I remember hearing that phrase over and over every Sunday morning when my mom and dad would get us three boys ready for church.

Good Day to you! It’s kinda nice to have someone give us a nice warm greeting each day, isn’t it? I once knocked on a door of someone’s home as I was inviting people to a special event at our church, and was quite shocked when the owner of the home opened the door and, […]
So where was I? Oh yes! Now and Later candy. Yummy. Can use, re-use… even re-re-use. Only thing is – it will screw up your dental work! Man I could tell you stories of when our mouths would lock up during a Now & Later chewing episode. I remember I used to get scared as […]
Christmas is here! When I think back to previous Christmas Days, several memories come to mind. Of course I enjoy being with family, opening gifts, and eating delicious family dinners.

Many of you probably don’t know this but I was a cohost of a weekly talk show for three years on Omaha’s #1 talk station KKAR in the 1990’s called “Straight Talk”. It was a call-in show hosted by Ty Schenzel and his beautiful and über-talented wife Terri (ok Ty , if you are out […]
You know how you are walking or biking down a new trail that you have never been on before and you come to that literal “fork in the road”? If you are an adventurer like me, this is an exciting moment! “Two choices instead of one! My little adventure just got twice as exciting!” I […]
Someone mentioned this common Christian cliche’ the other day to a friend as I overheard them discuss how to talk to people who have chosen to live a sinful lifestyle – “Well you know, we got to earn the right to be heard. We can’t just go up to people and bombard them with our […]
