Six months of 2018 are behind us now. Has this year been all you hoped it would be so far? Not for me. Oh, there were signs things would be changing. A few hopeful sparks rose from the fire only to sputter out quickly. A partial inheritance helped for a couple of months. Now I’m… Continue reading This Year is Half Done Already

How Old Would You Be?
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?
What’s On Your Bucket List?
Let me begin by saying I firmly believe that it’s the role of the Holy Spirit to bring a person to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Only God’s Spirit can speak to someone’s spirit on the level of conviction required for life change. I also believe that, as Christ’s followers, it’s up to us… Continue reading What’s On Your Bucket List?
I’m Going Dark This Week
I love so many of today’s modern conveniences. Cruise control on vehicles is a great way to rest while driving. Cameras on a phone that fits in my pocket are fabulous. There were so many times in my life I wish I had a camera so I could capture a moment but couldn’t. Now I… Continue reading I’m Going Dark This Week
Forty Two Letters
How often do you receive a letter in the mail? No, I mean an old-fashioned paper and ink message that came from someone’s fingers directly. Not an email shot off a computer screen. Well, part of my assignment I accepted as a team member of Kairos #58 is the responsibility to hand write a letter… Continue reading Forty Two Letters
A May 1st-ish Newsletter
Here’s the latest goings on in the life of Wade Webster, future best selling author extraordinaire. Last Sunday a friend from church asked how different things were going in my life. At that time things were their usual stuck in a rut going nowhere. If I could have talked to him this Sunday I would… Continue reading A May 1st-ish Newsletter
Have you ever felt like a punching bag?
Two thirds of the way through the Sermon on the Mount Jesus warns us that each day will have trouble, so don’t worry about tomorrow until you get through today. Last Wednesday afternoon held more than its share of trouble for me. The day began just fine. I made it to my first stop in… Continue reading Have you ever felt like a punching bag?
I’m a Wanted Man
Some days there just isn’t enough of me to go around. Being rather small in stature that shouldn’t surprise those who know me well. Last week was one of those times everybody wanted a piece of me…or all of me if they could. The Apainter Paul won a bid to paint the interior of a… Continue reading I’m a Wanted Man
I Want to be FAT
How many new year’s resolutions are based on folks losing weight? Too many in my opinion. If somebody really wants to become lighter they’ll change their lifestyle no matter what time of year it is. If someone, on the other end of the scale, wants to gain weight all they have to do is eat… Continue reading I Want to be FAT
Signs of Spring
February can be an extremely difficult month to endure. I know firsthand from being born and raised in Michigan. I can still recall seeing the pastures just east of our house blanketed in snow with more snow blowing across the barrenness. The wood heating stoves barely kept up with the freezing temperatures. There was a… Continue reading Signs of Spring
