Growing up in rural Arkansas one pastime was driving the gravel country roads. These adventure trips usually started out around 9pm at Sammy’s Drive Inn with several guys in one car. After we got our cokes, we would take off in some general direction with no real purpose. Interestingly country roads can all look alike, …

Law of the Farm: God’s Unchangeable Law
These 3 pictures capture almost a hundred years in farming. The top picture is my mom & dad in their early years of farming. Note the steel tractor tires. When I first started going to the farm in the late 50’s we had rubber tires as seen in middle picture of my dad on his …
God School: Lab – Being Presentable!
When I was growing up my mother always asked, “Have you got clean underwear on? Make sure they don’t have holes in them.” I have discovered this was a common question for moms with little boys growing up in the 50’s & 60’s. When I think about it, mother must have accepted a known fact, …
God School: Lab Sesson – “Don’t Over Think It”
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. …

God School: “What’s On The Test?”
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 …

I hear, see, or think of something awesome, great & fun, and not long after “BOOM!” something happens to bust the ballon. Many times, the busted ballon of hope resulted from my poor choices. But sometimes it was just life. …

God School: Knowledge Or Wisdom?
It’s graduation season. From grade school to advanced college degrees, people are celebrating the acquisition of knowledge. It has required much time & study… stuffing information into their brains hoping to retrieve it in such a way to pass the test. It leaves us with a sense of, “I’ve got this!” Probably at no other …
God School: What Do You See?
Fog, unlike other weather phenomenon’s gives me pause… a feeling of closeness. This morning when we woke at Lake Conway we were covered in fog. As I looked toward the lake, I noticed what I didn’t see…millions of stumps. Most of the stumps will be underwater when the lake is refilled. But the stumps are …
God School: Seek?
“Look it up!” Oh, how I hated that phrase. I usually responded with, “Come on, just tell me the answer!” This became much of my lifelong attribute. It’s a practice I see all too often today. Good people, so busy with no time to “search” or “seek” the truth. People coming to church with a …
God School: WARNING
I first started ignoring “WARNINGS” when I was a child. I could not wait to tear off the “Do Not Remove Under Penalty Of Law" tags from our pillows. I was living in the danger zone…a law breaker. This made my mother nervous. Have you noticed how many “Warning” messages we get every day? Last …
