Of the four seasons – of earth, not the group or hotel chain – I think autumn is my favorite. Where I live, falls is in full swing. The fierce heat is abating, leaves are changing, and squirrels have become frenetic as they prepare for winter. Christians Have Seasons in God Did you know that, …
Jesus Knows Your Name According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average person’s age in America is 38.1 years. My wife and I have been married longer than most people have been alive! Yikes! One benefit of our long marriage is that I recognize her voice. We can be with a small group of people or …
I read (skimmed) an article in a magazine that my wife receives – she still likes paper. The human-interest story was about a kid that would climb up the tree in his front yard to watch a road construction crew building a road near his home. This was back when all the work was done …
If you get an opportunity, please pray for my sister-in-law. She is getting a new knee today. If the Bible reveals God’s will for me to do something, then I need to get off my backside and do it. If He’s already said it, he will not likely show me a sign or write it …
