We usually follow it with this scripture from Proverbs 26:19 “I was only joking!” Yep, there ya go, thousands of years ago King Solomon told us, “What has been will be again, what …

“What’s The Answer?”
There I sat…It was the semester test in 9th grade algebra with 10 minutes before the bell and my test paper was almost empty. I didn’t then, nor do I now understand why I need letters to solve a math problem. But here I was. I needed answers. By the time my buddy handed me …

“I’ve Got A Secret!”
The sooner a person learns, “Don’t ask why, just do as you’re told,” in basic training the better. I was the only one in our group told to report to this specific room. When the sergeant shut the door, it was all business. He told us to fill out the forms of everywhere we had …
Nematodes?
It was November 17, 2023, at 3:30 am when I suddenly woke up with a word on my mind. That word was NEMATODES. (God was planting the seed for this message a year later.) Chances are you have no idea what the word means. It’s been over 60 years since I heard the word, nematodes. …

I Was On The Safety Patrol
I was in junior high when I was asked to join the “Safety Patrol.” I remember the excitement of getting out of school early to attend the orientation where we received our “Safety Belt Sash,” the “Stop Sign” (8’ cane pole with a stop flag fastened on it) and our “Safety Patrol” badge. Boy, that …
Is It Professional or Personal?
People are relational. The question is, what is the nature of the relationship? I have had more professional relationships in my life than personal. Professional relationships have a common bond found through work, school, church, organizations, and many others. Professional relationships may have some of the same characteristics of caring, empathy, and knowing personal details, …
“Catch Anything?”
This one of my treasured possessions. It’s an early picture of my dad and his catch. Like most farmers, when there was time, the only hobby he had was hunting & fishing. I still have dad’s old tackle box with his lures and a small bottle of iodine (for young readers, this was the standard …
