I found a series of “Dear God” prayers on the internet, a few of which I’d like to share with you.
7-year old Debbie prayed, “Dear God: Please send a new baby for Mommy. The new baby you sent last week cries too much.”
“Dear Lord: Thank you for the nice day today. You even fooled the TV weather

A MENTOR'S ENCOURAGEMENT
In my office hangs a tie and a pair of suspenders enclosed in a glass and wood case. Those mementos belonged to my academic advisor, mentor and friend from my days in seminary - the late Dr. Gary McGee. About half way through my program, I stood in his office tired, burned

Here I speak of a special type of giving, the giving of our total selves first to God. It is the giving of body, soul and spirit for God’s use that we may achieve, for ourselves and for others, the higher ends of God. This is not, as you can see, charity giving. This is dedication giving. It is

Recently Jeanie and I have been working on a project to install a mantle above our fireplace. It is going to be beautiful when we finish it, if we ever finish it. The problem is that we started with a piece of wood that had already been molded into something else. It had been a piece of

A PREACHER WAS IN HIS STUDY, PREPARING HIS SUNDAY SERMON, WHEN HIS LITTLE BOY TODDLED INTO THE ROOM, AND HOLDING UP HIS PINCHED FINGER, THE LITTLE FELLOW SAID, WITH AN EXPRESSION OF SUFFERING, "LOOK, DADDY, IT HURTS REALLY BAD"
G. THAT PREACHER/FATHER GLANCED AT HIM AND WITH A TONE OF IMPATIENCE,

Illus. The other night I put the boys into bed. “Good night, go to bed, no talking. See you in the morning” Pretty clear right?
I was 5 feet from the door and I heard them talking.
So I went back in. Reminded them, no talking. Go to bed!
10 minutes later I hear giggling. I walk in just as

I’ll tell you what I’ve seen some pretty lousy gospel presentations that people respond to. I’ve done it myself. There have been times when I’ve presented the gospel so poorly that I was boring myself, but the person responded in faith. There have been other times when I’ve answered every

Dear God, So far today I’ve done all right. I haven’t gossiped, I haven’t lost my temper, I haven’t been greedy, grumpy, nasty, selfish or over-indulgent. I’m very thankful for that. But in a few minutes, God, I’m going to get

But preacher, you say, I’ve read the end. This old world just gets worse and worse until God burns it up. You’re right. But you know what – you will die someday but you run and work out anyway. Someday something will kill you, but you still watch what you eat. When you get sick, you go see the

It is easy to become a slave to hatred in our hearts. A good friend of mine, "Roy", became angry with another friend of mine, "Lee", several years ago. "Roy" has never forgiven "Lee" for the trespass, and "Lee" has never known that "Roy" is angry with him. Recently, I bumped into "Roy" and asked

The day was warm and sunny, and after lunch I took Tricia into the woods behind the house to explore with her the places I remembered from my own childhood. A dark stream ran through the woodland, and leaves were yellow-green against the fast-moving clouds and blue sky. I pointed out, as my father
