The dear bishop replied,

I have a battery charger which I bought because I got tired of buying batteries for my digital camera which is really hard on batteries. We were in Washington, D. C. a couple of years ago and even though I had put in new batteries before we left that morning, right in the Smithsonian, probably

I can’t say I have ever felt afraid of God, but I have felt the awe of His presence, and I have been overcome by a sense of His majesty. I remember standing out on a mound of earth out on a property and looking up at the stars. Away from the city, the stars seem so much brighter, and I cried out to

I remember when I was 16 years old how I made my first profession of faith. Our church was in revival with Bro. Bobby McGilliard leading the service. Through his message God began to reveal to me that I was lost and headed for a place called Hell. I went forward and one of the councilors took me to

"I'm No Moses!"
When I received my call to go into ministry, I was praying. Immediately, I rejected the call, telling God that I was a business person, not really minister material. I knew how to speak about marketing. I knew a bit about managing people. I could talk about that. On and on I

I have an old story to tell you. I heard this from my pastor during the early years of my conversion to Christianity. I learned later that this story dates back to the 19th century. It gives us a picture of a God who really longs to save us. Some of you might know the story. But I’m going tell it

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’m Not Growing Old
They say that I am growing old
I’ve heard them say it times untold
In language plain and bold

What if my hair has turned gray
Gray hair is honorable, they

-She had ear rings, nose rings, eyebrow rings and a lip ring. I went over to talk to her. I told her that I liked her hair. (I really did -she looked nice.)
