It’s only January 14th in my chronological Bible reading, and Jacob is already on the scene……………. tricking Laban in order to leave the family farm with a bigger flock. I’m amazed at how much deception has already been part...

I really didn’t want to go. I texted my associate minister early yesterday morning to see if he would send me notes from his Sunday School lesson and explained that I just didn’t think I was up for being around people but I hated to miss his last lesson on...

  It’s early on Thanksgiving morning, and our house is filled with sleeping people. In just a few minutes, though, the hustle and bustle of gathering supplies and heading toward Mamaw and Papaw’s will shove silence out the door and replace it with...
