When I was at Logan County High School, I had a plan to tell another boy about Jesus, but that plan fell to stuttering when I actually tried to tell him. How many times have I thought, maybe you too, I need to say something for God, but don’t know what to say?

Standing in a line to board a ferry in Southhampton, England, I overheard a man say “He’s in the q.” At that point I had spent enough time in the United Kingdom to know sometimes the British use words unlike we use in the U.S., not that one was right and the other wrong, just different. The …

The Bible is a tapestry of God’s grace. At every turn we find threads of promise throughout that meet and form a knot. One of these knots is found in the Old Testament book of Ruth. The book of Ruth brings together at least four threads to form a major knot in the masterpiece of God’s story …

I have been asked about Kentucky meanly by people from other states, “Is everyone related to everyone else?” But as I have thought about it, we in God’s church can say we are all related to each other, because of Jesus. Folks in His church are a family unlike any other. We are the family of …

When I was born down in Olmstead, God didn’t make me, a government, or even a church my main caregiver. He put me in a family. On Friday nights, one show we’d watch was called “Family Matters.” As crazy of a TV show as that was, I saw people who had issues working them out. Families are wort…

When you hear someone say “pennies from heaven,” what comes to mind? Is it that 1936 song by Bing Crosby, and later sung by numerous other stars such as Doris Day, Tony Bennett, and Dean Martin? Or the 1981 film starring Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, Christopher Walken and others? For me,…

Yard work is a big part of Flint Ridge and yet I rather enjoy it. You all know I love mowing, weed eating, and trimming (not so much), but once I start it, I lose myself in thought and it goes by rather quickly. Pruning and tending to my flowers brings me true jubilation. I honestly could la…
