War & Peace

Happy Independence Day, Kids! During my walk, I listened to “Prisoner of Hope,” by the Gaither Vocal Band. The word “prisoner” just doesn’t seem appropriate on this day that celebrates our nation’s declaration of independence. I started to think about other words, like friends & foes, enemies & allies, victory...Read more

Free, but Forfeitable

Merry Christmas, Kids! The world will celebrate the birth of Jesus today, and I suspect that His words will be quoted numerous times. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” (John...Read more
Hope Has Helped Me Cope

Hope Has Helped Me Cope

Good morning, Kids. It’s hard to believe that it’s already been almost five years since we lost Mimi & Pa, and oh, how my life changed five years ago. But, thanks to them, I survived because of a solid foundation of hope that has helped me to cope. I’m thinking...Read more
What’s Written on Your Heart?

What’s Written on Your Heart?

Happy Valentine’s Day, Kids! Today’s reading reminded me of how my friends and I celebrated Valentine’s Day back in elementary school. I remember making mail boxes (complete with Valentine’s Day decor) and signing, sealing, & delivering a handful of Valentine’s Day cards (in a manner that would make any Postmaster...Read more

Let’s Be LAL This Year

Happy New Year, Kids! That’s right, let’s be LAL this year, and that is learning, alert, & loyal. It would be good to be LOL too (laughing out loud or lots of love). Peter concludes his second letter by saying, “You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard...Read more

Hello, Kids. After reading the title, I know what you must be thinking, “Is Dad seriously asking me if I am in shape?” And, rightfully so. Considering consistent workouts at Beatbox Fit & Lifetime Athletic, not to mention your athletic careers, I have no doubt that you all are in...Read more
God’s Country Is Always Great!

God’s Country Is Always Great!

Good morning, Kids. Today’s reading reminded me of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again,” because it sounds so similar to what God’s chosen people were constantly begging Him to do, that is, to “Make Israel Great Again.” And, then I realized God’s country is always great. The...Read more
Happy Memorial Day!

Happy Memorial Day!

Good morning, Kids. On this Memorial Day, it seems only fitting that today’s reading would include God’s commandments to the Jews that were designed to help them remember something very important, that He had redeemed them. God commanded the Jews to observe the Feast of Passover, the Feast of Weeks,...Read more
