It was brought up immediately this morning when I awaited the last member of our group of men to arrive for our breakfast at the “golf club”, which serves the cheapest breakfast around town. I walked over to pick up some condiments. A man doing the same meant that I could use the time toContinue reading “DOWNGRADED”

SHE / THEY WERE SO EXCITED!
The other morning we were about to leave when I spotted two elderly ladies sitting in another section of that classy diner. I stopped to greet them, and as usual said, “Good morning ladies! Have a blessed day! ‘This is the day that the Lord hath made and I am going to rejoice and beContinue reading “SHE / THEY WERE SO EXCITED!”
MR. KILLDEER
As I made the turn on the light, I was attracted to a few birds that I had never seen before. I tried to keep my attention on driving as well as observing them sufficiently to be able to study them later. The black and white made me chuckle as I envisioned their readiness forContinue reading “MR. KILLDEER”
A FUN STORY
Now and again you hear a story that seems too perfect to believe. However, the element of truth springs forward in your thinking like an athlete on a trampoline. This one came from a group of guys, sitting around a fire, eating their lunch. “Last night my son and I were in a heated discussion. Continue reading “A FUN STORY”
HAIL
A relaxing evening seemed ideal. It had been hot and humid and the forecast was for monsoon weather and thunderstorms across the valley.

We have lots of “professors”, those who identify themselves as Christians but live like the “devil”.

As Jewish peopleContinue reading “A BELIEF THAT BEHAVES”
A JOYFUL NOISE
Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before His presence with singing. Psalm 100:2 I recall so well when I memorized the 100th Psalm. It seems like eternity ago, but I tried repeating it the other day from memory and got “hung up” right toward the end on a couple of words. I was ashamed of myself. ReadingContinue reading “A JOYFUL NOISE”
HONEY IN THE ROCK
I was reading Psalm 81, when suddenly, I realized I had stopped reading and was singing. Fortunately, no one was listening to me but the Lord, and He knew I was doing my best, which was not so good. But here I was a crooning that old song: “Oh! There’s Honey in the Rock myContinue reading “HONEY IN THE ROCK”
REJOICE
It might be as old as the hills (like my age), but when I heard it the first time, almost 40 years ago, it was like a major discovery. Bill Pierce, on his evening program said, “My mother had a motto pinned above her kitchen sink that said: “Not Somehow, But TRIUMPHANTLY!” There are thoseContinue reading “REJOICE”
