"I've never seen you paint." … said the collector to the painter Jasper Johns. “Neither have I.” Watching is different than doing. Trying to do both at the same time is a challenge. – Seth Godin, February 11, 2024.] I have never once watched or listened to one of my sermons in nearly 15 years of full-time ministry. And I’ve never really stopped to ask myself why. I don’t mind the sound of myself on recordings like some people do. I don’t necessarily think my sermons are bad (although I’ve certainly thought that a few times). There is just somet...
We are moving right along in the Beatitudes, and we come to one that is really hard for a lot of us. Matthew 5:7 says, “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” The Greek definition for the word “merciful” is basically having compassion on others. This definition of compassion covers a lot of area in our relationship with others. Christ had compassion on many people, on many occasions, when he was going from town to town proclaiming the good news of the kingdom. In Matthew 9:36 it says, “When he saw the crowds, he had compassio...

The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World represent remarkable feats of architecture and engineering that have captivated people in antiquity and continue to inspire wonder today. The list was begun over 2,000 years ago and the structures surpassed all others in the areas of beauty, size, skill of construction, location, or ingenuity. But what is made by man is only temporary. “Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and the sky.” – Kansas, 1977. Throughout history, the list was flexible as vario...
Does it seem to you that God is always saying “No” or “Don’t do that” or “Thou shalt not”? If you think that, you are not alone. Many people feel the same way. Seems as if all He wants to do is stop them from enjoying life. And it also seems to them that if they do ignore His “I said no,” and go ahead with a little fun, He is always nearby to drop a 50-pound anvil on their head. No wonder people make fun of those who insist that “God is loving; just look in the Bible and you can plainly read th...
We’ve now made it through the second week of session and Senate committees have continued reviewing the dozens of bills they’ve been assigned. I’m pleased to share that a few of my bills have already received approval from their respective committees and are now eligible to be heard by the full Senate. Senate Bill 1375 was approved by the Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee and requires cell-cultured, lab-grown, synthetic, or any other type of fake meat that is developed outside of the traditional practice of livestock husbandry, to be la...
I am a huge Charles Spurgeon fan. For those who don’t know who I am talking about. Charles Spurgeon was an English Baptist preacher who lived in the last of the 19th century. He was a leader of the conservative movement of the London Baptist Church and opposed the liberal tendencies in the church of his day. I only wonder what he would say of the liberal tendencies of today’s church. I love his conservative way of thinking. I also love his quotes. You can spend a couple of days just reading the quotes about scripture and life that are att...
Once upon a time – in the mid-1960s – there was a musical group made up of young men in their early 20s. Actually, there were about a million such bands in the mid-1960s. This article is about one of them. The band formed at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania, which the members of the band were attending. They called themselves the Rhondells. Before long a young entrepreneur from England named Brian Epstein “discovered” the band. Epstein was known for finding and managing talented groups....
I was disappointed! There is an old saying "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas." Nothing happened there that I couldn't talk about here. Probably the most exciting thing was my trip to the house of ill repute. I told the madam, "I want a woman!" "What did you say, old man, and how old are you anyhow?" she asked. "I'm 75, and I want a woman, why?" She said, "You are too old for the slowest girl we have; you're finished old man, finished, I tell you!" "I am, what do I owe you?" More Vegas...
