The Colors of Fall

One of my favorite times of the year is fall. I love to watch how God paints the colors of the leaves. It’s still hard to get used to the main show not starting until mid-October. The leaves have finally started changing colors. Many trees are still green. We have a maple out back that [...]

Wow! God was good to us once again. Today was our Friend Day Celebration, while we didn’t come anywhere close to 100, we did have 66 which is about 20 more than usual. Several of our students brought there friends. I invited some of my friends but they didn’t come. There was a sweet presence [...]

Does This Sound Familiar?

The other day I got a weekly e-mail from the Department of Communications of the Wesleyan Church. It seems the youth of today aren’t much different than the youth of thousands of years ago.

Collins was asked, “How does business sector greatness differ from church greatness?” He replied, “The biggest distinction is the role of money. In the business world, money works both as a fuel to achieve greatness and as [...]
