Expectations
By: Steve Rusk
What exactly are expectations? Expectations are beliefs that are centered on the future. We all have expectations – for to many of us our expectations imply inevitable failure. This might be true of we put our faith in other people alone. Is it wrong to have faith that things in [...]
Follow Me – Follow Up
By: Steve Rusk
Earlier this year I wrote an article about Mocking birds that got in my warehouse. I explained that the garage doors were opened and the bird flew in and could not figure a way out. Eventually there were three birds in the warehouse but one lead another one out. The [...]
In Line
Willie Nelson sings in one of his songs, ”If I ever get to Heaven it won’t be because I tried”. That struck me kind of weird but partially true. I guess he was saying that it would be a miracle if he ever got to heaven because of the hard life he lived. But, in [...]
Being a Good Neighbor
I was going home from work the other day when I shifted into fifth gear in my standard truck and my clutch went to the floor. I was on the access road almost to the interstate, the traffic was heavy, and it had to be one of the hottest days of the summer. Frustrated and [...]
Styrofoam is the Cause

She opens her arms to [...]
Swine Flu Worries
I just spent 5 hours in the emergency room at our local hospital with a kidney stone. What will happen if we have a large outbreak of swine flu in our community? I saw the triage nurse first and he determined the seriousness of my condition. Their job is to process and prioritizing sick or [...]
Gathering in Grace
This past weekend a small group of men went on a retreat. Men for Others in Christ was a very rewarding experience for me as well as the other ten people of our group. The time was tight and it went so fast. We praised God, heard from lay people that had on their hearts [...]
Life. What it means to me.
This week, I got some bad news about one of my first cousins that was killed riding a motorcycle. He was about my age and when we were kids we often had adventures during the summer together. Life is so short and we need to be ready – No one knows the hour that we [...]
