In 2 Tim 4:7 Paul said that death was like finishing the race. Like crossing the finish line. That all of life is really about one thing – finishing well. Accomplishing the dreams and goals that God has for your life.

A missionary in the South Sea Islands for a number of years was lying on his back in several inches of water reaching up in his boat, trying to repair the inboard motor. He had to get in that position to fix it, and it was a dirty, hot, scummy business. This doctor was lying there doing that so he

WHERE FRUIT BEGINS
I believe with everything that is in me that fruit begins with each one of us. It begins with a decision, “I want to bear fruit. I want to honor Jesus. I want to walk in his ways. And I will do it no matter what. No matter what life throws at me. No matter what struggles I face.

I was reading about a football game of deaf high school kids. I thought to myself, “How in the world are they going to hear the calls for the plays since they are all deaf?”
What was interesting is that they all take to the field and look at the coach and the coach signs the plays. Then they nod

When I was in high school, there was two twin brothers who were one year ahead of me in school. They turned 16, they got their licenses, and then a nice used sports car appeared in their driveway, paid for, at least in part, by dear old dad. Not too much time passed before they were in an accident
