When I was about 27 years old I developed an abscess in a rather embarrassing area of the body. Consequently I tried to keep quiet about it hoping it would go away by natural means.
Eventually the abscess got to such a size that the pain was intense and I was finding it difficult to walk. So I

I once went to a dentist, and I don’t remember what procedure he was actually doing on my teeth but for some reason he needed to wiggle my jaw. He grabbed my chin and tried to use it to tap my bottom teeth to my top teeth. He commanded me to just relax my jaw muscles. Essentially, he wanted to

I remember when I was fishing with my dad sailing into Yarmouth in the fog, I can’t remember sailing into Yarmouth without fog but that’s a different story. And we’d use our radar as much as we could but we would put a man out on the bow to keep a look out for the light from the buoys. The

Self - I have an acrostic which I came up this week for SELF:
S = Serving
E = Ego
L = Living
F = Foolishly
EGO is:
E = Edging
G = God
O = Out
This is what self always does - it pushes God out of focus and places self as “uno” number one to be served and to be appeased. Servant leaders are

For my next point, I need a volunteer. I need a young person who really likes bubble gum. (Get the volunteer and talk with him or her up front for a minute.) So you like chewing gum? What is your favorite kind? Really, that is nice. I’m sorry that I don’t have any of that king of bubble gum,

When I first came to Geneva, I was struck by how many attractive older women there are here. I thought they must have been strikingly beautiful as young women. When we had our 40th anniversary, I got to see pictures of our lovely women. They were all attractive, still I realized that they had grown

A few years ago I had a good friend. I considered him to be one of my best friends. We spent a lot of time together. We shared some good times. I thought that he would be one of the friends I would have for the rest of my life. Then we hit a small bump in the road and lost touch. Our

I didn’t get an allowance when I was in high school and any kind of paying work was few and far between. My parents expected me to come to them when I needed money for lunch money, class rings, yearbooks, books, gas money, dates, or anything. Instead of being thankful that they wanted to give me

When my wife and I lived in Florida I had a little bitty lime tree which never produced good fruit. It was amazing. No matter what I did the tree never produced any fruit which I could use. The limes were always covered in black kind of mold or fungus or something. I would wash them off but it

I love Baptisms. I always love it when people respond to Jesus in this way.
I remember as a TEENAGER
seeing people from our YOUTH GROUP
being BAPTISED in a BAPTISMAL POOL
at the FRONT of our Church.
It was so STRANGE to me.
I watched as people WALKED DOWN THE STEPS
of a SMALL POOL at
