Also, I am sharing a message entitled: ”An Even Better Blessing!”
We will be looking at how followers of Jesus are blessed with the
ability to 1) Think Straight, 2) See Truth With Your Heart, and 3) a
Limber Mind…
Lizard Hike in the Verdugo Hills
Well, guess I could have stayed around home and watched basketball – which can be fun! However, I wanted to exercise and get out in God’s beautiful creation. This Lizard was sunning itself on a tree and greeting me on my hike in the Verdugo Hills. Brothers and Sisters God’s beautiful creation awaits you – you just need to get out there!

Health Care Reform – What I believe….
Many of my Republican friends are sad today, however, I have to confess that I am very happy. As someone who lost his health insurance in a divorce and then was denied coverage – I have empathy for the un-insured. I believe it is also a fact that unless we begin to reign in health care costs – any health plan will financially collapse.
I believe all of us are called upon to take greater responsibility for our own health – exercise, diet, good sleep, life affirming relationships with family and friends are all within our power. Faith, to me, is also indispensible in living a good life. Personally, as a Christian, this means a vital relationship with Jesus Christ. I wish you all a healthy, wonderful day on the good earth.
Peace,
Pastor John

Time and Space for Prayer
Now about eight days after these sayings Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Luke 9:28-29
William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia write we need to be about …”making time and space for prayer and reflection is crucial if we are to know who he is and where we are going with him.”
My morning hikes in the Verdugo Hills is one of the ways I make time for Jesus in my life. In what way will you make time for God today?
Peace,
Pastor John
