Can you find it? The speck in the ray of light. The pale blue dot in the vastness. It’s the earth from around 4 billion miles away. Yeah I know it’s hard to see, look again. In preparing this week’s lesson from the Treasure Principle I was reminded of something I had read from Carl [...]
Our oldest daughter Lizzy got a Nintendo Wii for Christmas. I had seen all the commercials and read all the hype, but let me tell you it’s truly a great family video gaming system!

This past weekend we made a one day round trip to Tuscaloosa to visit with JJ’s family for Christmas. Her cousin Mack graduated from the University of Alabama so we meet the family for lunch at The Cypress Inn Restaurant. We had a little trouble finding it, but after driving around an extra 30 minutes [...]
Our family has a Christmas shopping list that we keep in a spreadsheet on our computer. There is one name that was on the list last year that we don’t need to buy a present for this year, “Granny Davis”. You can read my blog about her passing here. It just goes to show that [...]
It seems that every year there is a new English Bible translation on the market. There is the good ole’ KJV of course. Then there is the American Standard, New International Version (The one I use the most), New Living Bible, The Message, Holman Christian Standard and many more. Well what do you know about the [...]
