'Be Still and Know That I Am God'

Posted on December 29, 2020 in: ACA

Of the many Scripture passages that I love, I think my favorite is the one I have framed in my office which reads, “Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10). It is ironic because Psalm 46 was most probably written during a time of war. When God speaks, He is telling those caught up in the fight to realize that He is their refuge and strength. At a time when we are all concern...

One of my favorites, which I find to be particularly comforting in today’s world, is the Feast of the Guardian Angel on October 2. This feast day celebrates God’s loving care for each of us in the form of angels. How wonderful it is to be reminded during times of stress and concer...

As a young child, I remember my grandfather having a truck with two gas caps on it. I always wondered why this was so. Did the truck need a second fluid to run, was there something about the truck that made it special, or did it just need extra gas to function?  Puzzled after investigating this many times, I asked my Dad about my grandfather’s truck. He told me how in 1973, gasoline ...
