e-note to LCC
Dear Friends,
This past week was an awesome week for the testimony for LCCers being God’s love with skin. I think the final total was 47 who showed up eager to serve at an elderly widow’s house in Euless to work hard for hours building, painting, and over a huge construction dumpster full of [...]

Do you find it harder to forgive some people than others? There are the remorseful who obviously are sorry for whatever pain they have caused you. For the most part these folks are the easiest to forgive…. Maybe easy is not the right word. I guess it depends on the offense. Maybe in your mind you [...]

Dear Friends,
St. Francis of Assisi is credited with saying, “Preach the Gospel always, and when necessary use words.” I am not sure who said, “People don’t care how much you know, till they know how much you care.”, but it is true when it comes to sharing the Good News of Christ and [...]

I have several weddings coming up this summer that I will be officiating. During pre-marital counseling and even in the ceremony itself I stress the fact that opposites attract. I believe it is part of God’s plan. We each have our own set of strengths and weaknesses and we are attracted to a person who will compliment those [...]

Father’s day is coming up on June 15. I think in the Christian World we tend to spend a lot of time beating up on fathers for working too much, for insensitivity and for just overall not taking the important responsibility of being a fathers or husbands seriously. There are a lot of good fathers around. [...]

Dear Friends,
I know there is a lot going on this time of year between kids sports, school ending, graduations happening, vacations coming, weddings planning, and summer cranking up.

It is pretty easy to get caught up in looking at ourselves and being proud of the changes we have made in ourselves as Christian. We study the Word of God, we go to church, we serve others when it feels right. You notice I wrote “proud of the changes”. It is easy to get [...]

The new Chronicles of Narnia movie from the Prince Caspian book is out. I might get to get lose to see this one in the next couple of weeks. Chattaway at www.christianitytoday.com gave it 2.5 out of 4 stars and www.pluggedinonline.com says, “Old-fashioned heroes. That’s what makes Prince Caspian tick. Chivalry. Loyalty. Honor. Duty. Morality. Faith.”
