What Do You Got for Me Lord? | The Mid-Week Memo | November 20, 2024
As I walked along the Atlantic surf on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, my question was simple. What do you got for me Lord? I’ve done this on many occasions and eagerly expected an answer. He did not disappoint. If you think committing your life to following Christ is easy and mostly without angst, you’d be wrong. So many questions are left unanswered. Or so it seems. This was a question that I desperately needed to have Jesus answer. In 2019 God asked me to…

The OBX - Reclaimed for the Kingdom | The Mid-Week Memo | October 23, 2024
Last month, our dear friends invited us to join them during their vacation at a house they rented on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It was awesome. The weather was mixed, but the company was amazing. I had vacationed there as a kid and young adult for countless years. I also invested considerably in real estate up and down the OBX in the mid-to-late ’80s. It was a crazy time in real estate, but it was capped off by a recession brought on by a savings and loan…

Fellowship Through A Flood | The Mid-Week Memo | October 9, 2024
God has blessed Julia and me with a wonderful ocean front summer home in Sea Isle City, New Jersey. We love sunrise walks along the beach, the cool ocean breezes, and sharing this place with guests. However, being “down the shore” keeps us away from our church home. Determined not to “forsake the assembly of the saints,” we got up June 30 planning to attend services. I had located one of the seasonal seaside chapels that dot the coastline. It seemed…

In God? We Trust | The Mid-Week Memo | September 18, 2024
On Sunday our Pastor tackled a difficult subject. Here’s how he put it. Who do you trust? Another contentious election season is upon us, and there will be a flurry of ads, debates, signs, billboards, commercials, and non-stop news coverage. Some of us will retreat, while others will fight. Many will experience anxiety, stress, and even fear. It’s a topic we must discuss as the body of Christ. Should we dig in and express ourselves in a way that brings clarity…
