I didn’t understand 25 years ago when my mother said, ‘Where did the time go?” But at 79, I know exactly what she was talking about. Last weekend made it even more clear…time has moved on. It struck me as Mary & I drove into the parking lot of the May Branch Inn. BAM! This …

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 …
God School: “Cling”
It’s the dark of the night…you are alone…the storm winds are blowing…what do you do? This is life! We can find ourselves out at sea on a small boat…sitting in a hospital room…sitting in a courtroom…or staring at unpaid bills. But eventually everyone will find themselves in the dark, lonely place. As I was preparing …

It’s a once …

God School: Learn How To Have Beautiful Flowers
Would you like to learn how to have beautiful flowers in your yard? Maybe you have said, “I don’t have a green thumb like Mary.” You may even say, “I don’t have time to plant & water.” But what if Mary could show you another way you could have pretty flowers in your yard with …

God School: Panning For God’s Gold Nuggets
God School: Panning For God’s Gold Nuggets It was late one afternoon as I walked Molly & Maggie, our dachshunds, at the RV campground. The man sitting at his campfire invited me over to share his fire. I learned he & his wife were retired and were full time RV’ers. He then went on to …
God School: Knowing…
I remember the time I fooled my mom. I did a phone prank one afternoon. I used my “radio” voice as a disguise. When she answered the phone, I told her I was Billy Bob from “Dialing for Dollars.” I asked her to guess a number and of course she won. I told mom she …
Law of the Farm: Seed Explains Dead-To-Self
“If only” I had taken advantage of the opportunity I might have recognized what God was telling me. One of my majors when I went to college, the first time, was Ag-Business. I remember sitting in Botany class thinking, “Nothing exciting here!” How wrong I was. Over the last 20 years God has been revealing …
