Home by Phil Last month Pam and I took a little trip to Maine to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. It was a wonderful, relaxing vacation with plenty of lighthouses for Pam and lobsters for me! I'm already wondering what I'll eat, I mean where we'll go for #36. We've spent many nights in various hotels and guest homes during our lives on the road. When I wake up at night (usually because I have to go to the bathroom), I'm not immediately sure where I am. I have to look around to jog my memory and remember the lay of the land (aka, where is the bathroom?). There is always a bit of stress involved in this location confusion, the amount being directly proportional to how much tea I drank the night before. For the first time ever, a few nights after we returned home I experienced this phenomenon again. There was a difference here though. When my brief confusion subsided I was flooded with a warm peace knowing I was home. (I didn't linger in that peaceful feeling for too long, or I would have been flooded by something else warm and not nearly so pleasing.) Once of these days I'll wake up and I won't be in my bed. In fact, I won't even be in this world any longer. I might have a moment of disorientation, but that will soon fade away to a peace deeper than any I've experienced in this life. I can only imagine the smile on my face when I realize... I'm Home. This Thanksgiving when we are thankful for family coming to visit our home, (and possibly more thankful when they return to their own homes), I'm going to say an extra prayer of thanks to the One who prepared a place that is waiting just for me. A place that will truly be, for all eternity... Home. Happy Thanksgiving, Click Here to Check our Concert Schedule! Check us out on Facebook! - http://www.facebook.com/PhilandPamMorgan |

Buy Once, Cry Once by Phil Growing up, my family never had a lot of money. I remember many trips to the outlet store for school clothes and grocery shopping at the day-old bakery. Many of our appliances were returns that were thrown away at Sears where my dad worked. He would bring them home, fix them up (I wish he had passed that talent down to me!) and they would last us for years. Don't get me wrong, we had everything we needed, just not a bunch of extras. That's where I learned to be...
Veteran's Day by Phil Tuesday, November 11 is (or was depending on when you read this) Veteran's Day. Around this time we often think of Jesus' words in John 15:13: "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends," with Jesus' sacrifice on the cross being the ultimate example of His love for us. But Veteran's Day is not just for those who gave their lives, that's Memorial Day. Veteran's Day is for all those who were willing to serve our country, to give their time...
And There It Goes... by Phil This week did not go according to my plans, which is why you are reading my Tuesday morning devotion on Wednesday afternoon. It all started Sunday when my phone started randomly turning off and restarting. I was reading the scripture in my Bible app along with the congregation, when all of a sudden, there it goes... blank screen followed by reboot, looking for wifi, and reopening app just as the scripture reading was finished. Throughout the day, the trend...
