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 …
The Power In The Name
Very soon the world will be singing Christmas Carols. Many of them will have Old Testament names for Jesus such as the ones found in Isaiah, “Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, and The Prince of Peace.” But there is so much more behind this. Did you know that “the phrase "in the …
“REPRESENTATIVE! I Want To Speak To A REPRESENTATIVE!”
Just like the dude in the picture I have literally screamed into the phone, “REPRESENTATIVE!” only to hear, “would you like to speak to a representative?” This is usually followed by a series of choices, “Press 1 if you have this situation, Press 2 if you are experiencing this situation, press 3 if…and by the …

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 …
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 …
Ask…
“Yes. What do you want?” “Well God, I need ____!” How do you fill in the blank? Over the years I have asked God for a lot of things… help, wisdom, guidance, and peace. I have prayed & believed John 14:14 “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” …
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 …
