I’d love to hear any thoughts you have on a post or the website.

If you live in the South you know this, but if you grew up in the South you understand it’s a way of life. You take it for granted that with spring comes azaleas, dogwoods, pollen and bad weather. Fierce thunderstorms and occasional tornadoes dot our existence. Every so often, they result in the tragicContinue reading “A Tornado and a Tragedy”

What Will They Remember About Us?

Anyone who has lived in Arkansas knows who Paul Eells was. Before his death, he was the “voice of the Razorbacks” for almost thirty years, Sports Director at KATV in Little Rock for the same period of time, and Arkansas Sportscaster of the Year eleven times. The Wikipedia page on him probably sums it up best when itContinue reading “What Will They Remember About Us?”

The Death of Despair

After capturing Chattanooga in the spring of 1864, General William Tecumseh Sherman pointed his troops toward Atlanta. Joe Johnson and his men met him in the mountains but were badly outnumbered. The fighting was fierce but Johnson’s line held. Then Sherman’s troops flanked Johnson’s on the southern side where the railroad was. Because the supply lines had to beContinue reading “The Death of Despair”

Searching for Pearls

Muhammad Ali is quoted as saying, The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life. Getting older doesn’t guarantee wisdom, but it definitely helps! So much of life is learning by doing (from riding a bicycle to parenting). The longer we live and the more weContinue reading “Searching for Pearls”

One of the challenges he faced when he came to power was the kingdom had been at war for two centuries due to either the expansion of its territories or internally though civil war. The result was a significantContinue reading “Pax Romana and the Peace of God”

Mind the Gap

London’s subway system is usually referred to as the Tube. It’s the oldest underground railway in the world (1863), and second largest in the world, serving 270 stations. The deepest tube is almost two hundred feet below the ground and during WWII, many of the tunnels were used as bomb shelters. There are 422 escalators that move peopleContinue reading “Mind the Gap”

Great in God’s Way

We had the opportunity to travel to Greece several years ago. Our youngest daughter was there as part of an international study program associated with Harding University. Their Greek campus was located just outside of Athens, so we were able to go to the city a few times and see many of its sites (including the Acropolis).Continue reading “Great in God’s Way”

Blind Spots and Due Diligence (2)

When Jesus spoke to the church located at Sardis, they were making the same mistake spiritually that their descendants had made militarily centuries before. They had a reputation and they were arrogantly living off of that. Because of their overconfidence, they had left some things unfinished that needed to be done—but they didn’t care. They had started believingContinue reading “Blind Spots and Due Diligence (2)”

Blind Spots and Due Diligence (1)

All of us have a blind spot in regard to ourselves—it’s part of the human condition. There are things about ourselves, both good and bad, that we simply don’t see (Psalm 19:12 speaks to the bad). Other people, perhaps many, are aware of these things but we’re not. So it’s best to have a spirit of humility and not takeContinue reading “Blind Spots and Due Diligence (1)”
