“Houston, we have a problem!” April 13th, 1970, and the Odyssey’s Commander Jim Lovell uttered words that would go down in History. That wasn’t how Lovell thought he’d be remembered, he thought that he would go down in history as the fifth man to walk on the moon, but a faulty oxygen tank would destroy…

A couple of weeks ago, I heard a preacher say that we read the bible with the end in mind. What he meant was that because we are so familiar with the various stories of the bible, our minds automatically skip to the ending, and we miss the story in the middle. The scripture that…

He knocked on the door, wondering how he’d be received when the door was opened.   His name was Onesimus, and he was a slave who had run away and was now returning. Returning to what he wasn’t sure.  We don’t know a whole lot about what happened between the time Onesimus had escaped from slavery…

Do you like buffets? Me, not so much now but when I was younger, I loved buffets. They were almost a challenge. My philosophy was, the first plate the restaurant wins, the second plate is a draw and anything after plate three meant you were the winner. How much is enough? Ferdinand Marcos was the…

Has anyone here ever grown fruit trees? Maybe an apple tree or a cherry tree. I am not a farmer or a gardener, but in 1990 we moved into a rented house we were told had five different fruit trees in the backyard.  When I heard that I thought, “wow that’ll be cool.” The day…
