"No Man Is an Island." … You probably already know this phrase. The words are universally known and often-quoted by men and women all over the world, an expression of the idea that men do badly when isolated from others and need to be part of a community in order to thrive. Connection is important for the wellbeing and the survival of any man. No one can stand alone like an island that is surrounded only by a sea of temptation and pain.

Do you ever feel angry with God? Do you ever wonder if it's ok to be angry with God? Is He big enough to take it?

I think we all have times when we wonder what God is up to and most of us, if we really think about it, have been angry with God at one time or another in our lives. Often we don't get our way and believe God has made a mistake. But down deep we know that this isn't possible.

In today's world, we all fight against being too busy. There are so many things that draw on our time. It's too easy to fall into a pattern of the world pulling us away from what's important. When we're not careful, we are drawn into a place of meaningless waste of valuable time. There is a big difference between that kind of business and being busy in the work of the Lord.

On today's program, we'll visit with a pastor who loves the outdoors, but rarely gets to enjoy time in the places that he loves so much. This pastor has worked doing many things in the building trades, local schools, hospitals and nursing homes, jails and other places… all while caring for a church family as a pastor.
