That word, air, always makes me think of Michael Jordan. Air Jordan. Who earned that nickname by gliding ten feet in the air from foul line to rim, seemingly without effort, capped-off by an imaginative slam-dunk rarely seen by anyone else before. Or since. But in this post I’m talking about actual air. You see, […]
Imagine this scenario: a person commits a crime, is guilty as sin (literally!) but when going to trial, when entering the courtroom, sees that his defense attorney is also the judge and jury! Sounds silly in light of how our legal system actually works, but did you ever realize that this is EXACTLY how it […]
I’m writing this on October 31. While the world wilts at the thought of ghosts and goblins and other mythical creatures, I’d like to share with you what I think actually is THE SCARIEST thing in the universe. Bar none. You might think I’m talking about hell, about spending all eternity in fiery torture and […]
… to Sunday school teachers. Are they THE BEST or what?! They don’t do it for money or praise (since they get the latter so infrequently, and the former almost never) but rather give a good deal of their precious time for one reason: to help others, often the next generation, often children.

When it comes to mistakes, I see so many of my own through the years that I simply don’t have time or space to look at other people’s errors very much at all. But one of the most common mistakes I see people – especially those working in the stock market or – making these […]
I’m sure all of our parents used this phrase often when we were growing up. “It’s like riding a bike!” (That, and “When I was your age I had to walk ten miles in four feet of snow to get to school. Each way!” God bless all the parents out there.) Well I actually was […]
At the very moment the Lord laid on my heart this calling to memorize the ENTIRE BIBLE and then recite it, recite His Word and words back to Him as a love/thank-You gift for all He does and who He is – not just from me but from and on behalf of every person who […]
I used to enjoy eating dinner out at various restaurants, but ever since the Lord laid this historic effort and burgeoning ministry on my heart and led me to commit my entire life savings to this, I haven’t eaten out, not even a single time, so let’s just say I’ve been doing a lot more […]
You probably think this title refers to the Bible as set forth so beautifully in Psalm 19:10 and just thinking about that verse makes me sorely tempted to change lanes and go there but I’ll stick with the plan and discuss a different kind of gold. Specifically, the “golden rule”. I’m sure 99.9% of us […]
When I was a child, my parents maintained a good disposition but from time to time, like most parents, like most people, they’d get shocked or disappointed or miffed by various things life would throw their way and my dad’s reaction in particular was always the same. One word. “Mercy.” Or if the situation was […]
