God School: Finding The Missing Piece
One “Life Lesson” I learned in God School classroom. It was one morning watching a man put a 1,000-piece puzzle together. He was incredible. He could put a puzzle together in a few hours. On this morning, I watched from a distance as he looked at the picture on the box cover… then looked down …

God School: Did You Hear It?
Today’s lesson in God’s School is, “What Are You Listening For?” This morning, when it was barely light at the lake, I was walking our four-legged daughter, Lizzy, when I heard the orchestra warming up.

God School: The Question Baring On A Need, “Who are you looking for?”

Question, who do you think will have a better day, the 2 boys who recognize God’s fingerprints in their life or the scholar trying to prove God didn’t perform miracles? When I was in the first & second garde we lived in the country. It was about a ¼ mile walk down a dirt/gravel road. …
