Accounting is a science of processes, rules, facts and order. When the process is done correctly, everything balances. If your numbers don’t balance, something is wrong. Accounting has no feeling. It’s just facts. Close does not count. It was around 2 AM when the bright idea struck me. For hours I had been trying to …

God School Lab, “The Pain Had A Purpose”
It seemed like an ordinary Fall Day at the lake. I had returned from lunch and was walking to the RV when I fell. I heard the snap as my knees hit the ground. I broke my leg (femur). I was by myself, lying in the slow falling rain. In the past, I had ridiculed …
Pop Test…
Remember that sinking feeling when your teacher said, “We are going to have a Pop Test today”? Usually the response was, “that’s not fair” or “we didn’t know” but, in reality, we knew we were not prepared. And that is the purpose of the “Pop Test” …for us to stop kidding ourselves. The fact is, …
Just When You Thought Nothing Was Working Out…
What followed after the Resurrection of Jesus was so powerful and personal. "After His (Jesus) suffering, He presented Himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive.

I was a young man in my late teens. I believed I knew it all. We called it “bullet proof”. My parents gave me a wide range of freedom to make decisions. They taught me right - wrong and they lived out those principles. My dad taught me so much. As a farmer, his ways …

If You Have Never Gone Hunting Or Fishing…
It begins with being "invited". It's personal. The invitation comes from the heart to share a special experience. The experience found in the quiet, still moments of sitting on a stand or in the boat. Many times the experience begins before daylight...getting into position. It is in those special moments you hear sounds you have …
Can You Trust It?
This became a default question when I broke my leg 3 ½ years ago. I never thought too much about handrails & grab bars before. I was self-sufficient & strong. Now, at 77, I look for 2 things, where are the handrails & are they secure? Having a handrail give way under my weight can …
TGN Started 3.15.2020 With….
“Good morning. All over the world today...people are focused on one thing..."the virus and me". The concerns and worries of what will happen...” What happened all over the world during that time was historic. Everything shut down! People went from “Busy & Overwhelmed” to sitting at home in fear. The To-Do list no longer mattered. …
“If You Would Have Told Me…”
...I would be texting messages = "I will never have a smart phone or send text messages." ...Get up around 5am to write a morning devotional = "I can't do that. I barely got through school." ...I would send out over 203,000+ TGN's over 4 years = "That will never happen." ...Create 1,000+ Today's Good …
