Sunday Sermon

  God Who Is Isaiah 48:9 But for my own sake I will be patient. People will praise me for not becoming angry and destroying you. Humans need God in our lives and working in us. This is not said because we need God to save us from the punishment of our sin which our God does but because we as humans are lost without God. We are told that God breathes His spirit into us and that we are created in His image. How can we even image that we are not deeply connected to the God of creation? When we reject the God who created us we reject the very core of who we are. We need God just to exist with any degree of wisdom and direction for our lives. I don’t want to talk about being lost because we reject the source of life that is God and so end up in sin but I want to speak just about the basic process of living and how we need God in our lives every day if we are to make sense of life and to get through it. The fact is that we as humans were built to be servants of God. From this w...

   God Knows Isaiah 48:4 I knew you were stubborn; your neck was like an iron muscle, and your head was like bronze.     In Isaiah chapter forty five verse twenty-three God tells us that one day everyone will bow before God.  This is then repeated in Paul’s letter to the Romans in chapter fourteen verse eleven.  Often we take the authority of God as no more then mere suggestions and we can if we want take or leave what God has to say as we please.  I understand how this happens because God does not force Himself on us.  Over and over God warns us about sin and offers a different path but God never forces us to obey Him.  We can choose the destruction that sin brings and as much as it breaks God’s heart He will not stop us from making that choice.  But if we are serious about that fact that God is King of Kings then we need to know that bowing before God means we subject ourselves to God’s power and authority and we need to begin to live ...

  Feeling Safe Isaiah 47:10 You do evil things, but you feel safe and say, ‘No one sees what I do.’ Your wisdom and knowledge have fooled you. You say to yourself, ‘I am God, and no one is equal to me.’ Reading the Bible seems to always bring something new to me. I don’t know how many times I have read through First Corinthians but the last time I spent time in that book it impressed me of how much time the writer Paul spent on giving instruction about how to live as people of faith. What caught my attention was not the theological teaching that Paul did but the amount of instructions about everyday life that is found in this book. Most of the time we as people of faith are not concerned about the great theological questions about our faith but about how to live each day as followers of the living God. If our faith does not give us answers about how to get through the struggles of our day to day existence what good is our faith and what point is believing in the all-powerful...

Another Run a D-day

Image
  A few months ago I began thinking of a D-day scenario for the 29th infantry division. My first attempt did not work out well. The plan is to use Chain Of Command Wargame. But for this to work it was going to take some tweaking. After reading up I found that the Germans used fortification battalions. So my central platoon will be basically a heavy weapons platoon. The Americans needed a little help so I have added two dd-tanks. There is a chance they will not make it to shore but if they do they will really have an effect. The idea is to run this at some conventions when I get it right.

Chicken day 2025

Image
 A great day for processing chickens.  In our 3rd year of doing this we have learned a lot and we are getting better at it.  We added several new pieces of equipment and that make things work better.  But it also takes understanding on how to make everything work together.  We love growing and processing or own food.
