These were a few of the nifty tricks I used to get through school. My strategy was, let someone else do the boring study, all I need is the right answers. Several of my “good” friends would pass their completed algebra exam back to me before the final bell. I would just write the answer …

God School: Knowledge Or Wisdom?
It’s graduation season. From grade school to advanced college degrees, people are celebrating the acquisition of knowledge.

God School: What Do You See?
In 2024 I had cataract surgery. Before surgery I thought I could see pretty well. The doctor asked me if I needed more light to drive and read? “Yes,” I replied, “because they don’t make the lights bright anymore.” In my mind I was doing simply fine, but I did the surgery anyway. It was …
God School: “Let’s Take A Walk”
This picture was taken in the deep red pine forest of Northwest Minnesota. The mornings were crisp, a good time to take a walk. No phones, no distractions from God’s creation. A time to be still and know that He is God (Ps 46:10). It’s good to be alone with God. In fact, it’s essential. …

In the summer of 1965, my folks gave me a blue Volkswagen (Bug). I loved that car. It was so much fun to drive. It was a simple car. It came with an AM radio and air conditioning. Everything else was manual…that included the transmission. I didn’t need jumper cables when the car would not …

God School: It’s Personal…
I remember mail calls when I was in the Air Force. When my name was called, I jumped up to grab the letter. The first thing I looked for was the return address. Nothing was more important at the moment, Nothing! Love letters are personal. If you don’t know the person writing, then it doesn’t …
Law of the Farm: The Secret Is In The Seed
This is a rice seed. It came from a field where my grandpa raised rice in the 1940’s. It’s pretty small but God uses the least likely to teach His Principles. These Principles are timeless. It’s called Wisdom. Do you find yourself working harder & longer for less? Do you find it harder & harder …
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 …
