Where do you go…what do you do when the crisis happens? All public buildings have a fire alarm system. They do two things: alert everyone in the building of the emergency and contact the local fire station of the fire emergency. The fire alarm activates the planned response. In school we had fire drills to …

“He’s On My Trail and I’m Exhausted…”
Growing up and hunting in Arkansas there are a couple of good reasons I never encountered a wolf; I was not Davy Crocket because I make too much noise, and I am not a good sign reader. Also, wolves are not common in Arkansas. Wolves are fascinating animals. Unlike us they do not have Wal-Mart(s) …
Why Do We Make It So Hard?
It was the annual Christmas party for the Civitan Center and Civitan Apartments. After a great meal, a local country & gospel group started singing Christmas Carols. They had only played a few songs when Abby (fictious name) walked up to the band and reached for one of the mics. She had not heard her …
“And She Will Have A Handful of Those”
It was our first cup of coffee on a Saturday morning. Mary & I are sitting outside of our daughter’s home, grandson & grand dog sitting when I said, “We need a treat. I’m going up to the donut place.” A few minutes later I was there standing in line. In front of me is …

If they refused, they would be thrown into the fiery furnace. The three young men teach us how to trust …
“But even if…”
How are you under pressure? I don’t mean the self-inflicted pressure associated with busy. No, it’s the kind of pressure that comes as a threat to you or your family. It can be the loss of a relationship, a job, your good standing or even your life. I have found that these situations arise over …
“Oh No…!”
You overslept because you stayed up too late…the dog got out of the fence and you chased it through the neighborhood…you finally got in the shower, got dressed, had an argument about finances with your spouse as you rush out the door and finally you are sitting in the quiet solitude of your car. Then …
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.” …
