Satchel Paige didn’t have an official birth certificate so there was a guess made about how old he was when he entered the Negro League of Professional Baseball. He pitched until he was “59” years old. Some wondered how he was able to keep going at such a high level for so long. He said,… Continue reading How Old Would You Be?

Man Overboard
“Tarshish? Yeah, we’re going to Tarshish. What you need us to take there for ya?” “Just me.” Jonah watched the crew loading crates below deck. The captain looked at Jonah’s small pack. “You sure do travel light. You have family in Tarshish?” Jonah shook his head. “No. Just been hankering to visit that fine city.… Continue reading Man Overboard
Gentle Voice
Elijah opened his eyes. A hand was on his shoulder. “Get up and eat this.” He looked to his left. A small cake and some water sat on a rock. When he turned back to the man nobody was there. He sat up, ate the meal then laid back down. Another hand on his shoulder… Continue reading Gentle Voice
Is Anybody Else Under Attack…or is it Just Me?
My crazy life has been some kind of crazy on steroids lately. March and the early part of April were a bit slow. I’ve been needing that to get caught up from the Christmas rush that lasted into February. But, last week was one I’d rather not repeat any time soon. I volunteered to help… Continue reading Is Anybody Else Under Attack…or is it Just Me?
Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?
As I recall Phil said there was going to be six more weeks of winter on February 2nd. You know…that groundhog in Pennsylvania. So why are we in the 70’s and 80’s here in Texas already? I’ve even seen where it’s in the 70’s back in Michigan…and it’s only the middle of the month. I… Continue reading Who Really Believed that Overgrown Underground Rodent Anyway?
I Wish God’s Will for the New Year
I’ve seen a lot of wishes for happiness and good things from well-meaning folks. As a born-again believer I’m not comfortable in making those types of wishes. By taking a more eternal view of how God sees things I think you’ll see what I mean. Watch my video for a more thorough explanation. I’ll see… Continue reading I Wish God’s Will for the New Year
WE’RE DOOMED
Joshua waited for his spies to return from Ai. “So, what do you think? Can we take it?” One of the men nodded. “Ai isn’t anywhere near as big as Jericho. We’ll only need two or three thousand men to wipe them out.” Joshua nodded once. “Good. That’s what I was thinking, too. Choose three… Continue reading WE’RE DOOMED
Heading Home
When Jacob walked by Laban’s sons he couldn’t help over-hearing their conversation. “Jacob got rich off Abba’s flocks.” “Yeah, everything he has once belonged to Dad.” “Why are his goats so much bigger than our goats? How’d that happen?” One glance at Laban and Jacob felt like the outsider he was. That looked carried so… Continue reading Heading Home
Praying God’s Promises
Jacob gathered his three best servants. “I want you to go to my brother, Esau. This is what I want you to tell him: ‘Your servant, Jacob, has been with Laban these twenty years and has accumulated much. I’m returning and hope to find favor in your sight.’ Come back here before he comes, please.”… Continue reading Praying God’s Promises
Our Broken Heart is Still Beating
As much as I didn’t want to do it my budget told me I had to take the through-the-night delivery beginning Tuesday night. It was scheduled to depart near DFW Airport at midnight. I was to take some mail to Memphis Wednesday morning. I pulled away from the dock with the load at 1:30 am.… Continue reading Our Broken Heart is Still Beating
