I’m battling with yet another very sore throat and all the other attendant maladies, so I went to bed last night instead of blogging! I think I need to move to Arizona!
Today, I want to tell you about some people who have always been a big part of me, although I [...]

WARNING:  VERY LONG BLOG.  Sorry.  I can’t write a short one about this man. 
In the second instalment of my “Good Folks” series, I’d like to highlight another preacher who had a huge impact on my life. When I blogged last, I told you about the preacher who baptized me in August of 1962. [...]

…………….second-guessed yourself? Wondered if you had it wrong all along? You thought you were making good decisions and were comfortable in your own skin? Then when you look at it again, you realize probably you were making a situation worse instead of better?
I’ll get back to my Good Folks story-telling next week. [...]

For the next little while, I would like to, on the instalment plan, share with you about some very special people in my life. I’ve already talked a lot about some of the nearest and dearest: my parents, Doris, brothers and sister, kids, grandkids, and nieces and nephews and other extended family. So I would [...]

My devotional today referred to a song entitled “I Saw God Today.”  The devotional talked about opening our eyes and seeing God’s face all around us in the everyday things that we sometimes take for granted.  I’d never heard the song.  I suspected it was a country song, and I was right.  It’s sweet and [...]

I said you would be hearing about Smith from time to time. He spoke tonight, and he used an illustration that I’d never thought of before. His text was Hebrews 7 and other passages in Hebrews……………….about Christ as our great High Priest. He spoke with the enthusiasm that only the young can, [...]

My Power for Today devotional this morning was centered around grace with a reference to the song.  It has been playing through my head all day.  You already know the words, but I’m going to repeat them here, and maybe you’ll sing them for the next 8 or 12 hours!    And that’s a [...]

Last year, I followed a structured daily Bible reading schedule and stayed with it the whole year.  Once December 31st came and went, I started being lax and am now having to discipline myself.  I didn’t know what I wanted to do this year and, in trying to decide, got a little lazy.  But I’m [...]

SMILES

After a rainy morning, the sun came out, all bright and cheery.
A brisk 30-minute walk this afternoon.
Elisa came by to visit.
Making good on my promise to spend one of the first quiet hours of my day in devotion and Bible study.
The simplicity with which some Biblical passages hit me square between the eyes.  (II Chronicles 20:12 [...]

I haven’t been at my best the last few weeks; sort of in a slump.  Partly due to not feeling well, among other things.  This morning I found myself walking across the parking lot at church with my head down looking at my feet and not feeling especially cheerful.  Then I kind of shook myself [...]
