Scarring About a month ago, I was diagnosed with A Fib heart flutter. I had fainted, had a high and erratic heartbeat. This led me to have a heart ablation procedure last week to get my heart back into rhythm. The cardiologist explained that he would be creating scar tissue on a certain part of […]
Impact I’ve taught in prisons and jails, juvenile detention centers and homeless shelters for the last 50 years. What I experienced recently provides the wind beneath my wings. Recently, after Covid weakened and Hutchins State Jail reopened, I started back teaching the Abiding Fathers curriculum there. Before the class started, a young man came in […]
Making an impact Rodney, a dad in Florida was introduced to From Faith to Faith material on a trip here to the Promise Keepers weekend conference last summer. He traveled a long way, probably as far as most that were in attendance. He came by the Abiding Fathers’ booth and got the book and study guide. About a month […]
The joy of the Lord Nehemiah had led the exiles back to Jerusalem to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. They had faced much opposition, but God prevailed in every circumstance.

We read and hear of delays in ports and terminals, and raw materials diminishing. All supposedly leading to hyper-inflation, here in America and around the globe. This is not a new […]

Is it the lack of respect for law, life or limb, impatient, selfish, stupidity or just like to live dangerously? Maybe the reduced police presence on the streets gives them liberty.
