    Here’s a question for you: When is sin a good thing?
    Recently, I heard a preacher say, “The greatest gift that God gives to the people he loves is their sin -- when they know it.”
    I’ll let you digest that for a minute.
    The preacher did NOT say that God thinks sin is good. Sin is what separates the creature from the Creator, the very thing that caused Jesus to die for us.
    No, the preacher said that our sin, when we know it and own it and hate it, is a gift, a gift from God.
    How can that be?

  • In God We Trust! Even on election day?

    What excitement there must have been in Israel when they finally got the King they wanted. Now they were like every other nation around … they had a leader.  
    And a great leader he was going to be.  
    He was a head taller than everyone else, an impressive man to lead them into the future.  
    It must have been a day of great hope and excitement.  And the great thing was, he was chosen by God through their greatest priest/prophet/judge … Samuel himself.

    By the time I left the newsroom I was ready to rip out my hair or stick a hot poker in my ears.
    All day the noise and commotion drove me to distraction -- and it had been a fairly quiet day. I was alone in the pod I share with two other reporters and my phone only rang once.
    You would think the quiet would be conducive to a productive day, but I could barely put two sentences together because of the noise and commotion coming from within, my whirlwind thoughts stirring up fears and anxieties I thought I had put to rest.

  • You are God’s Temple

      
    By Don Powell, Gideon’s

    Did you know that your body is the temple of God, and the Spirit of God dwells in you?  
    Did you know that Jesus loves you and wants only the best things in this life for you?  
    Did you know that God wants you to keep his temple clean and in good shape?

    Every few years I go home.
    Although home for me for the past 25 years has been here in Florida, “home” home is Southern California. My DNA is a combination Valley Girl and the OC.
    Last week I went home to attend my only, and therefore by default, favorite sister’s 40th wedding anniversary party.
    I missed her wedding 40 years ago when I was living in Maine and very, very pregnant with my daughter Alison, who also flew out to California from her home in Maryland, along with my favorite only granddaughter, Caroline.

    (Editor’s note: Nancy Kennedy is on vacation this week. This is one of her favorite past columns.)

    Today I did not go to Beall’s Outlet next to Publix in Inverness.
    That may not mean much to you, but to me it was a major big deal.
    Lately, I haven’t been able to stop at Publix without checking out the outlet. Even if I park far away I’ll say, “I need to walk more,” and head over to see what’s new at Beall’s.

  • A Kodak Moment With My Favorite Uncle

    I was 8 years old and visiting my favorite uncle in Charlotte, North Carolina. Uncle George had older twin daughters but no son. There is where I entered the scene. I was the nephew he loved to buy for and to spoil.
    On one particular visit we attended an exhibition baseball game featuring the 1954 Cincinnati Reds.
    Uncle George had a great idea. We would go early to maybe get some autographs. We did so and I received the autographs of Roy McMillian, Gus Bell, Wally Post, Ted Kluszewski, Joe Nuxhall, Johnny Temple and Reds manager, Jimmy Dykes.
