Well, friends, you all just got a good chuckle out of that statement, I’m sure. WOW! As my ninety-one-year-old mentor continues to remind me, truly, we are in perilous times!

We've been thrown a curve, Yazoo

I remember it as if it happened yesterday. As a young man nearing fourteen, my mother, my sister and I had moved into a small house in town.

Yep! I know the time changes on March 8th – what’s the old saying, “Spring forward, fall back.” So, for you who are late sleepers, get over it! You’re gonna lose an hour of sleep. HA! Then again, I suspect that none of you really believe that I’m writing to weigh in on the good and bad of time change. . .

Ephesians 3 ends with this beautiful declaration which gives such a glimmer of hope in a dark and desperate world, but can we really bank on a life where this is true, really!?
