Faith That Is Moving
When I got my first full-time job in 1995, I treated myself to a kinetic watch. Unlike traditional watches, it doesn’t have a battery; instead, it harnesses energy from movement. As long as I keep it moving, it keeps working. However, as I received new watches over time, this one ended up in the back …
Storms of Life
The recent hurricanes (Helene, Milton) have given me perspective on how we should never take for granted the blessings we have in relation to having our basic needs met! You do not have to search very long to see the death, destruction, and devastation of “back to back” hurricanes in seemingly the same geographical location. …
Time Is Flying
This article is being printed with less than three months of the calendar year left.. “Time is flying!” This makes me think back to when my parents would stop by Kenneth Calvert’s drug store and pick up several calendars so they would be ready to hang when January 1st would show up!The drug store, for …
Does Your Name Matter?
It has been my experience in our modern culture the spelling of our name supersedes the meaning of our name (in most cases). In short, we like for our names to be spelled correctly more than someone knowing the etymology of our name! I know I like for my name to be spelled correctly. Our …
How Heavy Are Words?
You are like me, you have been both a receiver of words and a dispenser of words. Words can be good or bad. Words can be encouraging or discouraging. Of course, this is all contingent on how the words are given and how they are received. Either way, you and I are in control of …
Jesus, The Master Teacher
“Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews, conceded that Jesus of Nazareth was a ‘teacher’ from God, as documented by ‘signs’ which he did (John 3:2). A wealthy young ruler approached the Lord asking, ‘Teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?’ (Matthew 19:16). Even Jesus’ enemies addressed him as ‘Teacher’ …
Trouble In Every Corner
A long time ago I really wanted to be a public school administrator. At the time I wanted to serve a local school district as an assistant principal or principal and possibly secure a position as a “district level” administrator down the road. Why? I had a great experience as a kid in school. My …
We’ve seen ’em win. We’ve seen ’em lose. But, we’ve never seen ’em quit.
First, I am not a baseball fan at any level. Aside from playing catch with neighbor boys as a kid or playing catch in the backyard with my children, I have never played baseball. Oh yeah, I did play one year of little league baseball in the fifth grade for the Glasgow Red Sox. My …
Count Your Blessings
We sing a song that reminds us to “count our blessings” and “name them one by one.” One of my summer goals is to do that. Take a legal pad and pen and just take off writing down all my blessings! I, like you, will count my blessings which will include both temporal and spiritual …
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
I used to coach high school football with a gentlemen who also served our state as a Kentucky State Trooper. Kids loved him (and still do) and I learned about life while being in his presence. When it came to dealing with emotions or people, he was, as my momma would say, “cool as a …
