September 5, 2025 There is no argument, things of this world are not overly shiny right now. There seems to be plenty of difficult times for most everyone. Everything costs more, violence is constant, our world is at war and there are daily reports of earthquakes, fires and natural disasters of all kinds. What’s a…

September 2, 2025 Greetings friends. With Labor Day behind us, it is time to get to work. Not just our work, but the work of advancing the kingdom of our King! We older folks fully know that we too are in the fall of our lives, and that winter is coming. Could the same be…

September 1, 2025 How was your “family reunion” yesterday? I pray that you were able to really enjoy being with your church family.

August 23, 2025 Yep, I’m so old that I can remember life without a computer, or a microwave, or a telephone. Shoot, I’m so old I can remember life without a television. Yet, life was so much simpler then. If we needed something from town, we waited until Saturday; the day for taking cream and…

August 22, 2025 I invite you to open your Bible to the fourth chapter of the book of Joshua. I am of the opinion that here, we too often miss one of the keys to walking with God. Joshua is the new leader faced with the task of bringing the people of Israel into the…

August 21, 2025 For some reason, yearling cattle seem to be their own critter – kind of like teen age people. Each group is gaining on adulthood, yet a considerable distance from reaching it.
