Good morning.

I wanted to take a moment as I began the day to wish each of our readers a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am so thankful for each of you who follow this little blog on a regular basis.  Thanks for your loyal readership. Thanks for sharing it with others  And thanks to those who take the time to comment, ask questions or offer suggestions.  I appreciate it.

We’re taking the rest of the week to enjoy the holiday with our children and grandchildren.  But I wanted to share one of my favorite Thanksgiving poems by an unknown author entitled.  “Thank You, God, for a Hundred Things.”  Hope you enjoy it.  Have a great day. Continue reading →

Yesterday was Veterans Day in the United States. But it is celebrated as a holiday today.

Known in other countries as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, it celebrates the conclusion of major hostilities of World War I on the 11th hour, of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918.

In honor of our military, all non-essential federal offices will be closed. No mail is delivered. And federal workers receive a paid holiday. Many towns have parades or other events honoring veterans. Some businesses offer discounts to those who served in the military.

We are now four months into this new chapter of our lives combining travel with ministry and preaching opportunities. We have been to 16 states and 8 countries.

I have been blessed to preach 43 times and teach 18 classes. Currently, we are enjoying the Blue Ridge Mountains as we travel to Kettering, Ohio, for a gospel meeting. Following that, we’re headed to the Smoky Mountains and I will preach in Cosby, Tennessee, on October 21.

In November we will return to Florida and spend the month in Pinellas County and are scheduled to speak for the Henderson Boulevard church on the 4th and then speak one Sunday at the Skyview Church. Continue reading →

In a recent interview with CBN News, Dr James Dobson issued this warning, “May we be careful with the way we speak and think and talk against those who are opposed to everything we believe. You have to maintain a spirit of charity and love, and God will bless us if we do.

Dobson’s words ring particularly true this morning as I read from James 3 this sobering admonition. “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.” Continue reading →

There is a war raging today. It is intense. Aggressive. And intrusive. It affects all of  us. None of us are exempt from the attacks and assaults we are facing today that impacts our lives on all fronts.

Now, the war is not what you may think it is. Continue reading →
