Starla and I were recently in California. We had stopped in a grocery store to pick up a few items. As we walked up to the counter to pay, the employee behind the register asked, “How are you today” I responded “I’m doing great, how are you?” He looked up […]
Different than you think!
Oftentimes our plans don’t turn out quite the way we had planned. How many ever planned on getting married to one person at one particular time, but someone got cold feet or did something stupid? How many planned on working at a particular job until retirement? But you were conveniently […]
Rescued!
Our family was floating on tubes down the Guadalupe River, enjoying the sun and the shade and the coolness of the water, on a summer vacation. The river is relatively calm, but there are a few spots where the small rapids may tip your tube over. Starla and I had just gone […]

Pray Today!
The word of the day is “Pray in the Spirit.” Prayer is a good thing to do in all circumstances. But sometimes it’s the only thing to do. Especially when you don’t know exactly how to pray. That’s when you pray in the Spirit. Romans 8:26 “In the same […]
