Picking up the large bails of hay and carrying them to the horse pasture was not the easiest job. I could only carry one bail at a time, my friends who worked at the barn however were able to carry one in each hand and then toss them with ease once in the pasture. I would struggle under the weight

Fasting is not just about giving up food, it is an attitude of repentance, of obedience and of humility before God. The best analogy for a fast that I know is something that happened to me while I was at work. I work as a police officer and one day, my sergeant asked a colleague and my self to go

A little girl picked up a potato and said, "Look, Mommy, this potato is so big and nice, isn’t it?" Then the mother peeled it and cut it in half. How surprised was the little girl when she saw it all black and hollow in the middle.

Ill. I grew up in Indiana and there were a lot of tornados that went through our farm. I remember one in particular where all eight of us kids and my mother and father huddled in the basement waiting for one to pass. My oldest brother remembered something that needed to be tied down or something

Growing up is so common and predictable it’s taken for granted. Until May 1975, when our first child was born, my wife, Mary, and I thought we could just stand back and watch it happen. We had been eagerly planning and anticipating the miracle as only first-time parents can. We had prepared the

Going to Memphis to see Gladys, or to pick up Gladys each weekend to bring her back up to Ridgely. It was a long trip. 200 miles round trip. I didn’t lament that. I didn’t regret that. I didn’t complain. Why, because I got to spend time with my honey. I got to spend time with the love of my

Some of us grew up with an extra kid in the house. We didn’t know it but he was there at certain times. His name was “Not Me.” He always appeared when something happened. Like when your mom asked, “Who got this play dough in the carpet?” (NOT ME) “Who colored on the walls in the bedroom?” (NOT

I feel nudged up into sharing this experience. Usually, life brings with it its mysteries where at times you enjoy the Lord’s abundant provision while on other occasions you enjoy lack! In this particular day, we had no electricity in the house and there was no kerosene to light up the kerosene

If we set ourselves up as the Judge of who is and is not righteous, we’ll get it wrong as often as we’ll get it right.
Through the years I’ve had numerous occasions when folks warned me to watch out for other people in a church. The amazing thing is that --- in almost every case --- the people I

A little city in Mexico was fed up with all of the late night revelry and noise from thousands of people late into the night during the summer. So their answer was to create a law to put a decibel limit on urban noise levels. Unfortunately this disrupted a noise that has been heard in that city for
