I Don’t Want To Be a Fool I went out back of our building where I work this morning. I went to a place where our parking lot abuts the riverbank and sat on a stone, which was part of a water drainage trough. I like to go back there from time to time. I …Read the full blog…
“I Want To Be a Helper Our church is having what we call Kids Kamp right now. We have about 40 kids from the Delano area at the local elementary school for four hours each day in a VBS-like setting. It’s a great outreach, and the kids really enjoy it. One of the projects they …Read the full blog…
Because Education Is So Important As I write this, we have had a wonderfully cool and pleasant spring season so far. The temperatures have been moderate to cool; we have had sufficient rain; things are growing like crazy outside; there aren’t any mosquitoes (yet).

Ordinary People I’m a little late in writing this week. I’d tell you of all the excuses, such as the tornado cloud that passed within a mile or so of our home Sunday afternoon, or the Oklahoma tornadoes that left such devastation, or the frenzy of final school days (my wife is involved in that). …Read the full blog…

Playing at Church I am sharing with you an excerpt from the book, “The Crux of the Matter” by Jeff Childers, Doug Foster, and Jack Reese, faculty of Abilene Christian University. The book is a great read, discussing and addressing long-standing issues within the Restoration Movement and providing positive direction toward relieving those issues. The …Read the full blog…
Whose Workmanship? Normally, when I’ve come in to work the past few months, I hurry into the building because it’s chilly outside, or it’s snowing, or some such other weather event that keeps me hurrying along. Today, though, it was so nice out in the morning I came to work without a coat or a …Read the full blog…
A Full Load I got up today just a bit down and in the dumps. I wondered why it was so, because the weather is warm with prospects of rain; we have plenty to eat and drink; our bills are paid; we have a little saved up; and we both have good jobs. I couldn’t …Read the full blog…
