I will have to wait and see, but probably soon it will be going back up. By the way, the other gas locations near this one had the price of... Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Believe In Miracles?

Turning $5.00 into $500.00 Last Sunday I had shared with my congregation how someone had given me a check toward a $ 25,000.00 goal of raising money to cover this year's school deficit. When I first got the check, I read the amount real fast, and thought it read, $500.00, but a second look sobered... Sign in to see full entry.

How Many More Easters Will I See?

Tomorrow is Easter and I am 56 years old -- a sobering awakening to realize that I am only four years away from sixty. I am afraid I am not prepared for such a transition in my life how about you.

Why Read The Gospel of Judas When -

Lifetime TV presents the Gospel of Deceit. Did you watch this movie tonight? As a minister, I wanted to watch it. I watched it as I went back and forth from this movie and the Ten Commandments. As a minister, I found the movie as a Judas kiss. As an individual, I found the movie quite moving,... Sign in to see full entry.

Honey, Take The House Garbage Out!

Sadly, after the tornandoes in TN., the request is "honey take the house to the curb." The destruction is simply unbelievable. 7000 square foot houses reduced to nothing but pick up sticks. The power of mother nature when she is angry can be even greater than a nuclear bomb. My heart goes out to all... Sign in to see full entry.

My Internet Conncection Is Working Again!

Yesterday, I went a full work day without the internet. No break or lunchtime blogging, no e-mail, no research available, no reading of breaking news -- it truly was a "cold turkey" withdrawal day, and it was not fun. Careful, Mountain Climber, addiction or dependence upon such a vulnerable... Sign in to see full entry.
