A Phone Call

My flight has been cancelled.  So said the lady on the phone.  Given that the flight was to arrive in earthquake ravaged Port Au Prince, Haiti, I expected as much.  In fact, you may not believe me, but I half expected something like this 6 month’s ago.  I even told my wife I just didn’t “feel” like […]

Farming

It’s been a hard week at the farm.  Long hours and not much good results.  Now I have a dilemma with my ox in the ditch: If I work this Sunday to get the ox out of the ditch, does that increase the likelihood the devil will lead him back to the ditch next Sunday?  Should

A Mile or Two

A Christian co-worker had a wreck.  Somebody hit her from behind.  The guy that hit her pleaded for her to let him fix it without turning it into the insurance.  He had his own shop, he said.  He could fix it, he said.  She agreed, and left her car by the road.  He would send

Who Ya Gonna Blame?

We had a problem with the computers at work last night.  The web conference was scheduled, people from all over the country connected, everybody waited, but the demo site wouldn’t work.  After 30 minutes of trying, we cancelled the conference.  Wasted time, for a bunch of people.  The search for who/what to blame began almost

What is a Furnace?

It’s 19 degrees outside.  Cold.  In this weather, the electric and gas meters are moving even faster than me making a barefoot run to the mailbox.  The world can be cold and bleak at times, but  my home is warm because the One who lives there insulates my heart, and keeps the fire burning.   Life may be a

Not That Bad

The movie we watched last night was not that bad.   The trailer looked funny and cute, so we thought we would watch it.    There were a few four letter words, and I think I heard God’s name used in vain a few times.   But it wasn’t that bad; nothing you wouldn’t hear in the street

Treasures in a Sack

I read this morning about Joseph’s brothers.   They traveled to Egypt to buy grain.  When they got there, Joseph recognized them, but they did not recognize him.  They bought their grain, then Joseph had their sacks filled and loaded on their donkeys . . . with a little surprise.
