If you are in the world long enough, you begin to see it as so temporary. And that’s a God thing. One day two daughters came into our church office with strength and purpose. They ushered in an aura of sweetness as they tenderly addressed the details of their mother’s memorial service. My heavens, we loved their Mom, Darlene. She was one of our Friday party girls who collated the Sunday bulletins every week for at least the last ten years that I knew her. There is no doubt she was one of God’s favorites. She was a saint...
Several years ago I went on a ride at Pacific Ocean Park that involved standing in a large circular “barrel” with our backs against the outer wall. After the “barrel” began to spin faster and faster the floor suddenly dropped out below us…but, of course, no one fell because the centrifugal force was holding us up. I have often thought of the “invisible forces” that are either pulling us apart or drawing us together. During a program called “Edge of Adventure” everyone was asked to describe the time in their lives when they w...

Do you know where your teenager is after school? Since early October, the answer for many parents is now “yes” and it is said with a smile in their voice.

Willow Glen residents say they were “trapped in their homes” when the narrow two-mile dirt road leading into the canyon where their homes are located was blocked by a trailer last weekend. The trailer that caused the traffic problem was being pulled out of the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve, which lies on the San Diego/Riverside county line between Fallbrook and Temecula. The reserve, established in 1962, is comprised of 4,344 acres that encompass a five-mile stretch of the Santa Margarita River, making it the lon...
