WHAT WILL YOUR LEGACY BE?
I visited the home of Elvis in Graceland, Tennessee. After so many years after his death, I was amazed at the crowds of people that take the tour and listen to his life’s story. The sad thing is, the story will never change, because he has lived his life and what he has

A few blocks below my college was a restaurant that served only breakfast – and it was a great breakfast, cheap. What made this breakfast unique was that, except for the manager, everything was handled by mentally handicapped folks. They were the cooks, the waiters and waitresses, the busboy, the

April 20 will be the 8th anniversary of the day Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold gunned down a dozen students and one teacher at Columbine High School. Although it was not

My dear friend Maureen Smith Grable conveys this truth very well in her poem “Doing Battle on Our Knees.”
"Many warriors have gone to battle
riding mounted, prancing steeds
But the Christian goes to battle
when he falls upon his knees.
The greatest warfare will take place

The King James version translates this verse saying, “Our righteousness is as flighty rags.”
The word translated there as “filthy rags” literally means, “menstrual cloth.” Forgive my bluntness but God says the best thing you have ever done, apart from Him, stinks like that. When we do things,

[A Christmas Poem]
The King of Kings, the Lord of Lords

And live in the victory won!
