I was so excited that day, walking into the local department store with my parents. I felt so grown up. I held tightly in my hands $5.00 of my own money that I had earned from my first babysitting job. “What treasure was I going to buy for myself?”, I wondered, as my anxious eyes… Continue reading Companion

Knees
“Because of this, God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” … Continue reading Knees

I had published this anonymous short story, that first struck my heart, in my book entitled, “Crosses in the Sky” and thought it was important to share again. It goes like this . . . A little boy wanted to meet God. He knew it was a long trip to where God lives, so he… Continue reading Potato Chips
Breathe
Not to start out on a negative memory, but Covid changed us as how we interact with each other. I remember thinking we would never get back to the way things were.

Even before he retired from the workforce, he was diagnosed with Parkinsons. The progression was slow, but we noticed the slight tremor in… Continue reading Pour
Seminar
What? I bet we have you thinking about what this message will be. “Jesus didn’t hold any business seminars”, you say? Or did He?

The many speakers I encountered… Continue reading Seminar

As a young teenager in love, I remember getting my first set of pearls as a gift. I felt so special, like a grownup, wearing them for the first time. Maybe you’ve even taken advantage of some of the opportunities to obtain your very own genuine pearl. It could have been from a vendor at… Continue reading Pearl
