UNDER CONSTRUCTION-John Smith

by MJohnson

I remember the words of the old children’s song that said: “He’s still working on me, To make me what I ought to be; It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars, The sun and earth and Jupiter and Mars. How loving and patient He must be. “Cause He’s still workin’ […]

Our God is a Giver By Dan Jenkins

by custom

It is remarkable that so many know the “Golden Text” of the Bible. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son…” It is called the “Golden Text” because many who read John 3:16 see it as summing up the story of the Bible. Our God is a giver. He gave […]

Entering and Leaving Our Gethsemane

Do not just read what happened there but take time to feel the emotions: the emotions of the sleeping disciples whom Jesus rebuked; the emotions of Judas as he […]

“ME and SELF”

by custom

“ME and SELF” I live with my beautiful bride, Judy, and a cranky old man named My Self. Sometimes, when I rise early for my 45-minute walk, Self tells me, “You can’t go out and walk today. Your knee hurts.” “Well, we’re going out anyway,” I reply. “I’m just trying to say your right knee […]

ILLUSIONS IN LIFE II Beyond the “Illusions” nestled in and around most; the real person good or bad; is hidden behind a mask that must be discovered and removed.

War, and Rumors of War

by Larry Johnson

This is a scary season. Not because Halloween is just around the corner. Our fear comes from the daily tweets threatening to launch a nuclear war against our enemies. It’s not that we’re naïve, for we know that past presidents have dealt with the same enemies. It’s just that their methods toward reconciliation were less […]
