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: 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 …
God School: A Broken Chooser
These were the colors of the speedometer in my folks Oldsmobile Super 88. Oh my, it was a tank. I was an 18-year-old driver, in full control and bullet proof. At 0 to 35 mph the speedometer had a green bar. It changed to yellow at 35 mph, then orange at 50 to 65 mph …
God School: God’s Lab Session – Where Do I Draw My Value?
I was 6 or 7 years old when we lived in DeWitt, Arkansas. I had been begging mom for weeks about a pair of red cowboy boots. I visualized myself wearing those snappy red cowboy boots on my first day in the second grade. I knew they would be a hit. Finally, mother & I …
