Jokes. Love 'em or hate 'em. These are clever and clean and might elicit a chuckle or two, especially the last one (my favorite). A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing. She would occasionally walk around to see each child's work. As she got to one…

The Academy Awards. It seems we either love them or hate them anymore. I rarely watch them nowadays. And usually I've only seen a handful of the nominees if that. "Movies aren't what they used to be" we often hear. And they're not. But really they are. They speak to…

Faith is often something we have for others. We believe in them and for them, and we pray accordingly. We know God is working in their lives and issues, and we sense answers on their way. When it comes to ourselves, well . . . Not so much. Why is that? I can't answer…

Monday arrives with the decimating loss in the playoff games for football fans of Denver, New Orleans, Houston, and Green Bay.
