Fog, unlike other weather phenomenon’s gives me pause… a feeling of closeness. This morning when we woke at Lake Conway we were covered in fog. As I looked toward the lake, I noticed what I didn’t see…millions of stumps. Most of the stumps will be underwater when the lake is refilled. But the stumps are …

God School: Seek?
“Look it up!” Oh, how I hated that phrase. I usually responded with, “Come on, just tell me the answer!” This became much of my lifelong attribute. It’s a practice I see all too often today. Good people, so busy with no time to “search” or “seek” the truth. People coming to church with a …
God School: WARNING
I first started ignoring “WARNINGS” when I was a child. I could not wait to tear off the “Do Not Remove Under Penalty Of Law" tags from our pillows. I was living in the danger zone…a law breaker. This made my mother nervous. Have you noticed how many “Warning” messages we get every day? Last …
God School: “Cling”
It’s the dark of the night…you are alone…the storm winds are blowing…what do you do? This is life! We can find ourselves out at sea on a small boat…sitting in a hospital room…sitting in a courtroom…or staring at unpaid bills. But eventually everyone will find themselves in the dark, lonely place. As I was preparing …
God School: Only Clean Feet Allowed!
Growing up in Hamburg, Arkansas, I learned to swim in the Crossett City Pool. Our parents took turns shuttling a carload to Crossett during the summers. As we plied in the car, sometimes 7 or 8 of us, our bathing suits were rolled up in our towels with the ends inserted so it would not …
God School: Lesson From A Woodpecker
We call our lake place Shalom (Peace). In 2017 we had a 45’ x 30’ heavy steel carport built for our 5th wheel RV. Several years ago, it started. From around 7am to 9 or 10am there will be a ratty-tat-tat sound, much like a high-pitched jackhammer outside on the metal roof. You guessed it, …
God School: Now What?
Sunday was High School Graduation Day for our grandson, Troy. When the mortarboards flew into the air, life changed forever. This life-changing event will be repeated all over the country in the next few weeks. All will celebrate the present that is nestled between treasured memories and the uncertainties of the future. It’s a once …
God School: God Is The God Of Small Things
What do you expect of God? A BSF buddy wrote this week about spending time with his buddies on a camp out. The question of “What do you expect of God?’ resonated long after the campfire went out. But what do you expect from God? Chances are we don’t think too much about it until …
God School: What Do You See?
In 2024 I had cataract surgery. Before surgery I thought I could see pretty well. The doctor asked me if I needed more light to drive and read? “Yes,” I replied, “because they don’t make the lights bright anymore.” In my mind I was doing simply fine, but I did the surgery anyway. It was …
God School: What Are You Going For?
This is an age-old question? Why do you go to church? In our Bible Study Fellowship study, Exile & Return, the Book of Malachi raised this question. The Israelites (Jews) had rebuilt the Temple and had experienced a Spiritual awakening. But as time went on & on and things didn’t happen as they thought they …
