                    Someone (Len Sullivan) recalls a story from their family history about his grandparents.    "In the late 1920s my grandparents married and moved into Grandpa’s old family home.   It was a clapboard house with a hall down the middle.   In the ’30s they decided to tear down the old house and build

                    One of the subjects I taught was physical science for learning disabled kids.  It was hard to get them motivated to do much at all.  One day I showed the class a video about protecting the environment.  It explored all the ways that humanity was destroying the earth and the steps we needed to take

                    “In God’s economy, ownership is very different. The Bible tells us that we are here for but a moment, that our lives are a puff of smoke. I have never seen a hearse pulling a U-Haul. Mother Theresa is merciless on this theme. She said that “if you have two jackets, one belongs to the poor.” This

                    I say, "my car," but it’s not really my car, it’s the Lord’s. He has just loaned it to me to use for Him. Every bit of metal, plastic, every bit of glass and for my car, every bit of rust belongs to God. And someday my car will be dropped into some giant compressing machine, be folded up into about

                    A man got a job as a night watchman at a factory. There had been a lot of thefts by the workers on the night shift and so every morning when the night shift workers passed through his gate it was his job to check their bags and pockets to make sure that nothing was being stolen.

                    [187].  A MESSAGE FROM A POEM – MY FINAL DESTINATION
What is your final destination?  “Well,” say some, “death is the end of it all.  There is nothing after death.  Evolution placed us here and will see our end recycled.”
Those who deny an eternal spirit in man just ignore the bible’s message –
