I’m Just Asking
Do you mind if I ask some questions? Reading my Bible this morning, my thoughts seemed to lock in on Barnabas, the Infant Body of Christ, the significance and value of relationships in the Body, and how all that affects our present day Body. How do we compare with our “Baby Pictures”? So, if you…

Guides and Greeters
(and worship leaders) When I was in the Army, 35 years ago, my wife and I were privileged to spend time in Germany. My unit was in a Kacerne called Peden Barracks, located just outside Wertheim, Germany. We lived on the “economy”, in other words, not on the military post. During our 3 years there,…

Little Miss Tipsy
The other evening my wife and I had supper with some friends at their house. As we were finishing our meal, our friends’ son and daughter-in-law stopped by to drop off their dog for the weekend, while they went out of town. Little Miss Tipsy. Part dachshund and part something else, she sure was a…
