Vigils Calling Us to Vigilance
“O soul, are you weary and troubled? No light in the darkness you see. There’s light for a look at the Savior, And life more abundant and free. Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth will grow strangely dim, In the light of His glory and…

The Bus Driver
My mother was a bus driver for 23 years before she left us for Heaven. She loved being a bus driver because she loved children. To parent’s of kindergarteners she was known as the ‘singing bus driver.’ She had this title because she would sing with the kindergartens as she drove them to and from…

“When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.” I have posted the story of the song “It is Well” before and in the face of the tragedy that has unfolded in Texas, it seems inadequate yet relevant to post…

The Fishing Shirt
I remember the day vividly when the old guy saw me on the closeout rack. I was already reeling from the fact that no one had chosen me for the purpose that I thought I had been created. They had cut me, sewed me, assigned me a title and hung me on that rack in…

The Prisoner and the President
“Do you know Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior?” These are the words that my friend and brother in Christ asked our waitress yesterday as we finished up our lunch. I was not surprised.

That Empty Basket
I remember when schools would recognize and celebrate Easter. That’s how old I am! One year my elementary school was going to have an Easter egg hunt with a prize for the student that collected the most eggs. Now my mom and dad were frugal people, certainly by necessity and equally by choice. Their Appalachian…

The Day Before
“You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out. before a single day had passed.” Psalm 139:16 (NLT) The day before. The day before Jesus’ death, he knew. The day before his death was filled with purpose as was his entire life. …

Would You Have Listened?
My dad became infinitely strong in my eyes, when he became most vulnerable through confession to me. “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.” 1 Corinthians 13:11 ESV I choose laughter. I…
