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: A Tomb Of The Time
My trip to Israel in 2014 challenged two beliefs I once had. The first was a manger during the time of the birth of Jesus. It’s far different than the carved manger on our mantel. The other was of a tomb & burial customs during the time of the death and burial of our Lord …
God School: A Classroom That Jesus Used
In 2014 I had the incredible experience of being in Israel with our church. We ended our last day full day in Israel at the Mount of Olives & Garden of Gethsemane. History was made 2,000 years ago this week, and what a week it was. He, Jesus, knew it was His last week on …
God School: What To Do With Anger?
Anger… there just seems to be opportunities everywhere. You name the subject and you can find someone that is offended and angry. And if you are not angry with them, they get angry at you! Social media has given our culture a megaphone to scream at people for their opinions. My dad & I had …
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: What Is It?
Unlike many of the “world’s laws, God’s Law of the Farm is simple and works every time. It has been in existence since creation. It has never failed. And like God’s Word, never changes. The law says, “A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7 When my dad wanted to harvest rice in one field, …
God School: “Sleepless”
It’s 3am and you can’t sleep. The question has been creeping up on you for the last few weeks…you can’t seem to shake it. “Is this all there is?” Afterall, you have worked hard and have been very successful. You are respected by your peers. You have achieved financial success and want nothing. People seek …
Will It Be Enough?
I started using “Cliff Notes” in high school when we studied Shakespear & Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. I used Cliff Notes because the material was hard to understand, I didn’t like to read, it took too much time and country boys don’t do things that are not manly. “Cliff Notes” enabled me to gleen enough information …
Who Can Interrupt Your Schedule?
This question came up in a recent BSF group discussion. It’s a very profound question. Whose call will you always take? Who do you give the authority to interrupt your schedule? When we say we don’t have time, is that really true? Will you rearrange your schedule for a doctor, spouse, child, or grandchild? Of …
God School: “I Just Thought I Knew…”
I remember when I thought I had it down…all figured out. I was charting my own course. Poor grades and even flunking out of college after 3 years didn’t phase me. From age 18 – 37, I lived in my apex of brilliance. Failure was just part of the process. My theme song was “I …
