Hi everyone! It’s me, Liam, and guess who came to visit? Grammy and Grampy!!! They got on a big plane and came to see me! Mommy and daddy too, and my puppies Luke and Yoda. Mommy, daddy and I went to pick them up at the airport. I gave Grammy and Grampy a tour around…

Ever Wonder How Much Money We Waste?
I read a story from USA Today recently about how much money we waste every year. Obviously we all have to spend money on the essentials like food, clothing, mortgage or rent, and other living expenses, but have you ever stopped to think about how much money we waste on non-essential things?

Are You Addicted To Your Phone?
Some of us, maybe more than would like to admit, are addicted to our phones. You see it everywhere. Recently my wife and I traveled to Tampa to see the Red Sox play the Rays. While waiting for our flight home at the airport I happened to look around at the gate. First of all…

A Thought That Made Me Think

Photographs and Memories
One of my nieces came down from Vermont with her family for a visit this week. We had fun going to the beach, out for ice cream and we took them on a Harbor Cruise. If you’ve never done that it’s a great little tour of New Bedford Harbor that only takes about an hour.…

It’s August? Where Did Summer Go?
The calendar turned to August this week and I noticed some posts on social media from friends who don’t like this month. I guess I can see their point. When the children were younger, Priscilla and I used to plan our summer vacation for the last week before school began. We did that for a…

Finding Your Purpose…Again!
I filled in for our minister again recently. She was on vacation and I guess I did ok when I filled in back in March because I was asked back. In fact, I remember after I preached in March a friend in the congregation walked up to me afterward and said, “Well now you’ve done…

Pet Peeves: Everybody’s Got Some
It’s time for the annual blog about Pet Peeves! A statement that can bring about several responses including: -“I love these!” – “Let’s see if he mentions one of mine!” – “Not this again!” – “Ha! He can’t think of anything else to write about this week!” When I was doing a daily radio show…
