    As we approach election day we need to be concerned about a far more important election than the one determining the government of our country.

    I was coming home from San Antonio Tuesday night and called my brother to see if he would like to meet me for coffee. He said no, he was on his way to the capital. He asked “when else in my lifetime will I get to see someone either accept or concede the Presidency of the United States?” So I met ...read more

    The prophet Isaiah has discovered something crucial in his relationship with God. God calls us toward that which offers real satisfaction. Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do ...read more

    Right in the middle of our world, Jesus calls us to become disciples committed to a work of eternal significance

    Fishing is a favorite subject of mine. If I can’t get out to do it, I can at least sit around and talk about it, and that’s the next best thing. There are some who would rather not do either. So, I wouldn’t want to push fishing on anyone. Even though 4 of 12 of Jesus’ ...read more
