If you've read my posts, you know I'm an old HAC grad. There are lots of things to gripe about, but I've been there and done that. Since I didn't learn much about church education, other than the obvious negative things, at HAC, I'm wondering if some of you older folks would like to tell what...

I'm not worried about Trump's Cabinet picks. I watched his show, "The Apprentice", more times than I care to remember. I think he enjoys saying, "you're fired!" Below is a partial list that I copied. If you feel comfortable looking at mainstream media for a moment, you'll find the rest of the...

If your candidate does not win, what are your plans? I hope no one ever storms the Capitol again. Our country can survive many things, but fights and factions from within may be how democracy gets a little dimmer.

My HAC days are long behind me, but every once in a great while, a memory will come through. This morning, I woke up and thought about the phrase, "There was a woman in the church." Mrs. Evans often used the phrase, "there was a woman in the church." Usually what followed was the recounting of...

Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. -Matthew 5:13 (KJV) Salt purifies. It gives flavor and is used as a preservative. As Christians...

I heard this story by Lewis B. Smedes for the first time this morning. Perhaps you've heard stories that changed you. Please share. FORGIVE and FORGET - Lewis B. Smedes THE MAGIC EYES - A Little Fable In the village of Faken in innermost Friesland there lived a long thin baker name Fouke, a...

I've been reminiscing about the seventies and my HAC roommates. Many moons later, it's time to write a brief letter. If you have a story to tell, it's time. Dear Sandra, I'm sorry I ate your chocolate candy that sat on our bookshelf for months.......lol I'm sorry I woke you up Sunday...

I read "Atomic Habits" recently and enjoyed it quite a bit. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend it, especially since a new school year is starting soon. I'd like to know what habits you have incorporated into your life that make for better days. There are so many things we do without...

It's a can of worms............. Wow...just wow! Time to take a vacation......I'll check back in a month or two.

I'm glad she's sharing her story. It takes courage.

So sad. I can't fathom a true believer acting in this way. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/texas-megachurch-pastor-resigns-amid-allegations-he-sexually-abused-a-minor/ar-BB1owezZ?ocid=BingNewsSerp...

In light of the fact that more than one pastor of a large church has recently resigned and/or admitted to inappropriate behavior, let's all memorize the following verse from Matthew 18:6: "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them...

The last several decades I've heard the rhetoric on both sides which begs the question, "Can a Christian be a democrat?" The way most of you talk, it sounds like the answer is no.

Just for fun, who would you give a doctorate to and why? I don't just mean giving the doctorate to someone for reciting scripture, although that is a good thing to do. I mean like a friend or a public figure. It's Christmas - give an honorary doctorate away! It costs nothing.

My stomach turns just a little bit more when I realize how many IFB preachers were given the title, "Dr." when they didn't attend one accredited university! Come on! Am I alone?

It seems abundantly clear to me that by the time Dave H. became pastor at Miller Road in Garland, there were many people who knew many things about him. How many girls/women do you think there were? I guess the timeline doesn't really matter - before, during, after. Why do you think pedophiles...

Three small brothers sat under the West Texas sky one night long ago. They marveled at the stars and wondered where they would be in the year 2000. The youngest brother, a Methodist minister, told the story of his two older brothers that same year, as the family sat at his oldest brother’s...

I sat through a couple of Church History classes when Dave Hyles taught it at HAC. I didn't get much out of it. I find myself in my older years fascinated with the history of the church. Below is a link that I found this morning that might be helpful to those interested...

Remember when Bill Clinton was president and everyone was quoting II Chronicles 7:14? "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."...

Recent studies have shown that it is helpful for each of us to tell our stories. Below is one of mine. When I was much younger, I worked as a legal secretary in a large metropolis. I tell this story in hopes it will help someone else. The names have all been changed. I was devastated when it...
