Intelligence vs. wisdom Intelligence and wisdom…are seldom the same. Over my 78 years I have observed this to be the case. While intelligence might contribute to wisdom, they are most times poles apart. We can go to school which most of us do; we can read books, be taught by great teachers and even make […]
Snow birds GEESE…fly south for the winter, primarily for food and from the harsh Canadian and northern climates. It begins in the Fall when food supplies start diminishing. Yankees also fly south!

Responsibility Discipline…seems to be lacking in the lives of the majority of people today. You see it everywhere with families and unruly children. Many kids have never been given boundaries.

I would go further to even say that it means: I […]
Testimony Last Thursday, at the Fathers Forum, we were blessed by Chris Harden’s very thought-provoking and transparent testimony providing several passages of scripture to convey his message. Sharing his brokenness as a youngster with a father that moved out, you could tell it was still a tender issue in his life. After being beaten to […]
A father’s words We’re not talking about the prayer before a meal. The blessing pronounced by you on your children for their health and well-being for life is the subject we are addressing. It is a lost art in the American culture as a whole. While it can be a ceremonial act, it goes much […]
