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 …

God School: Connecting The Pieces
The longer I’m enrolled in God School the more I am amazed at Him. One of His amazing ways is how He orchestrates people, situations, and His Word to accomplish His Plan. Most of the time it is late in the game when I recognize His fingerprints that reveal He’s already been here. It was …
God School: A Song of Ascents
It was a time of high anxiety, uncertainty, persecution, and turmoil. That was what life was like when people and Jesus climbed these steps to the Temple Mount. I learned, when I went to Israel, and took this picture, the custom was to recite from Psalms the “songs of Ascents.” You can find these in …

Some see storms, floods, destruction, and loss. And others see bright, warm, sunny days. What do you see? In reality, it will be some of both. But at the core, how we deal with both will be determined by what our heart tells us. Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so …
“If I Had More Time I Would…”
What would you do if you had more time? May I suggest studying God’s Word? Did you know a study of 40,000 people by the Center of Bible Engagement found that after reading the Bible four or more times each week “Loneliness dropped 30%, Anger issues dropped 32%, Bitterness in relationships dropped 40%, Alcohol consumption …
What Could It Be?
A gift comes with many questions. “What is it?” “Is it something I want?” “Did I give the person a gift of equal or greater value?", “What if I don’t want the gift?” and on and on. But gifts, those special gifts that touch your heart…the gift that will last a lifetime are directly connected …
“Do You Know?”
It’s the question that stirs anxiety. It’s the “in between time” of the doctor saying, “it could be…” and the doctor saying days later, “the test reveals….” It’s the time delay between taking the test and when the scores are posted. It’s the not-knowing. Our todays are full of unknowns. But are they? Think about …
“Just ignore it…it’ll go away!”
It’s Sunday and Monday morning is coming. The alarm will go off, and you will hit the floor running. After the chaos of everyone getting dressed & off to school and work, you stop at the drive-thru to get your daily caffeine push with a “Blondie” brew. You come through the doors at work like …
