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. At work people want to be around the high producers, the people of influence. We even see this in church where people are drawn to the Bible scholars & powerful prayers. In all …
God School: Today’s Lesson From The Farm, The Soil
Today is the first Monday of 2025. It could be just like any ordinary Monday…you know, packed with the “Must Do” for the day. But take a moment to consider the simple fact of one basic scientific fact. I asked this opened-ended question in a Google search, “Are there any elements found in the body …

A Strategy Destined For Failure…
When I started my Freshman year at Arkansas A & M, in 1965, I continued my academic strategy of a “Classroom Only” approach. Maybe it was because I was dyslexic (undiagnosed until I was 60 years old) or maybe I just liked the social contact of the classroom, but I found textbooks boring. To compensate …
God School Is Open!
The Headmaster of God School is the Holy Spirit. “The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name (Jesus), will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” John 14:26 God’s desire is for us to love and draw near to Him. This is why God …
“Do You Take…?”
Fifty years ago, Mary & I answered this question with “I do.” Little did either of us know the answers to the conditions of the question. Over the next 50 years we have lived through the conditions of “for richer or poorer”, “in sickness & in health”, “for better or worse”, “to love & cherish”, …
Christmas, The Season of Giving.
Christmas…the season of gift giving. Some people are great gift-givers. A dear friend told me last Sunday, “I start my Christmas shopping right after Christmas.” I will see something and think, “that’s something so & so would like.” Wow! This blew me away. I remember being in a panic on Christmas Eve. I said to …
“Can You Hear?”
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. …
“Oh…The Smell of Christmas!”
I remember walking in the house at Christmas and following the smell into the kitchen of my Aunt & Uncle. Aunt Ma’rella’ (Mary Ella) was my mother’s sister and we spent almost every holiday at their house. There was always great food, but at Christmas they (the sisters) took it to a new level. …
