I had my 40th High School reunion over the weekend. It was really good to see those I went through high school with and those I went all twelve years with – the elementary and Jr. High classmates. Continue reading

Give to Get
I remember when my children would do extraordinary chores around the house.
They might sweep and mop the floor, wash all the clothes, or wash the vehicles.
Then came the announcement of what was done. Continue reading
What will you see?
Everyone is sinful.
Each of us is born with the ability to sin and each of us use that ability. Continue reading

I am a child!
Last week’s church camp was a great week. I was privileged to have Jared as the other represented church in my cabin with me. Jared is also my neighbor right across the road and this was his first time to ever go to church camp. Continue reading
Life Changing Events
Good morning from Daniel Springs church camp.
Last night the camp pastor spoke on time. As I listened I began to think about the stories my grandparents use to talk about.
Most of us will remember life changing events – for them it was The Great Depression.
My grandmother would not toss out a small bowl of purple-hull peas. Things were so bad and food was scarce.
I heard about the scarcity of jobs and working all day for 50 cents.
It was there life changing event.
In my lifetime there have been many things that have changed the way I live and think.
Man landed on the moon in the late 1960’s. Abortion was made legal in the early 1970’s and same-sex marriage in 2015.
September 11, 2001 changed all of us and our view of Islam.
Now I can reminisce about where I lived and went to school. I could talk about friends and places. But above all the dates and events that have transpired in my lifetime, January 15, 1975 sticks out above all.
That was the day I was born-again by accepting Jesus as my Savior.
It’s the event I should talk about the most.
It’s the event I should talk about most with my grandchildren.
It is the life changing event that I need to tell everyone about.
It’s the event that my mind should think on the most.
“Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:2
The Sin Difference
Not all sin was treated the same under the Mosaic Law. Granted sin is sin and all sin is ultimately punishable by death but under the Law not all sin was given a death penalty. Continue reading
Lukewarm, uncaring, and unloving
I often blame Christian’s for many problems that exist today. Christian’s have sat back and slowly watch as protection of the law was given to those things directly spoken about as sinful in God’s word. Continue reading

Pilate said to them, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” Matt 27:22
Getting to know someone!
I remember many, many years ago a young man was going to appear in Livingston, Texas for a concert. A church has scheduled him to sing in the sanctuary. The young man wasn’t famous, at least I had never heard of him and I was in Christian radio at the time. Continue reading
