The Three Mile Experience
The day we had patiently waited for finally arrived. It was our second annual fishing trip to Three Mile Lake, down around Afton, Iowa. My brother, a friend and myself planned to spend the whole day on the lake, fishing out of my Bass Tracker. The lake is known for its good sized crappie and…

Destroying the Green-Eyed Monster
There’s a green-eyed monster on the loose. I’ve seen it! Maybe you have, too. No, I’m not referring to the Steppenwolf song, “Monster”, or “Green Eyed Lady” by Sugarloaf. I’m not mixed up; though some may argue that point. I’m not even HALF insane. And, I have not listened to Michael Savage for at least…

Ask!
Looking for God? Are you sure He’s around? What if He doesn’t want to have anything to do with you? Maybe there really isn’t a God! Perhaps you’re just wasting your time looking for someone who isn’t real in the first place. Okay, suppose there is a God; what makes you think He gives a…

The Freak Show?
Have you ever been to a circus or county fair? I’m talking about the old-fashioned kind with cotton candy, ring toss games, the game to test how strong you are (ever ring the bell?), and, of course, THE FREAK SHOW! Sometimes there’s a bearded woman, a man with 6 toes on each foot, or someone…

The Ponderosa Prize
It had been a long day. My wife and I had traveled about 500 miles and decided to stop in Greenfield, Indiana for the night. After checking into our hotel and cleaning up a bit, we went looking for a place to eat. Lots to choose from, but what really sounds good? Oh, there it…

I’m a Believer!
I am a believer. A believer in God. A believer because of God. A believer born of God. A believer filled with God. A believer in Jesus Christ! I choose to believe God’s word, rather than what my senses whisper to my brain. I agree with the Spirit’s witness within my heart instead of siding…

Help with an experiment?
Would you help me, please? I’m conducting an experiment; a quasi-scientific test. All you need to do, if you’d like to participate that is, is share this post with just one person. No, it’s not a chain letter; you won’t be blessed or cursed depending on your decision to share, or not to share. You…
