Just a Thought

For better or worse, sometimes I only have a single, unqualified thought. This seemed as good a place as any to drop off some shareable quotes, poetry and a nuisance idea for those who need a shot.

Our Sneaking Suspicion

Our Sneaking Suspicion - sermo humilis

It's a great question and my answer would be yes. No doubt about it. That man … [Read more...] about Our Sneaking Suspicion

When the Laughter Dies

16 May 2019 By David Trounce

The End of Joy - sermo humilis

The joy of the Lord is our strength; and laughter, as the wise man said, is the best medicine. This may go a long way to explaining why western culture has become so weak and sick. In his book, A Study of History, Historian Arnold Toynbee studied 28 great civilizations … [Read more...] about When the Laughter Dies

Broken Bread

Broken Bread - sermo humilis

There is an old saying that, "You become like the people you hang 'round." This is true, as far as it goes - which is usually downward. Holiness is not contagious. But Man, in his fallen state, can and will pollute what he touches. Throughout scripture, goodness is not the … [Read more...] about On Being Made Clean

Full of Grace and Truth

14 March 2019 By David Trounce

Grace and Truth - sermo humilis

What should the world see when it looks at us? It should see Jesus Christ. Not a list of man-made regulations under which to bury Him, and not something approximating Oprah at a rave party. Our actions and our speech are always pointing somewhere. Either we are saying and … [Read more...] about Full of Grace and Truth
