    I have an old tape by a group called One Bad Pig, a Christian thrash-metal group. About the most obnoxious kind of music available. Anyway, there’s one song on it called "Man in Black", with Johnny Cash being the guest vocalist. It’s quite a blend of country and metal. At the very end of the ...read more

    THE NEW GUY We all need real hope. There were four ladies in a nursing home one time that were sitting there talking, and the nurse brings in a new man to the facility.

    THE TWO FROGS IN THE CREAM. I love the story of the two frogs that fell in the ten gallon milk bucket. They swam for hours. The one frog said, "What is the use?" and he gave up and drowned. The other frog said, I cannot afford to give up. So the frog kicked and kicked until the cream turned into ...read more

    PROUD HUMILITY Humility is a sign of strength, not of weakness. Humility is above all, and quite simply, truthfulness--self-honesty. It is not the false modesty of one retreating shyly into the limelight. It isn’t, in other words, the sort of "humility" that was expressed in the ...read more

    The phrase that helps remind me of not giving in to weariness (and we all get tired) is: Keeping on Keeping On. Again this is not praying the same prayer in order to wear God down, it is being consistent, constant, and unwavering even when we don’t feel like it. I’m sure the widow wanted to give up ...read more
