One “Life Lesson” I learned in God School classroom. It was one morning watching a man put a 1,000-piece puzzle together. He was incredible. He could put a puzzle together in a few hours. On this morning, I watched from a distance as he looked at the picture on the box cover… then looked down …

God School: The Question Baring On A Need, “Who are you looking for?”
Lizzy can see things Mary & I don’t. The slightest movement catches her attention. But she also uses all her senses (smell, hearing and touch) to search and know what is going on. Once something gets her attention it is difficult to distract her. She is focused. What usually follows is her barking or announcing, …

They were the Best children of William (Willie) and Mary Best. They all got their start in Woodville, Mississippi. After High School, several completed professional training and education.

God School: Lessons From The Past
When Mary Farrar married William (Willie) Best on October 2, 1902, they had no idea that 124 years later 200 people would follow. Picture “1” Willie & Mary with their 5 “Best Kids”, Mary Ella, Josephine, Wilhena, Farrar (my mom) and Francis. These 2 generations are now gone but not forgotten. In their lifetime they …
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: Today’s Lab Session, “Discouragement”
Discouragement…we have all experienced the gut punch of life. I have learned it follows expectation. 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: God Is The God Of Small Things
What do you expect of God? A BSF buddy wrote this week about spending time with his buddies on a camp out. The question of “What do you expect of God?’ resonated long after the campfire went out. But what do you expect from God? Chances are we don’t think too much about it until …
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: Just Sitting In Class, Sucking Air
Do you ever look back and mentally kick yourself? It was 60 years ago, my Spring semester at Arkansas A & M (now UAM) when I was sitting in Dr. Culpepper’s Botany class. I had chosen Ag-Business as my major. Little did I know how the events & choices over the next 60 years would …
