14 years ago, our little family moved from IN to OH. We had acquired some stuff, and needed to rent a Ryder truck to get it all to OH. Being the analyzer and organizer that I am, I studied the furniture and appliances of our house. I read the moving help booklet from Ryder. I calculated the

Bob James of Paint Rock, Texas, shares this story in Leadership, Vol.7, no.4: “Recently I laid a small circle of poison around a hill of stinging ants. Thinking the tiny granules of poison were food, the ants began to pick them up and carry them throughout the colony. I returned later to see how

The young boy said, “Daddy, if three frogs are sitting on a limb hanging over a pool, and one frog decides to jump, how many frogs are left on the limb?”
His dad replied, “Two.”

I believe that the Church in America is suffering because too many of us are not growing. We are not allowing God to speak to our lives. We are holding onto sin and attitudes that are not biblical, and we go to church every week, we hear a good message and we go home!!
Listen up church - I have

The job of the church is not to impact the church, but to impact the world.
It’s like a huddle in a football game.
67,000 people don’t pay $50.00 a ticket to watch the World champion Giants huddle.
What if you went to a Giants game and for 2 ½ hours you watched 11 men stand in a circle and

Sometimes people think God does not know what they are thinking. But He knows that some people are just "using" God, but they really detest Him.
At a tea for officers and their wives, the commanding general of a base delivered a seemingly endless oration. A young lieutenant grumbled to the woman

It is like the brand new, high tech fire helmets sent to a big city fire department to try recently. They were shiny, reflected light, had adjustable sizes, even a built in radio receiver. There was only one problem. When they were exposed to high heat they melted. But our lives are like that.

At the dramatic conclusion of the musical, Camelot, the tragic figure of King Arthur calls a boy named Tom out of the bushes. Arthur dubs the boy a “Knight of the Round Table,” but orders him not to fight in the battle. He is to “grow up and grow strong” in order to tell of the ideals and

LIMITS. Write that down. Who do we need to accurately assess ourselves? Someone else.
Regular assessment is important because our limits regular vacillate. They change according to what is on our plate and our overall well-being. They depend on the season.

VICTOR, NOT THE VICTIM
I used to work for the Post Office and when I became serious about the Lord, it must have really shown in my actions and words, because people all of a sudden began making fun of me and giving me snide comments.
At times it was difficult, but I remained steadfast in my

We humans tend to come to blockages and stop. The other day I was using a vacuum cleaner, the nice new yellow one here at the hall, I turned it on and it worked (tuned it on made all the right noises). But it had no suck. It had become blocked and jammed with hay where the hose met its body, thanks
