It’s a Wonderful Life

I was in high school when I first saw the movie It’s a Wonderful Life. I watched it with my girlfriend, and we just watched it again with our children last night. A local theater had a showing, so we got to enjoy this masterpiece on the big screen. I’ve identified with George Bailey sinceContinue reading “It’s a Wonderful Life”

A Man Skilled in His Work

“Do you see a man skilled in his work?He will stand before kings;He will not stand before obscure men.” Proverbs 22:29 I got frustrated with myself this week. Consider this post as bread, fresh from the oven. I learn things in real time, too. I’ve been infatuated with the idea of being a pastor sinceContinue reading “A Man Skilled in His Work”

On Friendship

I used to be so concerned that I didn’t have any lasting friends, through thick and thin. My wife does! She has ladies she can text at any moment and they will respond.

What Edie Taught Me

We had our first child when I taught at Cahokia High School. It was the near end of my first year there, and I would spend only two years teaching there. I eventually tried to get out of teaching, but that’s for another time. Since I had only read one book during my time K-12Continue reading “What Edie Taught Me”

Laziness

Sometimes it takes a few times to sink in. Lord willing, we learn from other people’s mistakes. Usually for me, I have to learn from my own. Even then, I’m a slow learner. Once is usually not enough! That’s how it was with my laziness problem. Yes, a full grown adult who the Lord neededContinue reading “Laziness”

Don’t Rush It

I knew what I wanted in life. Due to some interesting counsel from some books I read, I had a strong desire to live, work, and go to church in the same neighborhood. We lived in St. Louis at the time, and we were already living and going to church in the same neighborhood. OneContinue reading “Don’t Rush It”
