How ridiculous was the attitude of the Israelite people at times? It seems that most of the time when I refer to them in my preaching or teaching it has to be from the standpoint of not doing what they did. They were continually misbehaving, abandoning God, complaining to Moses, and generally causing a lot … Read more…
Since we have been married Kristy and I have never had a big home. Our first was an apartment in Collierville that was a little over 800 square feet. From there we bought our first house in Middle Tennessee, which was a little over 1,200 square feet. At first that house seemed big enough, … Read more…
One thing that has always impressed me about the character of Jesus is that He refused to subject Himself to pressure techniques. During one of the most emotion filled instances in His life He was chided by the chief priests and elders with false accusations and anger filled words; but while many of us would … Read more…
An Associated Press story I read yesterday takes the stupidity of some crimes to a whole new level. Apparently Sunday, in San Antonio, Texas, a man became so enraged at a Taco Bell that he attempted to shoot three people, one employee at the restaurant and two police officers during a stand off at a … Read more…
We often have the bad habit of making mountains out of molehills (and incidentally, we make molehills out of mountains as well!). Such, I believe, is illustrated by a recent news story documenting “when a huge clock in Trafalgar Square [in London] marking the countdown to the 2012 [Olympic] Games stopped just hours after being … Read more…
Well, I got my notice by email yesterday confirming what I already knew but was trying to deny…I’m getting old! This coming September my high school classmates and I will reunite to commemorate ten years since our graduation. I remember as a child and teenager hearing the “older folks” say that I should enjoy life … Read more…
Monday a comic book collector purchased a small part of comic history. For a near mint condition copy of “Amazing Fantasy” # 15 an anonymous buyer paid $1.1 million. Now, what is so special about this issue is that it is the first time Spiderman ever made an appearance in a story-line. With the recent … Read more…
Last night I read an article (the link is below for your reference) that illustrates everything that is wrong with society’s perception of parenting. The article, “The Opposite of a ‘Tiger Mother’: Leaving Your Children Behind,” chronicles the decision of Rahna Reiko Rizzuto who, when her children were 5 and 3, decided “she didn’t want … Read more…
The heavens have opened and the angels are singing the “Hallelujah Chorus.” Chik-fil-a opened in Dyersburg today. I am not a big fan of fast food by any stretch of the imagination. I would rather go hungry than eat at McDonald’s. I can stomach Burger King or Wendy’s if I have to. I enjoy Sonic … Read more…
Yes, you read right. Last night my daughter made a phone call. Now while that might not seem from the outset to be overly impressive did I mention that she is ten months old? Somehow she was fooling around with my wife’s phone and before we knew it Kristy’s cousin was on the line. While … Read more…
