The minimum lethal dose of botulism bacillus is .00003 micrograms per kilogram of body weight. That's like a mosquito derailing a 100-mile long freight train! It was an inexpensive O-ring that took down the Space Shuttle, Challenger. And you know how your whole body can be affected by a slight pain in a key area, such as a toe or heel.

My grandson was happily pushing his truck along our kitchen floor and I was enjoying watching him. He suddenly stopped, looked at the ground in front of him, and froze, with a concerned look on his face.

I was saddened to watch a YouTube video last night of an airplane crash that killed the pilot and his 3 passengers. It caught my eye because it was the same airplane I fly: Piper Lance.

A few years ago, Linda and I took our camper up north. It’s important to level the camper when parked at a campsite, or you’ll end up with all kinds of problems. I normally use a small but reliable level that I place on the floor. I had recently picked up a new one that was longer, larger and easier to read. But after leveling the camper, Linda and I went inside and we felt like we were walking uphill. I put the new level on the floor and the bubble was in the middle. I put m

Maybe you come from a tradition that practiced baptism differently than here at The Bridge. Maybe it's the one thing about our church that you’re not comfortable with. I get it. That used to be me.

Throughout college and seminary, I didn’t get a lot of sleep. I worked a lot, went to school, and served as a youth pastor on the weekends. In addition to some embarrassing episodes falling asleep in class, I had some precarious incidents while driving.

“It’s easier to keep going than to restart.” That’s all I could think of while huffing and puffing and sweating profusely. I was only two miles into a measly three mile run, and at a pace much slower than two months before. That was the problem. It had been two months since my last marathon, and I had not run even a block since.

I was just a young boy the first time I flew in an airplane. It was exciting to me. But when we hit turbulence and the plane started bopping up and down, my excitement morphed into fear. The next time my uncle offered to take me up, I wasn’t sure I wanted to go. My dad reassured me by explaining how the turbulence was simply varying low and high pressure air pockets and that it was perfectly normal. He said the plane was built to withstand far more, and my uncle and other pil
