                    Saturday at about 2:30 a.m., Wade Hawkins, Jr. and his family were sleeping peacefully in their home when a tornado struck. Ogie, as he is commonly called, and his younger son were sleeping in the master bedroom. His wife had fallen asleep on the couch in the living room, while his eight-year-old

                    Several years ago my wife and I bought our 2 small grandsons new bicycles for their birthdays. We did not have a truck available at the time, so we bought the bikes unassembled.
My son and I realized that it would not be a big task to assemble the bikes.  We began the process without reading the

                    [010]  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM - A TRIBUTE TO OUR MOTHERS - MOTHERS' DAY
I was asked to write a poem for Mothers’ Day and this is it.  I forget the context of it now but it had something to do with a children’s group in a church.

                    SERGEANT YORK the Christian Soldier
 
If someone remembers the name Sergeant York, they remark by saying, “That’s the movie starring Gary Cooper, right?” Who is this hillbilly from Tennessee? This is where our story begins.
In December 1887, in the hills of Pall Mall, Tennessee, Alvin York was

                    One day my daughter Emilee, age 1 1/2, came running up to me saying, "Bless you, bless you." Not knowing what I did to deserve a blessing, I just said, "Thank you." Emilee repeated, "Bless!" even more earnestly. I replied, "Thank you."
By now she had become and near tears. Because I couldn’t always

                    I was taking a shower when my 2-year-old son came into the bathroom and wrapped himself in toilet paper.
Although he made a mess, he looked adorable, so I ran for my camera and took a few shots.
They came out so well that I had copies made and included one with each of our Christmas cards.

  My wife was taken aback, and rather than get into a long theological discussion with a 2 year old, answered, "No,
