An account was told to me about two men. Both men were diagnosed with cancer within about two weeks time. One man chose to do all he could to fight the disease. He went to different clinics for different treatments, sought all the medical help he could find, traveling to wherever he needed to receive … Continue reading God’s Will; Our Choice

Restoration
One of my daily devotions - the Worthy Brief -- said this: "....the real issues America faces [cannot be] remedied by politics. Political realities simply reflect the internal moral and cultural climate of a nation and its people. In their drive for power, most politicians are simply responding to or manipulating the current passions of … Continue reading Restoration

Joshua chapter 5: “13Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?” 14“Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord … Continue reading Sandals

The future. What is it? Why is it important? Just how important is it? What if plans for our future fall apart? How do your plans for the future affect what you do today?

Christmas Memories
The following I received from one of my brothers: I imagine that most, if not all, of us have some very special Christmas memories. I want to share a few of mine with you. One of my earliest memories is of my bobsled. My father built it himself from 1” galvanized pipe, wood slats, paint, … Continue reading Christmas Memories
Happy and Merry

But … Continue reading Happy and Merry

The following was sent to me via email by a brother; it's from John Hagee Ministries; it's called "Small Beginnings": We love to celebrate big things!

In 1970, … Continue reading Cause and Effect

Standing on the Bank
In July 1993 I stood in Riverview Park in Hannibal, MO and looked to the east. As far as I could see was water; the Mississippi River was about 12 miles wide at that time. Standing next to me was an 80-year-old man; we stood there in silence for what seemed like several minutes. He … Continue reading Standing on the Bank
Cornerstone
In the modern age a cornerstone is more symbolic than structural. They are often engraved with the date the building was built or finished, sometimes adorned with a plaque of the company or builder's name, or the building name. Often they are hollow, wherein articles and documents are placed that are of the current time … Continue reading Cornerstone
