There was once a bridge which spanned a large river. During most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass thru freely on both sides of the bridge. But at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge

A lady visiting the Holy Land came upon a sheepfold located high on a hilltop. Her attention was drawn to one poor sheep lying by the side of the road bleating in pain. Looking more closely, she discovered that its leg was injured. She asked the shepherd how it happened.

A Sunday School was putting on a Christmas pageant which included the story of Mary and Joseph coming to the inn. One boy wanted so very much to be Joseph, but when the parts were handed out, a boy he didn’t like was given that part, and he was assigned to be the inn-keeper instead. He was pretty

Missing The Point
Isn’t it amazing how sometimes we get all tangled up with the words we speak
and end up not being clear about what we’re trying to say? Back when I was
in high school I had a poster that read, "I know you think you understand
what I said, but what you don’t understand is that

Turning Point (from Our Daily Bread)
The surrender of one’s will to Jesus is essential to a life of joy and victory. Oswald Chambers called this “giving up my right to myself.” We hold nothing back—no earthly life, no material gain, no pride-filled position—but simply say, “Jesus, do with my life

The news from the Utah mine collapse has not been good. Over the last several days, in an effort to find the trapped men, holes have been drilled through 2000 feet of rock and rubble. We hope the men will be saved. But for a moment, imagine if the drill comes all the way down and discovers

A Godly leader is not to be quick tempered or overbearing. Back in the days when I was a police officer I was an elder at our church. One Sunday I was asked if I would bring an offering meditation. At the last minute I discovered I would be working that day so our Pastor asked if I could get a 10

Mama eagles are caring loving creatures. Somewhere along the line the mama eagle decides it’s time the baby eagles learn to fly. She takes the little eagle out of the next and flies up as high as she can go. At this point, she drops the fledgling, and he falls fast. The fledgling has never

There is an old pizza delivery joke that when someone comes into the shop to ask for directions the standard reply is, “You can’t there from here.” When you are loaded down with guilt, and all your emotional baggage, and all the comforts and securities of life that you have earned, then you can’t
