TV: What can we watch?
Several years ago I can remember thinking, “Christians do not have options when it comes to television programming.” Not long after I pondered this thought, the Gospel Broadcasting Network was developed and went “live.” What is the Gospel Broadcasting Network (GBN)? GBN is simply the best & most informative Scriptural programming available that provides 24 …
If Tomorrow Never Comes…
A few years ago, the song entitled “If Tomorrow Never Comes” was popular. The point of the song is to be sure and tell those around us how much they mean to us before their life or our life ends. This means telling someone we love them and showing them how much concern we have …
Why Should We see The Good In Others?
Recently, I saw an old college friend at a restaurant. While taking a few minutes to “catch up,” I mentioned how much respect I have for his Christian father-in-law who I’ve known for nearly thirty years.

Notes From The Campaign Trail
I am extremely thankful for the political process in our country. I am appreciative for the framers of our constitution and all military personnel who allow our system of government to work better than anyone else’s on the planet!
