The sooner a person learns, “Don’t ask why, just do as you’re told,” in basic training the better. I was the only one in our group told to report to this specific room. When the sergeant shut the door, it was all business. He told us to fill out the forms of everywhere we had …

How Do You Respond To Warnings?
Yesterday, I got a green light at the intersection. But the driver in the pickup ignored his red light and flew in front of me. It’s dangerous to ignore signs. Question, do you ignore warning signs? Before you say no…did you know the toothpaste tube has a warning, “Keep out of reach of children under …
God School: Today’s Lesson From The Farm, The Soil
Today is the first Monday of 2025. It could be just like any ordinary Monday…you know, packed with the “Must Do” for the day.

“Do You Take…?”
Fifty years ago, Mary & I answered this question with “I do.” Little did either of us know the answers to the conditions of the question. Over the next 50 years we have lived through the conditions of “for richer or poorer”, “in sickness & in health”, “for better or worse”, “to love & cherish”, …

I Chose To Be A Flute-Tooter
Life is interesting. I have noticed that the major turning points in my life usually look insignificant. It was a typical fall morning when I was 14 in the 9th grade. The senior high football coach had assembled the 9th grade football players, which I was one, in a room to make a decision. He …
The Power of ONE!
Do you ever feel like you can’t make a difference? Do you ever self-talk, “I’m only one person, what could I do?” “I don’t have ____ like other people have.” Flash, this thinking did not come from God! I know this because it would violate God’s Law of the Farm. I believe God used His …
