Encouraged By The Beaver
Guest Author – Phyllis Grace I came across this link on Facebook today from Jerry Mathers, who was the star of the old TV show that began in the 50’s, Leave it to Beaver. He was sharing on the occasion of Gus the Fireman’s (Burt Mustin’s) date of birth. He told how he enjoyed working…

What Happened To Holiness?
Way back in the first century, even when the Church was Spirit-led and full of the power of God, Jude wrote a letter to his friends. A letter that was not only timely for them, but for us as well. Here’s a small portion. “Dear friends, I had been eagerly planning to write to you…

Spurring Each Other On
Our pastor preached a great message today that stirred me up about this particular subject. He mentioned the importance of each of us spurring each other on, encouraging one other to be and do all God has for us. “Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding…

Your Innocent Little Secret
This post is written mainly for men, but it can also be for women; women who share in the same innocent little secret. You’re convinced you aren’t doing anything wrong. You’re not being unfaithful to your wife; you’re only letting off steam. After all, your sex drive is far greater than your spouse’s so…

Black History Month – A Catalyst For Unity
I’m ashamed to admit it, but I’ve been known to say things that are insensitive, reveal my ignorance of a particular subject, and are nothing more than stupid. A couple of my “prize” sayings have been regarding February’s Black History Month. I’m not a racist, but apparently I can be a little slow in figuring…

God Is Pro-Choice
Last night, while watching the results come in from the Iowa caucuses, I happened to catch Mrs. Clinton as she gave her non-victory, victory speech. Among other things, she said she would continue to “protect women’s rights”, which is her way of saying “a woman’s right to choose.” That statement struck me differently than…

The Great American Giveaway
Do any of you remember the now famous words spoken by a new president in his inaugural speech on January 20, 1961? The new president was a young democrat by the name of John F. Kennedy. The phrase? Just this: “My fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you…

Unofficial Presidential Poll
Just a day and a fraction before the 2016 Iowa Caucuses get under way. So in keeping with the times, and since everyone and their brother is conducting a poll, I figured I’d do the same. Only this one’s going to be a little different and, hopefully, a lot more fun. Yesterday my wife and…

Where Are The Hardy Boys?
Remember back when Frank and Joe Hardy were the only super sleuths our country needed? Two teenaged boys, along with some of their friends, could outwit any criminal three or four times their age. Criminals came in all shapes and sizes, and were as diverse as the day is long. Jewel thieves, smugglers, counterfeiters,…

We Must Have The Truth
Yesterday, as I turned on my iPhone, I got a CNN notification which read something like this: “Oregon standoff leader Ammon Bundy and others arrested, and one person killed in gun battle.” So, naturally, I tapped the link and read the articles. And others. And yet, more articles. Some by Fox News; you know, the…
