During this Lenten season, we must remind ourselves that this season is about much more than doing things out of duty. We can fast, we can give and we can give up things for Lent. I want us to place that aside to look at ourselves for a moment. How is your relationship with God? Do you spend enough time with Him? Is there a sin in my life that God is speaking to me about, but I do other things not to think about this? Do I equate busyness with holiness? How can I draw closer to Him? These are tough questions to think about, but they must be...
We all have both good things and bad things that happen in our lives. Sometimes the bad things seem to come a little more often, and in sequences of two to three happenings at a time. It could be as severe as losing our job or a loved one, or it might be as simple as dropping some jewelry or some other small object, like loose change, in between the unforgiving cushions of the couch, where they will be hidden away for years to come. When this occurs, we sometimes let it get us down and dampen our spirits to the point of giving up. We want to...

“The best part of waking up is Folger’s in your cup.” “Folgers is specially blended and mountain grown.” These quotes are from the 1965 to 1986 coffee commercials featuring Virginia Christine, Swedish accent neighbor Mrs. Olson. Portrayed in multiple ads over the years, she always came to the rescue with the “Perfect Cup.” In my opinion, coffee, next to bacon, is one of the most valuable commodities in the world with shares trading today at $182.30. It is a huge part of our culture even though s...
Enjoy feeling anxious and blue? Concentrate on what is happening in the world now, that’ll do it for you – the impossible price of food and housing, crooked politics, illegal drugs, riots, disease, murders, kids molested. If that is your idea of living the good life, then my friend, you certainly have it made. But there’s probably not too many of us who would agree with you. Most people like a sense of order and normalcy, and all this out-of-control scary stuff can bring on feelings of helpl...
After two long years of anticipation and the receipt of thousands of comment letters, the Securities and Exchange Commission has approved its final climate disclosure rule – carrying with it a regulatory punch in the nose to Main Street America. The March 2022 proposed rule was so astronomically egregious and transparently unenforceable that the SEC was forced to dial back some elements, including a requirement that public companies report greenhouse gas emissions from their downstream suppliers. Unfortunately, the rule maintains the same e...
Last evening I was watching television, specifically a movie showing a father driving his family home after a long weekend, and upon getting home late at night the father carried his young daughter in and tucked her into bed. It wouldn’t come as a surprise for anyone who knows me very well that I had to stop and relive those memories of me doing the very same thing when our children were younger. And then wondering what positive lessons I could find in what I just saw. As I sat there basking i...
Sometimes I have spirited debates with some of my Facebook friends over political and social issues. You who know me are probably saying “DUH” right about now. What you may not know is I only post about 15 percent of what goes through my head. Other times the Holy Spirit tells me before I click the post button that I need to just delete the post. Please don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying I am a good person or that only posting about 15 percent of what goes through my head makes me a saint. Numerous times the Holy Spirit has told me what I...
Albert Brumley was born on a farm near Spiro, Indian Territory, in October 1905. His parents were poor sharecroppers, raising their children and eking out a meager living working on a cotton farm that they did not own. The Brumleys were also devoutly religious and musically talented – attributes that helped shape Albert’s future and became significant parts of his makeup for his entire life. Albert’s father liked to play a fiddle and his mother often led the entire family in singing songs to en...
We are already down to the same two Bozos we had four years ago to choose from. Keep in mind that it is over eight months to Election Day. Depending on which news channel you watch, Trump is going to be disqualified because of his misdeeds, or he is going to be able to run from prison. My brother said Sleepy Joe did a great job on the state of the union speech. He remained alert through the whole thing. They must have fed him a double dose of brain alertness pills. I didn't watch, instead...
