Panic settled upon me after hearing how driven the state of Kansas has become in its effort to lure, entice, kidnap the KC Chiefs across state lines. Wouldn’t that be a federal offense?

During the past few months, I have had the honor of officiating at two funerals, and yesterday I attended a third funeral. There is one resounding principle that keeps ringing in my ears: the greatest gift ever is love. Yesterday’s funeral was for a member of my church family of 28 years. I came to this community to

given on October 12, 2008 This week a group of people showed up at our school when my co-worker invited them in. They were Superhero Riders. Now these individuals certainly did not match the mental picture I had of a Superhero. First I have to admit that I am not a comic book fan, nor

given on Sunday, September 21, 2008 This has been one of those weeks. Each of you knows what I mean; this week has been filled with all those irritations that just eat at a person. First there was the computer issue—I gave up and had to call tech support and that lead me to shipping

(given on July 27, 2008) Since Bruce and I got the new car, we have been listening to the satellite radio. One of the stations we have tuned in is the comedy channel. We have laughed so much while driving down the roads. An interesting thing about comedy is that the most gut laughter comes

(given on August 3, 2008) One of the most comforting smells for me is that of homemade, baked bread, I love bread and not just one kinds. I think sourdough bread is one of the best flavors, then there is cinnamon bread which even smells better while it is baking. Then there is pumpkin tea
