Make Every Minute Count!
I just received news that one of my Pastor friends that I have known for 30 years, just lost his 20 year old son in a motorcycle accident. My heart is hurting for this precious family. This young man loved the Lord and had a purpose and passion for life. […]
Ready or Not!
I was 12 or 13 years old and had just come home from school. Walking into my house I noticed something wasn’t right. The television was on, the lights were on, there was food on the stove top, the table was even set, but something wasn’t right. My Mother was […]
Holy Communion?
My brothers and I grew up as Preacher’s Kids hanging around the church after school and through the week. Oftentimes we would find ourselves hungry like normal red-blooded American boys. So we would break into the church kitchen looking for food. Usually, all we found were communion wafers and […]

It’s a Wonderful Life!
I took a pair of boots into a shoe repair shop to get a new set of heels. When I walked in “Rico” the shoe repair man greeted me with a big smile and said, “It’s a wonderful day, isn’t it?” I said, “Yes it is!” I told Starla about […]
