God School: You Got To “Beat ’em” To “Clean ’em”
Friday was one of my favorite days in grade school. Usually, around 3 o’clock our teacher would announce who had eraser duty. Oh, what a privilege to be picked. A classmate & I would take the box of erasers outside to bang the erasers on the screen device removing the chalk from the erasers. I …

God School?

“Do You Know?”
It’s the question that stirs anxiety. It’s the “in between time” of the doctor saying, “it could be…” and the doctor saying days later, “the test reveals….” It’s the time delay between taking the test and when the scores are posted. It’s the not-knowing. Our todays are full of unknowns. But are they? Think about …
