Thoughts on My Past Super Religious Years – Grant Corriveau
Grant Corriveau
I was just reading a fascinating article about a Muslim astronaut who spent the entire month of Ramadan while in orbit on the International Space Station. Since those who observe Ramadan time their fasts and prayers by the sun, what does one do in space. He explained that fasting from sunrise to sunset is not necessary if one is traveling (orbiting the earth in space would count as “travel”) but nonetheless he observed some fasts while in orbit. The details and religious restrictions and regulations of which he spoke reminded me of my own attempts to be religious when I adhered to an ultra-old-testament-church sect ...
Night Flight – Grant Corriveau
Watching the beauty of the night sky unfold before him, a pilot marvels at the grandeur of God's creation and the love that created it.
We climb northwest from ORD, and as we leave 10,000 feet the first officer begins slowly turning our Airbus A320 towards Montreal. Below, in the soft darkness of early evening, the lights of Chicago slide by. I take advantage of a quiet moment in my duties to enjoy the view of the western horizon. "Hey Dave, look over here.” I call my first officer's attention to what I’m seeing out my window. Because we’re climbing out of the earth's shadow, the sun appears to be rising. "Now we can honestly claim that ...
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
April 06, 2023 - Quote for the Day:
“… the desire to ‘prove’ the resurrection to be true often causes many to become so focused on the details that they miss the big picture… Proofs are not the foundation of our faith. Jesus alone is the foundation of our faith. The gospel is not about intellectual assent to historically proven details…
In the ‘resurrection chapter’ (1 Corinthians 15), Paul does not attempt to ‘prove’ the resurrection of Jesus, but he assumes the resurrection as fact. He simply states that Jesus is risen, and he calls the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus the gospel – that ...

Life in the Pigpen – Bill Soinski
Life in the pigpen was great for the little piglet. The sow kept him well fed during the day and he would snuggle up to her during the night to keep nice and warm. And then there was the mud! What more could a piglet ask for? It was squishy and gooey and he would roll around in it to make him cool and comfortable in the noonday sun. The piglet felt like there was nothing else he would ever need in life.
Then one day he heard a voice calling from beyond the pen. He knew there had to be something else outside the pen but never gave it much thought. After all, what else did he need that wasn’t already in his life? But that faint voice kept ...
Grieving Nels by Stuart Segall
Some of my earliest memories as a child of being fearful of death. All my mother could do was giggle a little to have such a young 4-year-old so afraid. She tried to comfort me, as she knew how, as a young Jewish mother who had no real spiritual life or belief.
When I was about 6, my parents were having our small home in Miami professionally painted. An old gentleman with silver hair and circle wire rim glasses pulled up to the house. He was the painter and his name was Nels. Nels took out his tools and painter’s cloth and prepped the home.
He asked me to be his assistant and I was thrilled. After a few days of ...
