I am a human being, spouse, parent, friend, pastor, and someone trying to strive toward a better-than-average mark in all those ways of existing because I believe Jesus tells me a story that I, alongside every other person, is loved beyond measure.

Prayer for the Week:
Walk with me, Emmanuel
I am wanting to find Christmas
Guide me through the obstacles
I am wanting to find Christmas

I am wanting to find Christmas
Invite me to focus when I am distracted...

I was crushed when the Nebraska Women’s Volleyball team was upset by Texas A&M in the NCAA Tournament over the weekend. I felt really bad, and then I watched an interview with one of the players, and I realized how hurt she felt. However, I...

I took a nap yesterday. I don’t take a lot of intentional naps, though I have been known to sit down after a long Sunday and be asleep before my backside has sunk too far into the couch cushion. I did not sleep well the night before, and...

I had a chapel wedding yesterday, and from what I heard, the wedding party had some challenges and mishaps on their way to the wedding. There was clearly some stress when they arrived, and both the groom and the bride looked a little distant...

There are a number of strange things about me, and I’m pretty sure my spouse could add to the list. One of the oddities that is Bruce Frogge is looking for patterns in numbers. I’m not great at games like Sudoku, but I will see a list of...

Who is really in the story and who is not? In three different conversations in the last week, people have been surprised that something or someone was not actually in the Christmas Story. From cartoon versions to made-for-TV movies to...

In Sunday’s sermon, I mentioned a movie that might be among the Frogges’ Top Five, though as I think more about it, I’m pretty sure we have seven or eight movies in our Top Five. Though one that is close to the top is Shawshank Redemption,...

There were a couple of snafus on Sunday in regard to the worship material and the worship outline. I must own all those! Not to explain away my blunder, but it was a sort of interesting happening. My screen on my MacBook Air started to go out,...

that feed intolerance—

Magnificent and Merciful God.
