I have yet to meet a person who would consider himself a fool. In fact quite the opposite is true. Most would see themselves as wise and sagacious, with keen understanding and perception. The criteria though, often used for self-evaluation, tends to be subjective. So...
Oops! My Tongue Slipped
In the last blog I spoke of my own struggles in trying to clean up my language and the internal angst that I felt in not being able to do this.Though I do not like to think of myself as living with "hypocritical behaviour", only until I "fessed up" was I able to take...
Oops! My Tongue Slipped
Early in my life I had a foul mouth, what some would call a "potty" mouth. My vocabulary could be quite expressive. Whatever group I was with, especially work colleagues, reflected what kind of words I used. If they flowed with the "f..." bombs I could keep up. If...
The Gift Of Teaching
"Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that greater judgement we will receive" (James 3:1) Such a somber statement by James can cause one to pause as to whether it is better not to be a teacher so as to not incur this greater judgement. Two...
Opinions Are Only That
This fall I had a health scare: incoherent speech, drooling and numbness. I felt that I was having a stroke. Esther quickly drove me to the hospital and I was wired up. Being somewhat a private person I was suddenly the center of attention and felt not only the...

Missions And Support
In my work in third world countries there is a common theme that has surfaced that seems to be an indictment against the North American church relating to missions. I am sure that one cannot generalize and say that all fall into this category but it is there,...
The Silent Voice – Part 2
I have appreciated the kind words shown after the last post. I think many people can relate to the silencing of the voices of what most of us would consider the majority in favor of those with political and financial clout. Some politicians glibly tell us that if we...
The Silent Voice – Part 1
I struggled with this blog over the last 2 weeks. As harsh realities regarding financial decisions are being made at all levels, the voice of those most affected tends to be silenced, even neglected. Charities are not exempt from failing to hear the voice of the...
Wisdom Gives Clarity
Last week there was a news report of a gold prospector in Australia who searched out and found a nugget weighing over 100 ounces. In the same paper I read of another gold prospector, in his quest to discover the mother lode, lost his family in this pursuit for wealth....
