There are certain signs that Spring is just around the corner: The calendar has turned to March. Baseball is back; Spring training has begun. Flowers are peeking through the soil. Any snow that falls does not stay but melts quickly away. The weather is becoming warmer. The days are getting longer. The clocks will be […]
I don’t know why I watch the GOP debates. I guess it’s like watching a car wreck. I don’t want to look at it but curiosity gets the best of me. I just hope that nobody is seriously injured or has lost their life. In some ways, watching a car wreck is actually a […]
This week I will be preaching on the first miracle of Jesus, when He turned the water into wine. It is a fascinating miracle and an intriguing story. I find that with all the miracles of Christ. They are individualistic, fascinating and intriguing in their own way. I am not going to write about that first miracle, since I will be preaching […]

Wednesday was my mother’s 84th birthday. The gift we got her was “a taste of home.” I went to the Hungarian Meat Center in Passaic and bought a sampling of food including kolbász, horseradish mayonnaise, hot mustard, paprika, chocolate cherry liquors, zserbo cake, and gesztenyes. These are things that she remembers eating in her Hungarian […]
Last week our friend Brian went to the the emergency room at Hackensack Hospital after having some concerns regarding his vision and balance. While visiting with him there I was struck by not only the crowded emergency room at 11:30 at night but also the diversity of people who were waiting to be helped. There were […]
