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.)

The ONE THING for today

An attempted Dairy Queen repeat

Posted on October 5, 2020 by pastorkemp • 2 Comments

My wife is an amazing woman. Last year, when her birthday came around, I asked her where she’d like me to take her for her birthday dinner and, much to my surprise, she said, “Dairy Queen.”  I would have taken her to the finest restaurant available, but Dairy Queen it was. We had a wonderful … Continue reading →

The Boss is asking, “What do you need to preserve?”

Posted on September 9, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

The ONE THING for Today: What do I need to preserve? Change for change’s sake must never be my goal. I shall resist the trendy and the populous opinion and preserve the transcendent and eternal. Moreover, I must identify that which is producing the greatest return towards the Mission and preserve it, fund it, and … Continue reading →

Tomorrow’s coming…

It is possible to become so focused on getting through the day that you fail to go towards the future. It can be either way… The decisions you make today can shape your future or… The vision you have of your tomorrow can shape the decisions you make today. There is a world of difference … Continue reading →

That Ship’s Left the Harbor

Posted on May 28, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Everything that has ever been done was done by the person who could and would do it at the time. Get over it. If they beat you to the punch… If they arrived at the party before you did… If they got the credit… If they got the rewards… Done’s done, that ship’s left the … Continue reading →

What does your future look like?

Posted on May 20, 2020 by pastorkemp • 2 Comments

There is a world of difference between the two questions: “What do I hope tomorrow looks like?” And… “What do I wish yesterday looked like?” Today is not the day to try to relive the past. Today is not the day to try to recoup lost things from the past. Today is not the day … Continue reading →

Don’t let the math determine your future.

Posted on April 17, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

You must not allow your present resources and abilities to determine your future. Your hopes and dreams and plans can be (and must be) larger than who you currently are and what you currently have. If you can add up all your abilities and resources and they are enough to make your dreams come true, … Continue reading →

What will life look like post COVID-19?

Posted on April 13, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

I remember going to bed on December 31, 1999 wondering if the world as I knew it would still exist the next morning. It did. I remember going to bed on September 11, 2001 wondering if the world as I knew it would still exist in the morning. It didn’t. When the dust settles on … Continue reading →

Toilet paper millionaires

Posted on March 27, 2020 by pastorkemp • 1 Comment

Where’s the toilet paper millionaires? Why didn’t someone corner the market and be ready for this? What about you? This time last month, did you load up on a year’s supply of toilet paper? No? Neither did I. You know why? We had no idea that in a few weeks we’d be dealing with a … Continue reading →

Trapped in a moment

Posted on March 26, 2020 by pastorkemp • 2 Comments

You are more than a moment. You are more than this moment. I was reminded of this recently when, in a sermon, I gave a brief review of some of the major events and ordeals that I had seen and lived through. Having been around for over six decades, the list was fairly extensive. My … Continue reading →

Done and done!

Posted on February 15, 2020 by pastorkemp • Leave a comment

Yesterday I reminded us to strive to be a part of something that is so big and so important that it will not be completed until long after we have departed this life. However, there is something to be said about finishing today. Hopefully, what you are doing is important, but that doesn’t mean you … Continue reading →
