Wait…What?
Wait…What?
Well, it did it to me again! It seems like I just had my birthday in June; now it’s a new year, and it’s only six months ’til my next birthday. That would make me X years old! The thing about this New Year’s thing that everyone tends to celebrate is it forces us to look back at the past and then into the future. From where I am sitting in the present, my past is a lot more past than there is a future. 01/03/2024 04:00

1950s photo of the Hoelscher-Fehmer farm outside of Ellinger.
Potato Pickin'
It’s a warm Saturday morning in the spring of 1958 on the Hoelscher- Fehmer farm a couple of miles outside of Ellinger in southeast Fayette County. The cows in the pasture are lazily grazing on the lush grass still glistening with early-morning dew. The old sagging cedar plank gate provides an opening in a rusty barbed wire fence that separates the pasture from the aging house and decrepit outbuildings on a farm that appears to be in a time warp from the previous century. 01/03/2024 04:00
Bulletproof Bible Reading – Easy Like Sunday Morning
Bulletproof Bible Reading – Easy Like Sunday Morning
“The Bible is worth all other books which have ever been printed.” Patrick Henry If I could offer one piece of advice to all of humanity, it would be this. Read the Bible. Read the entire Bible. If you are a believer, then this is an obvious consideration. If you are convinced that the God of the universe is real, and we have a book, accepted now for centuries as revelation of His existence and work, then you might want to read it. Few Christians do this. If you are a non-believer (atheist or agnostic, or perhaps have a different belief system), then I would challenge you to read the Bible anyway. You might want to know more just in case this God and Jesus stuff is real. 01/03/2024 04:00
