                    I’m told that an angel came to Adam before Eve was created and said, “I have a proposition for you Adam. We are going to create for you an individual like you, but a little different – a female!” So Adam said, “Well what will she be all about? What will she do?” The angel told Adam, “She will take

                    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 weeks ago my parents came down to visit for Easter and I got to relieve another childhood memory.  My parents stayed at a hotel on Saturday night.  Sunday after church we ate lunch and were hanging out before they had to start the journey back home.  All of a sudden my mom panicked.  She had

                    When I first came to Reno to start a church, now about 22 years ago, my church planting advisors pointed me toward two men, two pastors who had had an extremely positive and successful experience in their church planting experiences.  They had both planted churches in the past decade which had

                    When I first came into ministry many years ago now, Julie and I realized that the only way we could train in the Bible College was to sell everything we owned except our car and our children (actually our children already belonged to God, so they didn’t come into the equation).

                    One day some manure came out from a prize bull - landing right in the middle of the walkway.  It thought to itself, “I’m going to rise above the rest of this dung.  I’m not going to live in the gutter - I’m going to be great and famous.  That same day, a farmer’s hat fell off on top of the manure.
