The One Great Sermon That Got Away

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 | Art and Entertainment |

Most people don't realize ministers are obligated to prepare and preach one great sermon in their career. In looking over my record of sermons, I noticed many "good" sermons, but an obvious lack in the list of a single "great" sermon. Perusing my list brought back some marvelous memories. I smiled as I remembered each sermon and where I preached it. Of course, I'm at that stage of life where the old memory juices don't flow as deep as they once did. Occasionally, I ran across the odd sermon ...

Finally, I donated it to the local junkyard and put it out of my misery. At the time, a woman who attended our church lived four blocks away but insisted I pick her up for church each ...

These were powdered forms of what is referred to as the "Lost Crops of the Incas"--a purple corn extract, Aji Amarillo Powder, and Camu Camu. We especially enjoyed the spicy hot Aji Amarillo powder. With its lightly sour, warming taste, it has been fabulous on brown rice, and eggs. The Camu Camu is also slightly sour, but also slightly sweet, and seems to give bring out ...

Taking Back Your Power in Health Care

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009 | Spirituality |

I was dismayed because I had just come across a book about a 'medicineless hospital' in China that has been effecting miracle cures ...
