What Are We Going to Do?
Have you ever said or acted in a way contrary to your stated convictions? Have you ever, at any time in the past or maybe even in the present, behaved in a way that was or is contrary to godliness or living Christ-like? Have you ever become caught up in a group conversation and spoke … Continue reading What Are We Going to Do?
We Need to Talk
Anytime I hear these words I panic a little. My heart rate increases, my blood pressure elevates, my forehead and palms start perspiring some, I have to loosen my collar, and take a deep breathe then release a sigh. The words, "we need to talk" almost always mean bad news. Am I in trouble? Have … Continue reading We Need to Talk

There are days I feel afflicted, perplexed, driven to despair, persecuted, and struck down. There are times when I feel as if a business has … Continue reading I am not Finished Yet
Mom and Dad
I ran across this note. I think it is from your child. I think these are some things that they want you to know, but do not know how to tell you, so they wrote them down. They must have misplaced them, and now that I have their words in my hands, I think I … Continue reading Mom and Dad

Ten Things to Think About
About 4 years ago I heard Vance Hutton share a message entitled "Things to Remember." I wrote his list in the back leaf of my Bible and every once in a while I look back at it.
