It was November 17, 2023, at 3:30 am when I suddenly woke up with a word on my mind. That word was NEMATODES. (God was planting the seed for this message a year later.) Chances are you have no idea what the word means. It’s been over 60 years since I heard the word, nematodes. …

How Do You Respond To Warnings?
Yesterday, I got a green light at the intersection. But the driver in the pickup ignored his red light and flew in front of me. It’s dangerous to ignore signs. Question, do you ignore warning signs? Before you say no…did you know the toothpaste tube has a warning, “Keep out of reach of children under …
Do You Ever Feel Insignificant?
When I was growing up there were the football stars, the class Valedictorians, you know the people everyone wanted to be around.

It was 65 years ago this week when my dear friend T-Bo and I were doing what boys love to do, make loud noises & blow things up. It was a Christmas holiday afternoon in my front yard. There we were, kneeling in a heap of firecrackers, lighting & throwing as fast as we could. …

I must have been in the 4th or 5th gradewhen my dad ushered in a big change in my life. Dad had a unique way of testing my attitude. It was always with a question. “What are you doing tomorrow?" On this particular day it was, “Do you want to go with me to the …
How Secure Are You?
The past few years have been unsettling. Businesses that we grew up with no longer exist. Government agencies, leaders and even some churches have experienced integrity failures.

“Tom, Do You Feel Ok?”
It was early one morning after a midnight shift when I was stationed in Turkey. Just outside the operations floor an Air Force medical team had set up a blood donation room. Several of my buddies & I got there early before the big rush. This allowed us to eat cookies, drink orange juice and …
