I don’t know about you but “Patience”…waiting on God has been an on-going struggle. One morning while I was getting dressed for work, I prayed for patience. By the time I was going down the stairs I got slammed. As my foot hit the bottom step I announced, “I’m never praying for patience again!” I …

Law of the Farm: The Process of Corn On The Cob
Maybe you are like me. I love fresh corn on the cob. If you are lucky enough to get Esau Farms corn, you will be Blessed. It comes right out to the field in a huge sack. Ready for shucking & eating. But the sack of corn didn’t just happen. Did you know, “corn takes …

God School?
Several years ago, God gave me the concept of “God School.” What followed was a process that has helped me understand life. 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 …
“Yeah, When Pigs Fly!”
Have you given up on someone? Maybe it’s a friend, a family member, your boss, or co-worker that are so set in their ways. Some have given up on the church while others have given up on government and the political process. Today so many people are feeling disenchanted & frustrated. Good News, this is …
“Where Are The Pickles?”
Do you see the pickles? If you are a married man, this is a default question that seems to just roll out of our mouths. As soon as the words leave my lips, my wife of 50 awesome years, will walk over… and like a surgeon snatch the pickles right from where I was looking. …

Can I Trust It?
I never thought too much about it before… grab bars are for old people. Welp, I am moving into that phase of life. When we travel, grab bars are one of the first things I look for. In the last 44 days Mary & I have been away from home 22 nights. Nothing causes me …
Law of the Farm: It’s A Process
One of the unforgiving facts of the farm is...it cannot be hurried. A farmer cannot fly out of bed with his hair-on-fire, run out to the field, jam seeds in the ground, and expect a harvest the next day. You can stand over the planted seed screaming & yelling about your desperate situation, but the …
Lessons From The Farm: His Hands
My dad had massive, callused hands. If he tightened a nut with his hands, you didn’t need a wrench. When my dad was a young boy, he and his dad built their house (probably 90 years ago – still occupied in Carlisle, AR) with their hands. Dad could build whatever he needed out of wood …
God School: The Big Idea
For years I mistakenly thought I had a lot of good ideas. In fact, when they worked, I wanted everyone to know who had the idea. But since I have retired and started writing Today’s Good News, I recognize the ideas, the memories, the scripture pops in my mind are from Him. I call these …
