Truth…it’s getting harder to find. Never in mankind’s history have we had so much information. And now with AI, it is next to impossible to determine if what we see or read is true and real or something that has been manufactured. Not knowing creates uncertainty & anxiety. Uncertain & anxious is exactly how I …

Stuck!
This is a familiar situation on a rice farm at harvest. The field is soft from standing in water most of the summer. Many fields have soft spots. As a young lad growing up on my dad’s rice farm, I stuck a few tractors. But never like this. Never! Dad didn’t find anything funny about …
How Do You Respond?
Everyday…24/7…365 days a year, year after year the Bad News bombards us. One of the songs from the TV Show, Hee-Haw was, “If it weren’t for bad news, we would have no news at all.” Yes, there are bad & evil things happening but… How are you responding? We can follow the role models seen …
“Look It Up.”
As with any young lad, I had questions. But the response I really didn’t like was, “Go look it up.” First, I found libraries too warm and stuffy. They put me to sleep. Second, the Dewey Decimal System was too much like a jigsaw puzzle, I just wanted an answer with the least amount of …
What Could Go Wrong Here?
In the late 1950’s & 60’s it was every boy’s dream to find these under the tree on Christmas morning. One of the interesting things from this era of time…there were no warning labels. Now even our toothpaste has a warning on it. It was a time when people learned from their mistakes. If you …
Conditions…
I’ve noticed that the older we get the more we watch the weather. The local TV stations lead off with the weather each evening. In fact, a sizable portion of time is spent telling us what the weather has been like and predicting what it might do. When the conditions are good & unchanging, we …
The Power of His Word
I thought it was just a regular morning as I opened my Bible. I don’t remember why, but when I read Jerimiah 29:11, it was different. It seemed to jump off the page. I dated the scripture in the margin in my Bible. One month later as I sat in a local restaurant sharing chips …
What the One-Arm Taught Me.
I was a young Airman stationed in Turkey. As I walked into the NCO Club that first night I saw my new teacher. In fact, there was a whole wall of teachers lined up waiting. I heard about them but had never met one. They called me over. My first encounter or lesson was brief …
Prepare Before…
If you are or have been in the military or play competitive sports, there is a certainty… you will experience grueling preparation & training. I use the word grueling because to survive the contact, the preparedness must be physical, mental, and emotional. It must push the limits. In a culture of fewer & fewer participants …
School Is In Session
When I read Proverbs 5:12-13 this morning I knew my assignment. “You will say, “How I hated discipline! How my heart spurned correction! I would not obey my teachers or turn my ear to my instructors.” It’s that time of year when one thing dominates the thoughts, calendars, pocketbooks, and emotions of so many people… …
