Bring Out the Caps and Gowns!
Bring Out the Caps and Gowns! For many of our young people graduation in 2020 is quite different than earlier years. A normal graduation comes with all the associated pomp and circumstance but this year no cap or gown will be worn to march before teachers, family, friends, and fellow graduates. With that in mind I’d like to share with you something I came across on the Internet: The Legend of the Cap and Gown. Long ago, in ancient Greece,…
Conflict, Why Me?
Pastor Michael Keeton May 19, 2020 First, let me explain where conflict comes from in our life. Conflict always begins from unmet desires in our hearts. When we feel we cannot be satisfied unless we have something we want or think we need, the desire turns into a demand. If someone fails to meet that desire, we condemn him or her in our heart and fight to get our way. So, in general, conflict arises when desires grow into demands…
What is Love?
In the movie, “A Night at the Roxbury,” one of the songs played is, “What Is Love?” written by Haddaway in 1993. That is a question most of us ask and try to find an answer to during our life. What is Love? As Americans we love the USA, we love baseball, hotdogs and apple pie. We love our husbands, wives, children, grandchildren and friends. In the English language we use only one word to describe all our loves and…

I looked up the state of Pennsylvania and found that there is a special cleaning ordinance that bans housewives from hiding dirt and dust under a rug in a dwelling. In Ohio, the…
I am So Tired, I Quit!
I am so Tired, I Quit! Pastor Michael Keeton April 29, 2020 I have had it! I can’t stand it any more! I have tried and tried without success. I just want to quit! Have you ever said this statement or heard one of your children say it? We all get tired of our effort being put in to accomplish something without success or reward. There is that point where physical and emotional fatigue sets in and there is the…
Do Signs Make a Difference?
Do Signs make a difference? Pastor Michael Keeton April 22, 2020 We that ride motorcycles are fully aware when cars do not pay attention to signs. We see and hear of cars that run stop signs, red lights, and don’t yield or change lanes without looking or signaling. The result can be deadly to a motorcyclist. That is why, when I ride, my attitude is that everyone is totally clueless and totally unaware or maybe even unconcerned with me. So…
