                    	I remember when I saw a program showing how they used to film Gunsmoke, one of my favorite TV shows as a kid.  I learned that Dodge City was really just a place in the middle of nowhere not even close to the real one.  There was no Longbranch Saloon, no stores or jail, it was all front with

                    I remember one winter my dad needed firewood, and he found a dead tree and sawed it down. In the spring, to his dismay, new shoots sprouted around the trunk. He said, “I thought sure it was dead. The leaves had all dropped in the wintertime. It was so cold that twigs snapped as if there were no

                    I remember my youthful years when cutting logs with dad for a new house. When the morning cut was over and we sat for lunch around our open fire it would become embers in minutes so that it nearly died and we would become chilled. The flame and warmth

My mother told me to take driving lessons. I had 26 lessons in all, it was money well spent it was intense but I devoted myself to passing the test.

                    I remember well when the Holy Spirit helped me come to a conviction that I was a sinner and needed a Savior.  I was a young adult of 20, married, and the father of one child at the time.  I had been running with the boys and come to the place of desiring a divorce from my wife.  Also, I was doing

Suddenly a green Plymouth Valiant slowly pulled up to the driveway and pulled in.

It was to be just me and him. But when I showed up there was a circle of kids who had come to watch the big fight.  Fear overtook me and I ran all

It had a beautiful solid wood cabinet
