A Tiger in Your Tank
OK hang with me because this is going to be spiritual…trust me. But this morning I was laying in bed thinking about my day and my thoughts turned toward the golf match I watched this weekend on TV. It was a match-play championship and surprise of all surprises –Tiger Woods won! (Come on Phil M. – get with it). Anyway, there was a point in Saturday’s match where Tiger could have very easily...
MacBlog
And no I am not talking about some new item on the McDonald’s menu (ala: McRibs; McFlurry) but I am talking about my first blog on my new Apple Mac computer. This thing is really cool but like driving a sports car versus my PC SUV. So far I am lucky I have even made it into a program to type this out. But here I am, typing away and trying to figure out how I might save the document – let...
Kidpower...
Ok - I’m now five days into the week and still “numb” from some of the things Don Triplett shared at Bethany this past weekend. (there is a link coming for the message - just hang in there, or go to www.bethanywyckoff.org and check the messages/sermons section and the message for 2/17)
Anyway, when I was a teenager, the world changing movement was called...
Is Google the Anti-Christ?
Not so fast on the laugh my friend. After reading the story in this month’s edition of Laptop magazine; “Is Google Good or Evil?”, the writer shared some amazing and true things about this “information giant” that could contribute to the overall empire of the end-time tyrant called the anti-christ.
Now before you all start calling the church and complaining...

Your Cheatin’ Heart
It’s been a few weeks since I weighed in on all the cheating that seems to be going on in sports, and of course now in the last 24 hours Roger Clemens has appeared before Congress to “investigate” whether he cheated in baseball by taking performance enhancing drugs. And now on the same day we see Roger Goodell of the NFL appearing before Senator Spector about why he destroyed evidence that the...
“Staying in one place means certain death!”
– Mario Gonzales - and the Bourne Ultimatum
Pause buttons…
I enjoyed hearing the thoughts of my friend Pastor Mario Gonzales as he spoke today at Presbytery about “moving forward in the faith”. In other words, as the Apostle Paul said of his own life, we need to learn to continually “press on”… (Philippians 3 – “I press on toward the goal for which I am called heavenward in Christ Jesus) Mario helped us connect with the idea of “pressing on” by relating...
Homeless church - heart rearranging →
Heart - rearranging !
Having just returned from missions meetings in Florida I was amazed by all the reports about giving so we can see our world reached for the Lord before the end comes. I can tell you there is a real urgency in the hearts of most who attended. Many of the stories brought tears to my eyes and joy to my heart as we heard about all that God is doing. I had the honor of taking our worship pastor Chad...
Panama City musings…
Today is Super Tuesday and this election and political thing is not too thrilling. Watching some of the results come in and I just keep thinking to myself…are these guys (and gal) the best we can do in the United States of America? Where are the Abraham Lincolns or Teddy Roosevelts? To heck with where have you gone Joe Dimaggio – where are you Ronald Reagan?
It’s time to confess this is...
A “Gigantic” Win
How cool was the Giant victory, huh! Goes to show you what can happen if you only believe. Every sportscaster, gambler, and Monday morning quarterback counted the Giants out before the game was every played. And how about the dude who had already printed and taken orders for the Patriots book for their undefeated season…hah… how do you spell “fireplace fodder”. It was thrilling to see the...
Fear Factor
Most people remember the show Fear Factor where people did crazy things of course to win money. And it included everything from eating bugs to laying down in a container filled with worms…or other silly stuff.
Well I must admit it did make them face their fears even if the show was a bit over the top.
Well last Sunday in church I spoke on fear because it is something so many people...
