Unfolding the Rosebud
There are certain things only God can do. Ordering our life and the
unfolding of a rosebud are among these things.
Heaven's Grocery
Store
A classic tale of not only a wise shopper but a store whose stock was
everlasting.
If God Had
Voicemail
Modern technology has changed our lives in many ways. Fortunately, it has
not changed the way we communicate with God. Just imagine if God had Voicemail.
Rudy's Angel
The poignant story of a recent widow who realizes the love of her husband
lingers on even after his death. A call for all of us to savor our loved ones.
Building the
Perfect Church
Is there ever such a thing as the perfect church? Both pastor and
congregation thought this new church approached perfection...at least, in its facilities.
A Survival Kit for
Everyday Living
A few things to carry with you daily so you can keep your focus on God and
survive the world.
What Would We Let
Happen To Our Son?
The world is dying. It will take the pure blood to save. But the donor
must die. The donor is your child. What would you do?
The Cricket
The cricket's voice was small compared to the cacaphony and drone of the
city. But someone listening for it...heard it.
Learning To Drive
Some times a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Of course, that is
only hair say!
Make The Devil Pay
I've heard this one told a dozen or
more different ways but it never ceases to tickle me since I know, in the long run, the
Devil will have to pay!!
Three Hymns
A little humor helps the day go down easier. Think about this one when the
choir begins to sing.
Kindergarten Class
Children say the darndest things and probably have the clearest vision of
God.
Is Your Hut
Burning?
Some times you feel like life is burning you up, but the fire may be to
God's glory.
The Art Collector
Some father's will not let you pick and choose among their priceless
gifts. For some if you take the Son, you get it all.
The Visitor
When God comes a calling, you may not recognize Him. Make sure you do not
snub your next visitor, just because he is a stranger.
It Takes Guts To
Stand Up For Jesus
Loving Jesus does not always make us popular. Sometimes we may be
threatened and challenged because of our beliefs and love.
A Love Letter From
Jesus
Just a little note to remind us not only is someone looking over us but He
loves us very much.
Letters From Hell
Friends don't let friends go to hell. Share the message of salvation
before it is too late.
The Dream
What kind of files does God have on you? Enough to make you lose sleep and
not be able to dream?
Emergency Phone
Numbers
Here's a Biblical-based phone book for you so you know who to call in
times of need.
The Tuning Fork
A vibrating metal fork can make musical instruments resonate with the same
pitch. God's voice should bring us to similar unity.
The Shooting
God has a way of watching out for us even when we can not watch out for
ourselves. He keeps us out of harm's way.
Noah's Problems
If you think living with two of every kind of animal is confusing enough,
imagine how things would have been if Noah's ark had to meet code!
The Old Mule
Things looked bleak for the old mule. He was stuck in a hole and dirt was
being thrown on him. He beat adversity!
The 491st Time
Friends and family may remember your mistakes but it does not matter how
many times you mess up in God's eyes. He forgives all your mistakes!
