Fr. Glenn: ‘Let Your Manner Of Life Be Worthy…’

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

You know … it’s usual for us to want to be remembered when we are gone—to have left some sort of admirable legacy. But I was re-reading the Biblical book 2 Chronicles recently—probably among the least-read books of the Bible since it goes over a lot of the same history as does 2 Kings—and re-encountered a rather tragic phrase: “…he departed with no one’s regret.” (2 Chronicles 21:20).

Ouch.

Who merited such an unfortunate epitaph? None other than a king—Jehoram of the kingdom of Judah, whose manner of life was so offensive to God that “… the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable Read More

He loved business, back in the days when he lived in the city and ran the pawn shop. For years now, ever since he hung up his jeweler’s loupe, he’s told us that there was an excitement to making the right deal.

“It has to be right for the customer and for me, or it isn’t right at all,” Herb always says. “You can do that and make several people happy and earn a living. There’s no need Read More
