Date: 05/16/2013
One in 50 children are now diagnosed with autism (CDC). Right now, there are no definitive tests to tell whether a child will develop autism, but we know that the earlier we detect autism, the better we can serve a child. So how about detection at birth? A new study by Yale researchers and UC Davis' MIND Institute discovered a tool they can use to detect who is likely at risk when a child is ...

Partial payment
Date: 02/28/2013
Today I finished the final payment for a set of storage cabinets that I asked All Around Handyman and Lawn Service to do for me. They are beautiful enough to have in my home; but they are in the garage. When Matt began the work, I wasn't familiar with his work; and I wrote out the first partial-payment check with a bit of concern. Sure he had given me a great price and I really needed som ...

Much like a mountain climber who has no safety rope or pick, we inch our way through life fearing each move. There is challenge and fear because we know that one wrong move will plunge us to a certain death. Yet, there is little ...

Date: 02/06/2013
Remembering is a vital Christian discipline that is either ignored or taught in an off-handed, casual manner. Most of us know that routine thinking is defined by psychologists as remembering what happened in the past and rehearsing how we would change it if we could relive the event.

Remember
Date: 02/04/2013
Perhaps one of the greatest virtues and joys of a Christian is remembering. We often overlook the command that Jesus gave to us during the Lord’s Supper. He said, “Do this so you will remember me.” Time and time again in the Old and New Testaments we are instructed to remember. Many of the emotional and mental hardships we experience in our daily spiritual walk stem from neglecting this ...

Meeting a friend
Date: 01/31/2013
Tonight I had a pleasant surprise when I met a friend who is also a member of Special Gathering during my late afternoon walk. My friend, M.J. was meeting with her reading tutor in the park. Her tutor explained that they often take a walk in the park to help M.J. loosen up and prepare her for her next reading assignment. At the time I saw them, they weren’t walking but M.J. was reading out ...
