TheDiscipleMD A few years ago the focus of a church meeting was the hymns of our faith. It brought me to reflect upon my favorite hymn. My favorite hymn today is not my favorite hymn of yesteryear.

The DiscipleMD A number of years ago my three-and-a-half year old granddaughter asked me to put on “The Lion King”, so I did. Then she wanted me to watch it with her, which I also did. As I lay on the floor, she curled up next to me and laid her head on my shoulder […]

TheDiscipleMD All of us are familiar with the fictional element “Kryptonite” from the superhero mythos. Kryptonite is the “Achilles heel” of the invulnerable hero we call “Superman.” It is one of the few things that can kill him.

TheDisicpleMD We all remember playing team games as children. Whether in school or in pickup games around the neighborhood, you always wanted to be chosen first by the team captains. Being “chosen” early is something of an honor. No one wanted to be left standing alone as the last pick. What an insult! While being […]

TheDiscipleMD Many years ago, at a church basketball game, I planted myself just outside the three-point line. I was looking for a pass because I was open. A teammate saw me and fired the basketball over to me and I let it fly. Swish! A three-pointer! My teammates cheered me and made a big deal […]

TheDiscipleMD It seemed like every other day, one of us kids were breaking something, forgetting to turn off something, or not cleaning up behind ourself. When my Mom would inquire of us as to who was responsible, all of us would respond collectively or individually, “It wasn’t me!” My Mom would get frustrated and say, […]
