I want to share one more time from our trip. On the ship, we had an inside cabin. There were two long hallways running the length of the ship that had access to cabins on either side. The cabins along one side all were on the outside and therefore had windows. The cabins on the other side were

I love to step inside a church,
To rest, and think, and pray;
The quiet, calm, and holy place
Can drive all cares away.
I feel that from these simple walls
There breathes a moving sound
Of sacred music, murmured prayers,
Caught in the endless round.
Of all that makes our human life;
Birth,

The turkey shot out of the oven
and rocketed into the air,
it knocked every plate off the table
and partly demolished a chair.
It ricocheted into a corner and
burst with a deafening boom,
then splattered all over the kitchen,
completely obscuring the room.
It stuck to the walls and the

When the Golden Gate Bridge of San Francisco was being built, there was a great fear of workers falling. Bridge builders have a superstition that one man will die for every million dollars spent on the project. This bridge was budgeted for $35 million, so the fear was pervasive. The chief engineer,

Years ago an S-4 submarine was rammed by a ship off the coast of Massachusetts. It sank immediately. The entire crew was trapped in a prison house of death. Every effort was made to rescue the crew, but it ultimately failed.
Near the end of the ordeal, a deep sea diver, who was

The great English preacher Charles Spurgeon once said, "The gospel is preached in the ears of all men; it only comes with power to some. The power that is in the gospel does not lie in the eloquence of the preacher otherwise men would be converters of souls. Nor does it lie in the preacher’s

If you’ve kept up with the local news you may have read about a local concrete company who was using some inadequate materials in their mix. Because of this, the people buying concrete from this company were building foundations for houses and lots of other things with defective concrete. After a

GOODNESS SCALE
Let’s look at it this way. If we place a scale on the wall behind me, with bad being at the bottom and good being at the top, where would you place yourself? We could place Hitler near the bottom, and Billy Graham closer to the top, right? My guess is all of us place ourselves

Several years ago, I was working on replacing an old, falling-over retaining wall on the side of my house. Some of the stones I replaced were too big for me to move and some were cemented together into “blobs” of rock and concrete. So I set out to bust them up with a sledge hammer. I struck

Picked Last
It happened several times a week, almost without fail. Whether they lined up against the wall of the gymnasium, the local ice rink or the snow bank for the back-roads hockey, it was always the same. The leaders picked him last.
Last for basketball because he was too clumsy; in hockey

One lady wanted to know what she would feel when she was baptized. Minister didn’t know how to answer, varied responses. When he put her under, her body stiffened and her eyes popped open. The look on her face was a mixture of excitement and surprise. And all he could think was "Hey, Lord, How
