                    CATERPILLARS AND CHAMELEONS
There are two creatures on earth that I find equally fascinating.  One is the caterpillar and the other the chameleon.  Chameleons have the amazing ability to alter their appearance in order to blend into their background.  Christians who do this have no effective

I knew what was coming.  ‘You don’t have to tell me,’ I said.  ‘I’m off the team, aren’t I?’  ‘Well,’ said Coach, ‘you never were really ON the team.  You made that

If we are unwilling to change, we will abandon prayer as a noticeable characteristic of our lives.  The closer we come to the heartbeat of God the more we see

                    GOD'S BOOT CAMP
When a civilian enters the military, they go through boot camp. It's my understanding that in boot camp, the individual is broken down, and they are retrained to see themselves as part of the unit. They are conditioned to be disciplined to obey the commands of their superiors. In a

                    In the King Cotton state of Alabama in 1915 there was this very small bug about ¼ inch long with a life expectancy of three week and it devastated the state.  This small bug lives for about 3 weeks and it can have about 8 sets of offspring during its life of 200 each time.  That’s about 1,600

                    Many have seen the movie "A Beautiful Mind" and the incredible story of John Nash, but the strength behind the story is Nash’s wife.
Toward the end of the movie Alysia has a conversation with one of her husband’s lifelong friends. It shows the power of genuine love and commitment.
