This morning my dear friend John, who advises me on my Law of the Farm posts, said something that caused every man at the table to pause and reflect. Each Wednesday morning a small group of men share breakfast & life at B J’s Café in NLR. His question was, “How do you show your …

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 …
Who Can Interrupt Your Schedule?
This question came up in a recent BSF group discussion. It’s a very profound question. Whose call will you always take? Who do you give the authority to interrupt your schedule? When we say we don’t have time, is that really true? Will you rearrange your schedule for a doctor, spouse, child, or grandchild? Of …
“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 …

“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 …
“Oh No…!”
You overslept because you stayed up too late…the dog got out of the fence and you chased it through the neighborhood…you finally got in the shower, got dressed, had an argument about finances with your spouse as you rush out the door and finally you are sitting in the quiet solitude of your car. Then …
Christmas…The Gift?
I remember as a boy watching my parents, aunts & uncles stress all summer over, “What do we get mother (my grandma)?” I remember one Christmas at her house. Her tree was simple. I remember the Christmas candy in the crystal candy dish… same ribbon candy, each piece stuck in the same place, year after …
Where Are You Going?
One of the greatest life differences I recognize since I have retired is…I see things I never noticed before. When I worked, I worked. I woke up working and went to sleep working. I was addicted to multiple tasks, “get ’er done,” BUSY! For years I wore “Busy” as a badge of honor & prestige. …
