MY SISTER, PAT ANDRÉ, and her husband, Larry, are major fans of the Gaither Homecoming DVDs. When I visit their place, we often watch two or three in a row.
So, having this Sabbath day posted two video clips below featuring Guy Penrod and David Phelps, I’d be remiss not to post at least one clip [...]

It Is Well!
IT HAD BEEN ONE OF HIS FAVORITE songs. Even as a boy, I’d heard him singing it in his baritone-bass voice. So as I grew from childhood to manhood, I’d found myself occasionally singing it too—always when I was quite sure no one could overhear me!
Though I’m only minimally gifted musically, I love this special [...]

No More Night!
MY READING FRIEND….are you experiencing right now your own “dark night of the soul”? Are you…or is someone near and dear to you…battling cancer or some other life-threatening disease? Have you recently stood at the graveside of someone you love, saying a heartbreaking good-bye?
Then today I have for you some Bible verses and a song. [...]

Madeleine McCann: The Rush to Judgment
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, I’VE FOLLOWED the gripping case of 4-year-old Madeleine McCann, who disappeared May 3 of this year in Portugal, where her British family was on vacation.
Police in Portugal have named Madeleine’s parents—Kate and Gerry—as suspects, based on so-far controversial evidence.
I don’t know with certainty whether the parents are guilty or innocent in Madeleine’s [...]

“I Only Have Two Dollars”
IF I LIVE OUT MY BIBLICAL “three-score and ten” (70 years), that means I’m here on earth for about 25,550 days. Now, I’m hoping to manage at least 80 years (29,200 days) or even 90 (32,850).
Well, the other day, I was pondering this bit of reality-check math and realized to my dismay that I’m already [...]

Suing God
NEBRASKA STATE SENATOR Ernie Chambers sued God last week. According to an AP report:
“Chambers says in his lawsuit that God has made terroristic threats against the senator and his constituents, inspired fear and caused ‘widespread death, destruction and terrorization of millions upon millions of the Earth’s inhabitants.’
“The Omaha senator, who skips morning prayers during the [...]

Seeing Through New Eyes
SOME TIME AGO, I WATCHED a particular episode of the TV medical drama “House.” In the series, actor Hugh Laurie plays Dr. Gregory House—a crotchety doc seemingly devoid of bedside manner but a brilliant diagnostician nonetheless.
In the episode, entitled “Human Error,” Dr. House tells a husband that his wife is technically dead and being kept [...]

Two Updates . . .
FIRST, YOU MIGHT ENJOY the video-clip update my son sent today, to my September 8 post below: “Always Right—Never Wrong: Fast Track to Disaster.”
SECOND, I FINALLY LOCATED an MP3 file of a song to which I referred in my July 21 post entitled “Blessing in the Thorn” (scroll through the July archives to locate [...]

Do You Have It?
I’M LOOKING FOR A COPY of a book, long out of print—which I read some years ago—on the topic of God’s character. The book is Behold Your God, by F. T. Wright. Can’t find it on the Internet or any source I’ve tried.
If you have a copy or know where I could get one, let [...]

God’s Third-Best Gift?
SOME PEOPLE, YOU COULD leave alone for decades—and they’d never do it. Others—you turn your back for five minutes, and they’ve done it twice.
Some people fear it, while others embrace it.
Some people desperately want to but can’t seem to make it happen; others will do almost anything to keep it from happening.
But inevitably, time alone [...]
