Every year we lose brave women and men and add hundreds of veterans to our nation’s roll call. These fine people do what they do for love of country and for love of their fellow countrymen. We are indeed blessed to have each and every one of them stand up for freedom and human rights…
Be Selfish In Prayer
My life is sort of like “Groundhog Day,” so when I realized this weekend was Mother’s Day I also realized an opportunity lost in not writing a post for Mother’s Day. When my sister reminded me what this weekend’s post was about, we realized that it was perfect. Mothers, just like Jabez, need to be…
Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged
Today’s Daily Bible Daily Verse: “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For…

My Five Loves
Another Valentine’s Day has come and gone. I didn’t want it to slip away completely without saying something about the five Valentines in my life: my mother, my two sisters, my daughter, and of course my wife. When I think of these five women I am humbled by their strength, loyalty, and acts of love…
