August 3, 2023 Pride! I did due diligence with my internet research. I watched three or four videos that told me exactly how to complete my project and with the promise of an amazing result.

July 27, 2023 Why Worship! Retirement has provided me with a choice. When I was still working, I did not have a choice of where I was going to be or what I was going to do on a Sunday morning. However, in my retirement I have choices on Sunday morning. When I was still […]

July 20, 2023 Your Hat Teaches You! A friend in seminary (a four-year graduate school for pastors) told me that the girl he was dating wanted him to change. Although she did not want him to change a whole lot of things, he was still concerned. As he described her request, it became apparent she […]

June 15, 2023 More Power! I have seen many people run out of juice before the big project is finished or run out of energy before the end of the game or run out of passion before the dream is accomplished. I am not sure if their resolve is diluted or their focus is unclear […]

June 8, 2023 Surprise Ending! When it comes to movies, most of us do not like unresolved endings. We want to know for sure what happened to each of the main characters. Even if the ending does not involve the heroine singing a love song as she rides off into a beautiful Nebraska sunset, we […]

June 1, 2023 Fruit Inspectors! I sat in the living room of Jean’s humble home as we visited about the twists and turns of life, the power of love, and the things of faith. She loved Jesus and had served Jesus faithfully all of her life. Jean possessed a special blend of a humble heart […]
