God School: Just Sitting In Class, Sucking Air
Do you ever look back and mentally kick yourself? It was 60 years ago, my Spring semester at Arkansas A & M (now UAM) when I was sitting in Dr. Culpepper’s Botany class. I had chosen Ag-Business as my major. Little did I know how the events & choices over the next 60 years would …

God School: Panning For God’s Gold Nuggets
God School: Panning For God’s Gold Nuggets It was late one afternoon as I walked Molly & Maggie, our dachshunds, at the RV campground. The man sitting at his campfire invited me over to share his fire. I learned he & his wife were retired and were full time RV’ers. He then went on to …
God School: Lab Lesson – “Waiting On God”
I don’t know about you but “Patience”…waiting on God has been an on-going struggle. One morning while I was getting dressed for work, I prayed for patience. By the time I was going down the stairs I got slammed. As my foot hit the bottom step I announced, “I’m never praying for patience again!” I …
God School: Knowing…
I remember the time I fooled my mom. I did a phone prank one afternoon. I used my “radio” voice as a disguise. When she answered the phone, I told her I was Billy Bob from “Dialing for Dollars.” I asked her to guess a number and of course she won. I told mom she …

God School: Why Do Bad Things Happen?
Storms leave aftermath and destruction. If you have not been there…you will. Life has storms that tear apart and disrupt our lives. Storms always bring pain and loss. Storms are scary. Storms reveal to us that no matter who we are or how powerful we think we are, the storm cannot be controlled. God is …
Law of the Farm: The Farm Shop
Every farm has a shop. This is where everyone assembles at the beginning of the day. In the winter dad would bring the equipment in that needed repairing or updating. The shop had all the necessary tools and equipment to make the repairs throughout the year. My favorite tool was the acetylene torch. When a …
