AN ETERNAL REMINDER
I have a scar on my right hand. It’s been there for over 40 years. It’s a constant reminder to me of a windy summer day when I was 8 years old growing up in South Carolina. I had built a fort in my backyard out of boards from a large wooden crate. While I was playing...

INVOKE A BLESSING
I was leading a Bible study on the Feeding of the 5,000. I asked a young man in the group to read the story aloud for all in the room to hear. He was reading from one of the newer translations of the Bible. When he got to the place where it says that Jesus BLESSED the...
