ILLUS: When I was a boy in school from time to time I would get into trouble. The first time I was sent to the principal’s office was a real education for me. By the way, back in those day they believed in spanking boys that did something wrong. So, another young man and I was sent to the

It’s like the work done on various Television programmes. Take one run down house or barn crying out for restoration, or a few rooms of a house in desperate need of decoration, or the Vicarage kitchen in need of a refit! Jesus takes us as we are, however run-down, how ever messy our lives might be,

I’m a fan of the television show "24". It has more fast-moving action packed into an hour than any show I have ever seen. The lead character, special agent Jack Bauer, is on the run practically the entire show. He has no sooner solved one crisis than another rises. The title "24" is taken from

Dr. Rod Cooper, a Professor at Denver Seminary grew up on a pig farm. In one field there were 200 or 300 little pigs running around. Every day at 4:00 a.m. he went out to feed them, and when he walked in they would all scatter except for one little pig that would come up and chew on his shoe. He

Babe Ruth …The Great Bambino
One of the all-time greats in baseball was Babe Ruth. His bat had the power of a cannon, and his record of 714 home runs remained unbroken until Hank Aaron came along. The Babe was the idol of sports fans, but in time, age took its toll, and his popularity began to

It has been interesting to have a female cat in the house because there have been moments, when either real or playing, one of the boys has cried and Hanna (yes that is her name, Hanna) has come running to check them out.
She gets in their face and sniffs and by her actions you can tell she is

How To Train An Elephant
Have you ever wondered how to train an elephant?
The first step is making it believe it can’t run away.
Get your elephant—preferably a baby one—and tie it to a strong steel stake in the ground, like you would tie a horse to a hitching post.
The baby elephant will try to

A PRICE TOO HIGH
A young man was to be sentenced to the penitentiary. The judge had known him from childhood, for he was well acquainted with his father--a famous legal scholar and the author of an exhaustive study entitled, "The Law of Trusts." "Do you remember your father?" asked the

I used to have a principle named Mr. Duchovich. He was a monster of a man. Not in Character, but in stature. When in trouble in Jr. High school, the students feared for their lives. I remember one day having another student at the school bet me that I couldn’t kick a clock that was 7.5 feet

SHOUTING THE GOOD NEWS?
It’s amazing how many people try to share the good news with a sense of rage and hatred.
Example: ranting and raving about a particular social ill, polarizing people, and focusing more on judgment and God’s wrath than on the hope that Christ offers.
People rant about

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end;
Yet days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone,
And I never see my old friend’s face.
For life is a swift and terrible race.
He knows I like him just as well
As in the days when I rang his bell
And he

There’s a bit of verse in the form of a prayer that I think is appropriate:
Slow me down, Lord.
Ease the pounding of my heart
by the quieting of my mind,
Steady my hurried pace
with the eternal reach of time,
Give me amid the confusion of the day
the calmness of the everlasting hills,

He had no cornfields or fisheries, but He could spread a table for five thousand and have bread and fish to spare. He walked on no beautiful carpets or velvet rugs, but He walked on the waters of the Sea of Galilee and they supported Him.
