Mind Your Manners
|
When a month has five Tuesdays, I usually just consider than my day off. But I'm feeling especially generous this month, and last week's scripture paints a really funny picture... at least to my slightly warped mind... Mind Your Manners by Phil While you're out being Elijah ministering to your widow, make sure you mind your manners. Case in point: When he (Elijah) came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” “As surely as the LORD your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread--only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it-- and die.” Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. - 1 Kings 17:10-13 Aren't ladies and children supposed to be served first? That would be like me saying to Pam back when our kids were still at home, "Honey, why don't you cook up a little something for you and the girls, but first bring me a big iced tea and a sandwich." Come to think of it, I think I did say that once. Maybe that's why I do most of the cooking now... Click Here to Check our Concert Schedule!

Spectate or Participate? by Phil Part of my job as VP of our Woodworkers’ Guild is finding programs for our monthly meetings. A while back, one of our members mentioned he was building a beautiful workbench. I suggested he take photos along the way and share his process with us once it was finished. Last week, he invited me over to his shop to show me his latest progress. It is truly impressive! While I was there, he mentioned that I was the only person in the Guild he really knew; no one...
Jesus in Aisle Seven by Phil Hello, my name is Phil, and I am an extrovert. (Sounds like I’m at an Extroverts Anonymous meeting, but extroverts are anything but anonymous!) I don’t know a stranger—just friends I haven’t met yet. I can’t even go to Walmart without striking up at least five conversations with people I don't know. Why do I do this? Partly because I’m wired this way, but mostly to see the smiles I leave behind. It’s so much fun to see someone’s face light up when I compliment...
Oh, Baby! by Phil It may be hard to believe, but since I’ve become a grandpa, there are more than a few photos of my handsome grandson on my phone. For years, people have shown me pictures of their kids and grandkids, and I’m always quick to compliment. But let’s be honest, some of those youngun’s ain’t gonna win no beauty contests, ya know what I mean? That may be where the phrase, “a face only a mother could love” was born. In that way, Moms are a lot like God. “The Lord doesn’t see things...
