am very sorry for sending you to jail for so long. It was bad for me to do this."

"No," his friend replied, "This is good!"

"What do you mean, 'This is good'? How could it be good that I sent my friend to jail for a year?"

"If I had NOT been in jail, I would have been with you."

Situations may not always seem pleasant while we are in them, but the promise of God is clear. If we love Him and live our lives according to His precepts, even that which seems to be bleak and hopeless will be turned by God for His glory and our benefit.

Hold on, God is faithful!
