If you’re anything like me, you don’t scan the restaurant, looking for familiar faces, or seek to go glad-handing when you go out to dinner. I would much rather head straight to our table and peruse the menu. Because, dinner. Dinner out! When I do happen to see someone I know, I might wave, but…
If you’re anything like me, you know you should read the Bible, at least once, for your own knowledge. But it’s hard, right? Nope. Not anymore. Oh, you can do that? In the mid ’90’s, I read the New Testament of the Bible, just because there was a challenge in the church bulletin, during Lent.…

If you’re anything like me, you have contemplated homeschooling. It’s natural to teach your child – starting at home.

If you’re anything like me, the whole Easter thing didn’t even click until you were an adult. I recall “Easter” baskets, candy, coloring dozens of eggs, and hunting for them.

If you’re anything like me, this Thursday – Maundy Thursday – you will be at your local church, God willing, to hear again the story of the Last Supper, and Jesus’ command to Love One Another. This week, Holy Week, is my most-cherished week of the whole year. Look at the events that took place…
If you’re anything like me, you’ve heard the saying, “Two is one, and one is none.” This is especially true when we’re building up a storehouse, filling our pantries and freezers, and purchasing enough toothpaste for the next several months. Our grocery budgets are not just for food, are they? Hair needs to be washed…
