Oh boy, are we going to have some fun in this post! It is about bartering, or trading goods or services without money changing hands. Say you've got some potatoes from your garden that I'd like to have, and I in turn, have a shovel that would work great in your garden. We agree on … Continue reading Barter

Recently we were watching an old Western movie, and the folks in the wagon train were grateful that they made it across the swollen stream safely. So they stopped to praise God. (Don't see that in many movies nowadays!) One gentleman was very enthusiastic, singing loudly and off key, but he didn't care, he was … Continue reading A classic re-imagined

I guess that's why I love the line in the song Away in a Manger that says “the little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.” So when I read this the other day about His precious … Continue reading A fall to my knees moment
I saw the flashing lights in my rear view mirror. I pulled over. When the officer came to my window he asked, "Do you know how fast you were going?"
