I have seen miracles happen in many lives. I have seen prayers answered, people healed, lives changed, and in ways that cannot be explained by the medical or scientific world. I believe in miracles happening in our world today! I have also prayed for miracles, and they don’t always happen.

I have been reading about cars that will drive themselves, solar powered houses, instant choice entertainment, cures for incurable diseases, smart homes, and all the other amazing promises of the near future. They are even working on a tube you can get in and be transported at 700 miles an hour to your destination. It sounds fantastic. In light of all the changes I have seen in my short life, it seems very possible. I hope to live to see it.

At the end of February I turned 58 years old. At the end of June, I will have been a pastor at the Pendleton Church for 25 years. There comes a point in life when we realize we have more yesterdays than we will have tomorrows. I am at that point in life as your Pastor and as a person. When I lived on the side of life where I expected to have more tomorrows than yesterdays, I looked at the future as an adventure with years to come. Now I can see the end of the journey.

May is a month to catch up to life. Winter is finally gone, even the spring rains calm down and we can get to that “to do” list. May is a busy month. So much to do – am I forgetting something? Let’s see, work, school, chores, barbeques, baseball, the waterfront, walks on the bike trail…something’s missing.
