Old man?

02.26.21—The old year!--Shadows!--Job 30:31 My friend, may I ask you a question? Why does our society today tend to look at senior as old people, deserving little respect or honor for having coped and dealt with life for many decades? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner I got old so slowly I didn’t notice it much until recently.

Worry box?

02.24.21—Do Not Worry!--Luke 22:24 My friend, may I ask you a question? if we spend nearly all of our time worrying about the inconsequential, will we have time to focus on things of consequence? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M.

Just words?

02.23.21—Compassion’s Garden!--James 2:15-16 My friend, may I ask you a question? Do our actions speak loud? How do we show compassion? We can stop at words or let the words lead us into action? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner A number of years ago Holly and I converted one of our bedrooms into an exercise room. We moved in a weight bench, skier and stationary bike, put exercise charts up on the walls and installed a small TV so

Telling?

12.10.20— Just Believe!--John 11:25 My friend, may I ask you a question? If the certainty that God is the basis for all that exists is so firm, what should that do for our willingness to confess that belief to others? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner I recently read an article in a magazine about DNA. DNA is made up of enzymes that form the molecules that make the structure of DNA, the genetic building block of all life. The arti

Backward lives?

02.19..20—Purpose!—Philippians 2:2 My friend, may I ask you a question? Often we're so sure that we've got our lives put together right that we may fail to see the purpose we're missing? How do we fix that? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner I bought my first roof rake last year. For years I really couldn't see the need for pushing snow off my roof; that was until we had the record snowfall that we had. It wasn't long until the ice

Getting started?`

02.18.21—Heroes – Psalm 91:1-2 My friend, may I ask you a question? When it’s God pulling at the end of the line, however, how far we can really be expected to go? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner What does it mean to “give it your all?” We’re all familiar with the old adage, “going the extra mile;” but, when was the last time that you actually did that? For most, if not all of us, we may never have been tested that way. But, my

Seasoned?

02.17.21—My Love Is! – 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13 My friend, may I ask you a question? Some have suggested that is why Cupid is always seen as a blindfolded archer; humorous, but is there any truth underlying the humor? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner "Love is blind!" We've all heard that old adage. Put another way: "Love is blind–and when you get married you get your eyesight back." Some have suggested that is why Cupid is always s

Cracked pots?

02.16.21—Forgiveness!--Corinthians 1:26-31 My friend, may I ask you a question? Is it really God’s plan is for us to show love when little or none is shown in return? My friend, life’s a story, welcome to This Passing Day. I’m M. Clifford Brunner Although two wrongs may not make a right, sometimes one wrong does. I’m not saying that doing wrong is as good as doing right. However, as it’s always best to do the right thing, it also good to remember that our wrongs, in the right

Your canoe?

02.15.21—Rich Man/Poor Man!--James 4:4-6 My friend, may I ask you a question? How big is your life? Did you ever ask yourself that question?
