September 23, 2025 May I encourage you to grab your Bible and read Isaiah 5, then read this post. The “woes” of Chapter 5 seem to culminate in Chapter 6, Verse 5 when Isaiah declared, “Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a…

September 15, 2025 Miss Deb and I enjoy getting together with friends and playing a card game we call “The Game.” I haven’t time to explain it here, but if you want to come over some evening, we will teach you how to play it. But in The Game, as with most other games, people…

September 14, 2025 Through a strange order of events, I was pretty much raised by my Uncle Clayton and his family for the first years of my life. Uncle Clayton was a very easy-going man. He spoke slowly, softly and moved with intention. In all of my years knowing this man, he very seldom showed…

September 13, 2025 Dear readers, I will always attempt to speak truth with and to you because of my respect for you and because of my love for God. Today, I’m going to jump into a topic that I feel rather inadequate to discuss, so we all need to pray for wisdom and discernment as…
