Trusting Someone Else’s Eyes

Trusting Someone Else’s Eyes

One Sunday afternoon I was backing out of a parking place at a local restaurant. I couldn’t see if any cars were coming because a huge truck was blocking my vision. My sister was in the back seat of my truck and she had a better vantage point to see if any cars were...
Bible Fear

Bible Fear

We would all do well to redefine the word FEAR in our lives. To most, the word FEAR simply means “to be afraid of something” that potentially may cause pain, harm or death. So, people have the FEAR of heights, FEAR of the dark, FEAR of sharks, FEAR of death, FEAR of...
Past My Prime

Past My Prime

The other day somebody told me I was “past my prime.” I wasn’t sure what they meant… it sounded like an insult, but I thought I’d look up the word PRIME in the dictionary just to find out what the definition is. I’m so glad I did! I found out that, in painting, when...
No Looking Back!

No Looking Back!

I guess I was about 19 years old when I had my very first “fender-bender.” I had just gotten a roast beef sandwich at the Arby’s drive-through and was waiting to merge on to Sixth Avenue as I sat behind another car. I looked over my shoulder and there were no cars...

Your True Value

Your True Value

An acquaintance of mine sold 4 very old silver dollars for $20 a piece at an auction I went to. When I asked him about the coins he said, “Those were my wife’s coins. Do you know where she got them from?” He went on to tell me that his wife works in a restaurant in...

A miraculous event happened in the life of a man named Cornelius. An angel appeared to him and told him to send some men to get the Apostle Peter and bring him to his house. Cornelius did as the angel instructed, and Peter came and preached to Cornelius and his...
Give me the Bad News First

Give me the Bad News First

A friend called me the other day and said, “I’ve got good news, and I’ve got bad news.” I said, “Give me the bad news first” and he did. After the bad news was out of the way all of my angst, and any fear that I might have had, was gone because I knew the good news...
