On the Farm we never wanted to run out of seed… never. But we also didn’t want to buy too much seed because we did not have a temperature-controlled storage. One afternoon dad sent one of the men to Alice-Sidney Dryer & Seed Co in Dermott, Arkansas to get a pickup truck load of rice …

God School: Sometimes You Have To Pop the Clutch
In the summer of 1965, my folks gave me a blue Volkswagen (Bug). I loved that car. It was so much fun to drive. It was a simple car. It came with an AM radio and air conditioning. Everything else was manual…that included the transmission. I didn’t need jumper cables when the car would not …

Law Of The Farm: The Harvest?
Jesus had much to say about the Law of the Farm. He spoke about sowing, fig trees, the root, the vine, unproductive plants, the seed, shepherd caring & his sheep, and, of course, the mustard seed. Paul spoke of the Fruit of the Spirit. In fact, all through the Bible you will find the Law …
God School: It’s Personal…
I remember mail calls when I was in the Air Force. When my name was called, I jumped up to grab the letter. The first thing I looked for was the return address. Nothing was more important at the moment, Nothing! Love letters are personal. If you don’t know the person writing, then it doesn’t …

God School is composed of The Bible, Classroom Lectures, Study and Life-Lab. I believe Followers of Christ are enrolled in God School when they are “Born Again” (John 3:3,7). 1. The “Textbook” is …
It’s Got Your Name On It!
You get up early to walk along the beach. It’s just you and your thoughts. The crashing of the waves, sand between your toes, sea birds searching for breakfast and the beautiful sunrise all stir your heart. Up ahead you see something sparkling on the shore. As you get closer you recognize it’s a bottle…a …
“If I Had More Time I Would…”
What would you do if you had more time? May I suggest studying God’s Word? Did you know a study of 40,000 people by the Center of Bible Engagement found that after reading the Bible four or more times each week “Loneliness dropped 30%, Anger issues dropped 32%, Bitterness in relationships dropped 40%, Alcohol consumption …
“Peace On Earth, Good Will To Men…”
Peace…what is it? Do you have it? Where can I get it? Peace on earth is part of the Christmas tradition. Google defines “Peace” as, “freedom from disturbance; tranquility,” “a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended.” But if you examine history, there has not been much peace. …
Hands That…
Little boys find things to do. I was around 5 years old when we lived on the farm. Our house was about 50 to 75 yards from the shop. In between the house and the shop was a pasture where I played dodge the patties. On this morning dad and the men had been repairing …
