Eternity is rushing towards us.
You and everyone else must be ready.
2020
2021
Was it just me, or did this last year go by rather speedily? Goodness, I can remember trying to write 2019 instead of 2018 on my checks last January. Now, I need to remember to write 2020 on them! Time is definitely flying by. Molding and Shaping How did 2019 go for you? Did it turn out like you expected? Any surprises? I think surprises happen to all of us. It will be the same...Continue Reading...
Noah’s Ark vs. Fake News
I have to let you know that 2020 is really going to be one fascinating year. And an easy way to figure that out is to see how last year ended. Letter to the Editor Now, I know you don't waste your time watching “Meet the Press," because that show comes on during church hours on Sunday mornings, but I saw a clip of the show from the very last broadcast of 2019. Chuck Todd,...Continue Reading...
Uncle Billy
Way back in the day, I went to Sherman Elementary School. Where I live now, there is a little part of the city called Shermantown. So I kind of figured I had better read a book about General Sherman, since he has probably impacted my life more than I know. Pre-Civil War Years Tecumseh Sherman was actually named after a great Shawnee Indian warrior and chief. Interestingly, later in life, he would lead a lot...Continue Reading...
Feeling Empty?
Sometimes, feeling empty isn't a good thing. We don't like an empty wallet or pocketbook. We definitely don't like an empty tank of gas. We don't like an empty grocery cart. And many people don't like an empty house. But if you think it through, empty may not be a bad thing at all. Emptied Out What if your wallet or pocketbook is empty because you took the time to bless others, and it emptied...Continue Reading...
Arithmatic
In life, it really isn’t difficult to figure out the right thing to do. Just read your Bible and obey it. However, I have let my mom know a few times there is another way to tell right from wrong. Watch what the world does or says, and go in the opposite direction. Most of the time, it will put you right in line with the Bible! Literally, that simple. Questioning Homeschooling Recently, I saw...Continue Reading...
Summer of Truth
Recently, I was checking out a video by David Icke. Now, there is no need to watch it. David is an interesting guy. His spiritual beliefs are way out in the New Age movement and beyond. He titled of one of his books: Infinite Love Is the Only Truth: Everything Else Is Illusion. So you can tell that he is very deep into what is considered New Age teaching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmKI2Q58sr0&feature=youtu.be  When I was watching this...Continue Reading...
To Mask or Not to Mask, That is the Question
Okay. So, there I was, just minding my own business. Okay. Let’s be honest. Minding your own business is no fun!! Much, much more fun to butt into other people’s business and see what happens! Now, discretion is a good thing, too. If you see a hornet’s nest being stirred up with some people right in front of you, it might be best to just stand back and enjoy the show! But it’s more than...Continue Reading...
Time to Leave – Part 1
We have mentioned a few times through the years that to be a leader, you have to be a reader. Reading is fundamental. I often hear from people who tell me they have binge-watched certain shows or watched entire seasons of shows in 24 hours on Netflix or other streaming services. By the way, when have you ever binge-read some books? Read two books in a week or ten books in a month? One lady...Continue Reading...
Flawed but Not Forgotten
We get a lot of feedback about our books here at the ministry. Many of the comments are great to read, and they make writing those books well worth the effort. Thumbs Up Here are a few letters people have written to us that were good to receive: “I just wanted to share my excitement this morning as I presented each family in our church with a copy of The Last Ride. I first distributed...Continue Reading...
Trump Towers
I wrote a newsletter four years ago about why I voted for President Trump. Why don’t we stop right there. Four years ago? Are you kidding me? Wow. Time is not just flying by, it is a speeding bullet followed by a rocket ship to the moon with a weaver’s shuttle right behind it (Some of you may have to look on YouTube to figure that one out! Look up industrial loom as well). Job 7:6 My days...Continue Reading...
“I Read the Cover!!”
Wake-Up Call As I walked outside of my front door one morning, a tall guy started to approach me. I didn’t recognize him as being someone from the neighborhood, but we have construction going on, so there are all kinds of people out and about on the street. He seemed to be about as tall as I am, and he kept walking toward me. As he got closer, I began thinking to myself, “Why did...Continue Reading...
SOS (2020)
Guaranteed A gentleman I met at the Post Office recently sent me a book he wrote called The Gospel Within. The subtitle of the book is: “Lead a Person to the Lord in 3 to 5 Minutes without Preaching, Argument, or Debate, Guaranteed.†On page 10 he wrote: “If this method is digested and locked in, you will see more souls saved, on a one-to-one basis, than you ever have, guaranteed.†This guy sure likes making guarantees! I need to take...Continue Reading...
