Whose face is featured on the $10-dollar bill? Of course, it’s the face of Alexander Hamilton dressed in his 18th Century attire. His story is worth far more than the two Grande Lattes you could buy with that bill at Starbucks. Here’s a suggestion- take your money and buy a nice brew of coffee, sit back […]
What Really Matters?
“…One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.” I remember repeating those words everyday in school as a kid. You, too? They are words worth repeating, and more so, today, than ever before. This short phrase encapsulates the ideals that define America and foster the virtues of national unity, a lasting liberty and […]
The Day of Bad News
You’re about to wake up from a deep sleep. And once you do, you will anticipate a normal day. But little do you know that everything is about to change. It’s the day of bad news. You eat your breakfast unaware of the words you’re about to hear. Nothing out of the ordinary fills your morning; […]
Not Knowing
We are convinced the more we know, the better we are. A short sound bite on television called, “The More You Know…” gives listeners a pearl of wisdom or useful bit of information and concludes everyone is better off by gaining knowledge. We admire knowledgeable people. We deem people more valuable if they know mathematics, […]
God’s Peace
This world seems to get worse by the day! Do you see it? Our country is divided over so many issues. Anger runs hot. Suspicion is deepening; prejudice appears more widespread. Satan must be thrilled!

To End All Wars
Ernest Gordon was a remarkable Christian who passed away in 2002. For most of his life he served as the campus chaplain at Princeton University. He touched hundreds of lives over a lifetime and was well respected for his love for Christ and ministry to both students and faculty alike. But his Christ-like character was forged […]
Drowning
Life without hope is fatal. Take away someone’s hope and death is not too far away. Hope is like air to a drowning man, willing to sacrifice anything to get it. Out of desperation quick decisions are made to end a marriage, to move away, to end a pregnancy, quit a career or surrender a […]
From Vegas to Austin
Stephen Paddock was polite, unhurried and very friendly to everyone. He appeared to be the average vacationer ready to unwind for a few days in Vegas. After arriving at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, he tipped valets who drove him back and forth from the airport; chatted about sports to cab drivers and joked around with […]
Confidence
“Confidence” could be defined as, “finding courage and assurance in something”. I’m finding it in fewer places these days, aren’t you? Do you have confidence in your government, or in the stock market or in your own ability to face life’s challenges? If so, you’re probably a little disappointed. There’s a reason for the disappointment, […]
