The Book

It’s been given to us

A book that’s passed on

Family to family

Father to Son

From the Son to the world

Though the world rejects

The Truth of this book

Is a Truth that reflects

The ALPHA-OMEGA

Beginning and end

Love and hate

Repentance of sin

Humanity argues

Vanity strong

Hating each other

Passionately wrong

Admit you’re a sinner

Strangely you’ll see

That Satan’s as clever

As clever can be

But God does not lie,

Deceive or pretend

This book has been given

To glorify Him.

Where’s Your Passport?

What Happens on the Airplane – Stays on the Airplane

I have been to Europe many times – mostly as a teacher leading students and adults on educational tours.  As a history teacher, nerd, travel junkie, and yes…a glutton for punishment, this is just my kind of thing!

Packaged in Love

How to Choose a Gift

My mother gave gifts based on what she wanted to do.

She might zero in on a particular grandchild for Christmas and do something really special for them – like build a doll house.

Oh, everyone got gifts, don’t misunderstand. But, my mom thought about the person she was gifting, reflected on their personality, added some of her own, threw it all in a bag, shook it up, tossed it out, and…VOILA!  Your present from my mother magically appeared. Continue reading Packaged in Love

Built Upon Shifting Sands

Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain fell, the rivers rose, and the winds blew and pounded that house. Yet it didn’t collapse, because its foundation was on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain fell, the rivers rose, the winds blew and pounded that house, and it collapsed. It collapsed with a great crash, (Matthew 7:24-27).

Where the Wild Things Are

We lived in southwest Missouri for about 20 years.  The original store of a large outdoor retail chain was less than a 2 hour drive from our house.  Being outdoor enthusiasts, we went there many times.  It is not just a store where you can purchase fishing lures, it’s a tourist attraction full of large aquariums, over-the-top décor, weaponry collections, restaurants, etc.  When they opened their wildlife conservation center and aquarium (much bigger than the ones they have inside the main store) we decided to take the kids up and check it out.
