“There are more things to admire in men than to despise.” — Albert Camus
I believe that because I profess that all humanity was lifted up in the human nature of Jesus Christ when he ascended to the right hand of God — aside from that I don’t have much hope in human beings, nor in myself as a human being.
I am thinking about meeting students on Thursday and Friday, my first two official days of school, with my wheelchair. I think it will go okay, but I’m a bit nervous. Then I remember “when I am weak, I am strong” and I realize I’ll be okay.
Linn,
They’ll see you, not the chair…you’re going to do just fine…
I think the name “The Commons” is a good fit for this page…….
Michael, do you record your sermons? I would be interested in checking them out if possible.
Thanks for the encouragement, Michael!
Owen,
No, not in the traditional way.
I don’t preach sermons…I teach interactive studies through the Scriptures where the people can ask questions and comment…that doesn’t translate well to YouTube.
My mother-in-law died a little while ago in a nursing home. She was 93. She and my wife had a fraught relationship; I’m glad that she is not suffering anymore, but my wife is. Prayers please.
Robert F,
We’ll be praying…those are difficult moments.
Robert F,
Also lifting up you and your wife in prayer.
Robert F…praying.
Michael,
When using the Amazon link, it takes me to my account in the app. Should I see something in the cart or checkout page to indicate that there will be a benefit for PhxP?
CK,
It should look normal…it just records my id behind the scenes.
Thanks!
Great. Thanks Michael!
Just want to add a note to any other readers in Canada who want to use the Amazon link to support this site – the link takes you to Amazon.com, but if.you change the country (drop down at the top right ) you can then go shop on Amazon.ca and (to my knowledge ) Michael’s link is still active .
I order a fair bit on Amazon.ca at work, and I put Michael’s link in my Amazon bookmark, then just change country when the link opens .
