Watched by God
Winding the watch strapped around my wrist is a thing of the past. A battery now keeps it ticking for several years with no need for my involvement. Touching it is only necessary twice a year when we enter or exit Daylight Savings Time.
Deism is a theological position...
Catch the Vision
There are some things I enjoy sharing, but presently this wasn’t one of them.
As an elementary age student, getting glasses was a horrible experience. Glasses may be stylish now, but they weren’t when I procured them. Manufacturers constructed atrocious...
A Conformed Rebel
In general, I’m a conformist, but there are times when I’m a rebel at heart.
Take driving for example. I’ve always obeyed the speed limit-even when I was a teenager. The only traffic ticket I’ve ever received was a warning for speeding, but even that was...
Church Indestructible
I will soon have lived 53 years, but I’ve never possessed anything that was indestructible.
As a young child, wind-up toys and Tonka heavy equipment were my favorites. But the wind-ups eventually broke forcing the Jack-in-the-box to stay in his box. And the trucks...
When Life Gets Complex
Teaching students to identify a simple sentence is usually an easy task, but understanding compound and complex sentences is more challenging.
Simple sentences contain a subject and verb and express a complete thought. Compound sentences are made up of two simple...
What’s for Supper?
“What’s for supper?” A question we three brothers often asked Mom, but one we also knew the answer to-“You’ll see when I get it fixed.”
Suppers in the South are delightful, but while sumptuous, a traditional southern United States...
Politically Right, Spiritually Wrong
When we moved to the lower region of South Carolina, it became our best friend. Driving on it was much faster than alternate routes.
Interstate driving has advantages. Multiple lanes allow for a freer flow of traffic. Speed limits are higher, allowing me to arrive at my...
When God Seems Silent
If the Son of God himself could feel abandoned because his Father appeared silent, I suppose I can too.
Jesus was earthbound because his Father sent him. Now he was hanging on a cross after having been brutally beaten and abused. What father wouldn’t come to a son...
Chewing Gum for God
“Hey, I’m going home to chew my gum,” he yelled from the bus as my wife and I entered the resale store where we were vendors. I was clueless, although it didn’t surprise me that she would connect with someone by using gum. Only later did the story unfold.

Faithful to the End
His demise wasn’t pretty, but it was quick and relatively painless. And she was faithful.
I was fortunate to grow up in a two-parent home with both parents being my biological progenitors. Mom had aspirations of being a concert pianist and probably would have made...
