You know, when I was a little boy my mother taught us to sing a song that was written by Civilla Martin. Although many hymn books says that it was C. Gabriel who wrote this song, a deep historical investigation shows that Miss Martin was visiting a very close friend that was dying. This lady

Out of my office window I looked up and saw a squirrel jump from one high tree to another. On the ground several dogs were milling around. He appeared to be aiming for a limb so far out of reach that the leap looked like suicide. He missed--but landed, safe and unconcerned, on a branch several

My daughter came home from school one day with tears in her eyes. "Tori said that she won’t be my friend unless I sit with her on the bus." Just like that, a seven year old had placed conditions on a friendship that should have been unconditional. Sometimes we forget that Jesus loves us
