I remember mail calls when I was in the Air Force. When my name was called, I jumped up to grab the letter. The first thing I looked for was the return address. Nothing was more important at the moment, Nothing! Love letters are personal. If you don’t know the person writing, then it doesn’t …

God School?
Several years ago, God gave me the concept of “God School.” What followed was a process that has helped me understand life. God School is composed of The Bible, Classroom Lectures, Study and Life-Lab. I believe Followers of Christ are enrolled in God School when they are “Born Again” (John 3:3,7). 1. The “Textbook” is …
Looking For Truth?
Truth…it’s getting harder to find. Never in mankind’s history have we had so much information. And now with AI, it is next to impossible to determine if what we see or read is true and real or something that has been manufactured. Not knowing creates uncertainty & anxiety. Uncertain & anxious is exactly how I …
“Question Bearing On Need”
This is one of the fundamental Principles taught in the Dale Carnegie Sales Course. It’s the question that gives the conversation focus. It’s the question that must be satisfied. What kind of questions are you chasing an answer for? I remember the lonely nights in college (1965-68), driving gravel roads thinking and talking to myself. …
“Look It Up.”
As with any young lad, I had questions. But the response I really didn’t like was, “Go look it up.” First, I found libraries too warm and stuffy. They put me to sleep. Second, the Dewey Decimal System was too much like a jigsaw puzzle, I just wanted an answer with the least amount of …
“What’s Going To Happen?”
It’s incredible. We have a new and even worse crisis every week. Just when the current crisis begins to lose its fever pitch…BAM! Up pops even bigger crisis. No matter which 24-hour news network you watch remember this, they all have 1 thing in common, “making money” …and nothing sells like fear. Yep! Nothing glues …
Conditions…
I’ve noticed that the older we get the more we watch the weather. The local TV stations lead off with the weather each evening. In fact, a sizable portion of time is spent telling us what the weather has been like and predicting what it might do. When the conditions are good & unchanging, we …
Civil Defense
In Hamburg, Arkansas there was a “Fallout Shelter” sign on the Post Office building. It was a small Post Office that would only hold 50 or so people. I don’t recall any other buildings with this sign. I can only imagine the chaos that would have happened had it become necessary to be used. Growing …
Can I Trust It?
I never thought too much about it before… grab bars are for old people. Welp, I am moving into that phase of life. When we travel, grab bars are one of the first things I look for. In the last 44 days Mary & I have been away from home 22 nights. Nothing causes me …
Law Of The Farm: He Plowed The Beans Up…
A few days after the field of soybeans was planted it rained. It rained so much it flooded the field. Thankfully, we had several days of warm sunshine and wind to dry out the field. I remember the afternoon I walked with dad over the field. It had spotty green patches because only about half …
