The ONE THING

The random ruminations of a man on the run. The goal is to run this race of life well, encouraging as many as I can along the way, and to eventually meet my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and thank Him for the trip. (I am also prone to shamelessly brag on my perfect grandchildren.)

A Christmas Meditation: Dying for the Best Christmas Yet

Posted on December 2, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

I don’t want to create an awkward moment here, but I’d like us to reflect a moment on death…more importantly, your death. A quotation I read this morning got me thinking along these lines…   “It is no mark of courage to speak lightly of dying.  There is a world of untold sensations crowded into … Continue reading →

A Peaceful Transfer of Power

Posted on November 30, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

Over the Thanksgiving holiday there was a peaceful transition of power at my dad’s home.  Let me explain… Anytime I am privileged to spend a day or two with my parents I will take dad out for a drive or a walk at one of the local parks.  There are not many decisions that need … Continue reading →

White-knuckled and terrified

Posted on November 23, 2020 by pastorkemp • 6 Comments

Ever find yourself sad without any apparent reason? I do. For example, the other day I found myself sad. I don’t know why, in particular. It was not a bad day and nothing specific was occurring that should have made me feel sad. Maybe it was the slow drain of trying to handle the constant … Continue reading →

8 Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning,For in You do I trust;Cause me to know the way in which I should walk,For I lift up my soul to You. _David, King and Psalmist of Israel (Psalm 143:8) There are some things that need to be postponed. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do them, just don’t … Continue reading →

Called to change dirty diapers?

Posted on November 18, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

I remember vividly the first dirty diaper I changed. It was not until I became a grandfather. That’s right, the first dirty diaper I changed was as a grandparent. I know, I should have helped Sonja with our own children, but back in the day, the demarcation between “men’s work” and “women’s work” was much … Continue reading →

Count the Stars…

Posted on November 16, 2020 by pastorkemp • 7 Comments

Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” _God to Abraham, (Genesis 15:15) Arguably, we are living in one of the most challenging and troublesome times of our lives. But we have a choice… We … Continue reading →

Shhh…

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” _God, (Psalm 46:10) Sometimes the best thing we can do is be still and show that we are not God. Sometimes the best thing to do is leave all the stuff that is above our … Continue reading →

Saturday Briefing: Thriving in a New Reality

Posted on November 7, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

The ONE THING: Life is never static; change is inevitable and every change changes reality.  Sometimes the change is so drastic that we find ourselves living in a new reality–there is no going back to how things were.  When that happens, those who adapt and adjust thrive, those who don’t are left behind.     Continue reading →

Time to forfend

Posted on November 4, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

I stumbled on the neatest website the other day. It’s called wordgenius.com, and it sends me a daily email with a “word of the day.” Many days I just quickly delete it and go on. But when I have a moment, I will usually take a look at the new word they are introducing. Recently … Continue reading →

Where success starts…

Posted on November 2, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

John 13:3 (NKJV) Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands…  ____________ Just think, Jesus knew that all things had been put into his hands. That is an amazing statement if your think about it. I think I can say with authority that all things have not been put into your … Continue reading →
