These were a few of the nifty tricks I used to get through school. My strategy was, let someone else do the boring study, all I need is the right answers. Several of my “good” friends would pass their completed algebra exam back to me before the final bell. I would just write the answer …

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: Lesson From A Woodpecker
We call our lake place Shalom (Peace). In 2017 we had a 45’ x 30’ heavy steel carport built for our 5th wheel RV. Several years ago, it started. From around 7am to 9 or 10am there will be a ratty-tat-tat sound, much like a high-pitched jackhammer outside on the metal roof. You guessed it, …
Law of the Farm: The Soil – Part 1
A few weeks ago, I went to Carlisle, Arkansas where my grandpa raised rice. This is one of his fields. Not only did this immigrant from Denmark learn to raise rice, but this is where he taught my dad to be an incredible farmer. The soil, or as my dad affectionately called it, the ground, …
God School: It’s Personal…
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 …
