Morningside Devotionals

       There's always someone who knows it better, isn't there?  But sometimes you decide not to argue with them, don't you?  If you're that person, or know someone like that, then this may be your moment to meet a new writer that you can understand, maybe not agree with, but, understand.     That may be a bit freaky to you, maybe you've read some of my stuff before, and it just wasn't catching?  Too technical, too strange, too hard to get?  Most of the people who do read me say things like that, I just never listened- until- last year.  Last year was one of the weirdest for me, ever, not just because it was coming out of Covid- but also because it was watching the world come our of Covid as well.     We've changed, Covid did change us, we can continue to pretend it didn't, but most people sense that very few things, from the coffee shop to the store to shop, are the same.  Our outlook about how things happen, it has ...

When someone tells you to shut up,  they're saying three distinct things: 1.  Your opinion isn't one I want to hear. 2.  Your opinion isn't based on what I accept. 3.  My opinion is better so let me say it. There are more reasons, I'm sure you can add some, but...there's that enormous...but; always bear in mind- after we shut up-  we listen with different ears. In Seminary a lady missed class, all the folks knew she'd need the assignment, but everybody was slightly hesitant to volunteer to take it to  her.  She was the wife of the then chief of Police for the city...guess who finally got volunteered? I'll never, ever forget; going to the door with the papers and being greeted by this sweet lady...with two gigantic Rottweillers'.

Is it possible that we've caught up to ourselves in technology?  Are computers and computer information systems for small rural American communities becoming out of touch because we who contribute to the feeds from those small towns aren't getting savvy about it?  Consider that no matter where in the world a person is getting their feed, they still learn the same way? Because of it's size this may not work...but..we'll try...if you can see the model...it's circular and it begins and ends with a new situation...which...pretty much...you're in now...as you have questions... drd1201@gmail.com Back to Your God is too Small

What did James know that will help us? If you doubt Christianity as the wave of the future- you haven't seen the future as it may well end up being.  Here's a fact, juvenile crime is on the increase across the board in both rural and metropolitan areas.  Stop momentarily and consider what that fact might mean?  We used to cynically refer to prisons as the "School for the education of higher criminal activities." And we used to say that a rookie could go into that prison, and unfortunately come out knowing how not to get caught.  At least that's what they believed.  Now put those two facts together, that we have a failing system when it comes to crime isn't the fault of those charged to attempt to enforce the law, they share in the failure, as do the parents of young people who end up in crime, as do the communities which know of the crime and do nothing, each has a share in the failure.  The bench, the judge, the incarceration the enormous cost, they a...

What did James know that will help us There should be no doubt in a modern Christians belief and faith, and note, belief is held here separate from faith, you can believe in Christ, that's a mental event, yet have no faith, which is an exercise of all you are, based upon that belief.  Today's human is approximately 30% smarter overall than they were a century ago.  The average intelligence quotient is approximately 120 some slightly higher some slightly lower, but a century ago 100 was a good average.  Nearly all read, a century ago, very few did.  Nearly all know how to use some form of technology, a century ago that technology did not exist- in fact, for the most part wasn't even dreampt of yet.  What is about to happen, however, to Homo Sapiens, which is what we are, classification wise, whether you believe we are created or not, I happen to believe we are created, but I also believe it is totally possible to understand we are created and hold on to true ...

What did James know that will help us Once upon a time there was a Christian who felt that what was needed in the church was more members, felt it so acutely that this Christian decided they needed to go out and invite others to come to church.  It was at that point that this Christian began to hear about the church, things that were unbelievable, and, that this Christian had never known about.  That the church was ugly in the way it treated it's people, well, that certainly hadn't been this Christian's experience.  That the church was money hungry just wanting it's people's money, which this Christian found hard to believe since rarely did they go above a tithe?  They heard the church was prejudiced and only liked certain folks to attend and so they couldn't.  The Christian thought this was odd, because they'd been accepted, long hair and all, back in the day?  So finally they couldn't take the perplexing difference between what they had felt and e...
