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.

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 …
