Recent Thoughts

So here’s what I have been thinking about recently.

I had a great weekend at the “Emmaus Walk” and highly recommend it to any of you who seek to deepen your faith in God and receive encouragement in your walk with Christ.

I see where Dr. Kevorkian has died at the age of 83. He assisted in suicides for almost 100 people and struggled anxiously with his own death - something telling in that. And Gary Carter, former Mets catcher, has been diagnosed with brain cancer and will work aggressively with the medical profession for treatment.

I would love to see us as a church community place a billboard sign up on the Main Road with a message about saving babies’ lives, making alternatives possible for those in crisis….(something written boldly and sensitively).

And finally...the other day I learned something I had never known before. The origin of 'good bye' comes from the old English that was shortened from the original 'God be with ye'. So next time you say good bye, take seriously that you are really praying for that person. See, God is involved in all aspects of our lives. Now let's see if the Madeline O'Hare people can get rid of "good bye" from the English language. NOT!

Yours in Christ,
George
