He dropped the writ, we’ve been waiting for it and wondering when it would happen and now it has happened. Dropping the writ is an awesome term. It is much classier than simply saying that he called an election. However it doesn’t really matter whether you are dropping a writ or calling an election the…
The End
That pretty well tied up the morning. Jesus has been teaching his disciples about a whole range of subjects involving the kingdom of God and now he ties it up with a pretty bow and hands it to those who were listening and basically tells them, “You are responsible for what you are going to…
Wisdom of the Ages.
Recently I have found myself immersed in a book of wisdom. I’m sure Angela is growing tired of my constant interruptions as I regal her with yet another new discovery. As I read I am constantly thinking:” Wow!” “Amazing” & ”I didn’t know that.” Stories of great achievements by folks with obscure names and stories…

Demons in the Grass
I drove by our old house the other day and the lawn looked great. I was a little concerned when put the sod down when the house was built. You see when the sod was delivered the driver told me that it was demon possessed. Honest! At least I think that’s what he meant when…
Would you like. . .
I read the other day that the most frequently asked question today was . . . “Would you like fries with your order!” Profound, to say the least. Now I did not read that the most important question asked today was. . . “Would you like fries with your order!”, just the most frequently asked,…
The Promise
