I don’t remember the first time I set up my “Username & Password,” but it seems that most of my adult life has been a series of Usernames & Passwords. At first, I thought it was silly. I didn’t know any dark secrets or vast amounts of assets that needed protecting nor was I conducting …

“Running Around Like A Chicken With His Head Cut Off!”
I must have been 5 or 6 years old the morning my aunt told my cousins & me, “Go pick out a chicken for supper tonight.” Like a well-choreographed dance move she took the chicken in one hand and the hatchet in the other and as she brought the chicken down onto the chopping block, …

“Let Me Go…Let Me Go!”
Some of my first memories of my Mother’s relationship with Jesus were: That night we were driving back from Carlisle. I was in the front seat with mom & dad as she began to sing, “I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses…” I must have been 4 or …
The Choice…
The BSF study of Revelation has been incredible. Amid the mystery, the unanswered questions, the terrible wrath that awaits unbelievers and the Glory of God, one of my discussion brothers crystalized it all this morning. “We have a choice of who we serve, Him (Jesus) or me.” As I look back on my life, I …
Heads or Tails
Today it is common to hear, “God is love. He wouldn’t send anyone hell.” I believe that to be correct. I also hear “God is a God of judgment. God will not allow any sin to go unpunished.” I also believe this to be correct. A paradox. First, God is a God of love. In …
Where Are We…Where Are We Going?
Growing up we only had paper maps. One Christmas mom, dad & I, went to see my brother, Gene, who was stationed in San Antonio. Being the young lad, I sat in the back and watched & listened. According to dad, the streets in San Antonio were laid out wrong. They lacked common sense. Lost …
Lesson From The Pig Pen
My junior year in college I chaired the annual Sadie Hawkins Weekend. We decided to have a “greased pig” contest, and the college agreed to donate the pig. A greased pig contest is when a good and slippery greased down, pig is put into a pen and students try to catch the pig for a …
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 …
With God, “Nothing-Just-Happens!” – Christmas
There is no one like Jesus. Many religions proclaim an authority figure, a god-like person, but none like Jesus. God Almighty spoke prophecies through multiple people over thousands of years, foretelling the birth, life & death of Jesus. This can only be described as miraculous. Before God performed the countless miracles, He told us in …

When You Run Out Of Track…
Do you ever feel like you don’t measure up? Of course you do. I remember having a conversation with my boss after I turned in my team evaluations. She said, “You rated your people too high.” I asked her, “Where do you start on the rating scale, at the bottom and work up or at …
