Do the holidays ever seem to you like the hollow days? Well, they did for me many, many years ago when my young wife had died from cancer. Let me tell you, the holidays were tough. And when I was a chaplain for hospice we would often speak of the holidays as the hollow days...

It was during the Great Depression that John Niles was searching the back countries and hills of Appalachia. He was looking for original folk music, and one day he comes to this little white spot on the road known as Murphy, North Carolina, and happens on a band of rather ragged itinerant evangelists...

Well, Christmas is just around the corner. And just the other day, I was thinking about a large pre-COVID Christmas, you know, when we could all get together as a large family to celebrate, and a cousin who lives in a different state, she told me that she was sorry that she had never gotten to know my father. And you know, when she told me that she had never gotten to know my father, I was sad. I was sad because I really love my father.

What do you sense that God might be saying to you? I ask that because He is, after all, a God who speaks, a God who reveals Himself. We call Jesus the Word as it is God's very nature to want to speak, to want to reveal Himself to us. So I ask, what do you sense that God might be saying to you?

I'm really excited that this is Thanksgiving week and we're going to be with our kids and grandkids and we're going to be eating and we're going to be celebrating and then it's going to be Advent and Christmas and it can't come too soon for me as this has been kind of a crazy year with one train wreck after another and so it's really going to be good to have some days to celebrate. And in all of this I am reminded of a story that is told by Leo Buscaglia...

It has been said that a Puritan lives with the haunting fear that someone somewhere might be having a good time. Well, while I don't think that's exactly fair to the Puritans, it probably is fair to say that Christians can give the impression that we are against having a good time, but you know, Jesus seems to have left no one thinking that he was against a good time...

Are you experiencing a Christian life as rest? I know, for some people, rest is the last thing they think of when they think of being a Christian is for them, being a Christian is a lot of hard work, a lot of pressure, or a lot of trying hard, a lot of guilt. But you know, Jesus did promise anyone who would follow Him that He would give rest, and so I often like to ask myself if I am experiencing the rest that Jesus promises, because I haven't always experienced a Christian life, or ministry as a rest.

You must be a person hungry for God. I mean, I don't think he would be listening to the Selah podcast, but that you have a real hunger and thirst for God, you love God and are probably growing in your understanding of God's love for you. And yet as you were growing in your understanding of how wonderful God is, you are growing in your understanding of...

How are you picturing God today? I mean in your mind's eye, are you seeing God as smiling at you? Is God, is he frowning? That is does God look disappointed in you? Does God look like he's ticked off? Well, the reason why I'm asking is because how you and I picture God is just about the most important thing about us.
