How long is eternity?
No tongue can truly say,
We stand before its vast unknown,

How Long Is Eternity?
People have tried to describe eternity, but no preacher, no teacher, no human tongue can ever fully tell how long forever really is. At best, we can only stand at the edge of it, look into it, and feel our hearts break. Imagine a crow flying from the earth to the moon—a

We all need to accept and value one another, in all of our glorious variety, and not try to fit people into a mold or expect them to be just like us. Because it is an undeniable fact that God loves variety. Consider the natural world, for example. In this world that God designed and created,

It’s a bit difficult for us, living in 21st-century America, to understand and accept the principle of God’s kingship, because we don’t live in a monarchy or a dictatorship, as did the people of Biblical times. We live in a representative democracy, under a Constitution. In our form of government,

Rainy Day Memory
Masking Tape, Mayhem, and the Genius
The day began badly… or at least that’s what I thought at first.
You see, on that particular rainy day, I found myself in the role of “Grandpa Daycare Director” for my grandson Dawson—a pint-sized whirlwind who was probably about five years old

Global Gift Dilemma
Simple Gifts, Joyful Hearts
I enjoy Christmas not just because it commemorates Christ’s birth and allows us to share that meaningfully with others.
I appreciate the spirit of giving, but as my wife and I grow older, we’ve become more careful about our spending. We now keep
