The Sun Still Comes Up In The Morning
I woke up early the other morning. It was still dark outside. I lay there thinking about what I would write for this week’s column. My mind wandered. I thought about things I have been through in my life. Problems, mistakes, and screw-ups have been many. I am a blessed man to have my family,…

THE REST OF THE STORY
Yesterday morning, I was up early like I always am. It was still dark out. Cup of coffee in hand, I go to my office, sit down at my desk, turn on the computer, and start writing a story I have been wanting to do titled – Gotcha Kids. I was busy doing research about…

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA
There are over 200 million professed Christians in the United States. Would you believe 2 out of 5 Christians fail to vote in Presidential elections? 1 out of 5 Christians are not even registered to vote. Shame on us! Watching the TV news, listening to talk radio shows, or reading about all the politics on…

BEFORE TOMORROW NEVER COMES
The autumn season of our lives can be a mixture of nostalgia, blessings, and potential. It yields the harvest of seeds we’ve sown throughout life and braces us for colder days to come. When that time arrives, we look back and better understand how God led us. Do not rest. You have work to do…
