Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Have you ever tried to plant grass on the side of a hill?  On my drive to school I would pass a small Baptist church, which has gone to battle trying to grow grass on a slope leading to a small water retention basin.  Early in the summer heavy rains washed out the young growth [...]

Christmas Greed

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

The following appeared a few years ago, but is worth repeating. Are your kids consumer junkies, expecting their next big “fix” this Christmas?

Recently Steve Cornell, Senior Pastor at Millersville Bible Church presented a seminar on Reaching The “Whatever” Generation to Christian School Administrators.

No Greater Joy

Friday, April 4th, 2008

3 John 1:4 “I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” There are a few things that bring me great joy.  Nearly all of them are costly.  A wonderful meal prepared and presented with perfection is one.  Funny how day old microwaved pizza on a paper plate [...]
