Big Wave Dave’s “Spin of the Day”  for Wednesday, February 17, 2010

The first day of the Lenten season has ended and yet another day has begun.  In reflecting on what I’ve read and contemplated on today, one series of verses in particular seems to strike home: 2Cr 4:6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to giveContinue reading “A New Beginning…”

As a Christian, I am often given an opportunity to learn more about myself through various seasons of the church year.  I know the Sundays of Advent before Christmas have always been a special time in anticipation of the celebration of the Christ Child.  Such is also the case as we approach the Lenten seasonContinue reading “Doing without during the time of Lent…”

In the process of going through some difficult times in life, I’ve learned that you have to keep a balance between what’s going on around you and your emotions.  There are times when, for no apparent reason, a darkness descends on your day, much like a black cloud that suddenly appears and follows your everyContinue reading “The Days that are Darkest…”

Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in all the hustle and bustle of life and forget to stop and smell the roses from time-to-time.  Of course for a lot of people those times are few and far between. I have a bit of time before I go to the radio station, so I thoughtContinue reading “Random Thoughts on a Random Day…”

There are several poems that I have read over the past several years that have struck a special place in my heart.  I thought it might be nice to share one or more of these with you to see if there is something you can gain from them as well. You are who you areContinue reading “Favorite “Life” Poems #2″
