I read an interesting news story concerning a woman who fell asleep on an Air Canada aircraft bound for Toronto. She woke up to a cold, dark aircraft devoid of passengers and flight crew. She panicked. She finally figured out how to open the door of the aircraft and caught the eye of an airport […]
When I was working, I travelled quite a bit to different parts of the world. At one point, I lived in Germany for seven years. The culture is quite different and they are very open about sex. It’s very easy to get pulled into this type of lifestyle if you’re not careful. I was a […]
I’m going to start today with today’s scripture. As I was looking through the bible, I found 2 Corinthians 4: 17-18 (NLT), which I found encouraging: “For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long.

The word faith is a difficult word to understand. Having faith in someone or something means that you can trust that person or thing to do what you expect it to do. Faith is an action word. Can I have complete faith in someone or something here on earth? Personally, I don’t think so because […]
When my children were growing up, they were very curious as most children are. The older they got the more complicated the questions. Sometimes I was hard pressed to answer while trying to figure out how they even knew about what they were asking. In many cases, I had no answer to their questions. And, […]
When I was a young boy, I stole a chocolate bar from a pharmacy down the street from my house. This was at the bidding of my friend, Bobby. Yet, when I got home with my stolen treasure, I couldn’t eat it. I just sat looking at it as the realization of what I’d done […]
