Called by Name
Names distinguish us from everybody else so when Jason is called in from the playground, everyone else doesn’t come running.
God’s Little Man
We read about Zacchaeus in the Bible. People liked Zacchaeus about as much as we would be delighted to see an IRS agent for a tax audit.
My Claim to Fame
A thin line separates fame from being an object of ridicule. Is it possible to turn our reasons for embarrassment into something to be admired?
Caught Cheating
For years at work during lunch, I played double-deck military-style pinochle with the same three men. All were strong Christians.
The Dog Days of Summer
When the days get really hot, why do people call them “the dog days of summer”? Perhaps this term is no longer appropriate.
Seriously Funny
God has a sense of humor. We should know that since we were made in his image, and we love to laugh. God has a funny way of speaking to people.
Law-Abiding Citizen
How do we decide which laws to obey and which laws to ignore? The Jewish Law includes more than The Ten Commandments.
The Reality of Faith
Sometimes I hear people say all I have to do is believe and my dreams will be fulfilled. Is that true? No amount of believing can make the impossible possible.

That question was posed in The Field of Dreams movie in 1989, starring Kevin Costner.
Iron Sharpens Iron
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. — Proverbs 27:17 NIV Have you ever tried rubbing the edges of two table knives together? The edges won’t sharpen.
Fatherlike
I once heard a story about twin sons of a drunken bum. One became a highly successful businessman, an elder in the church, admired by all who knew him.
I Hate Book Signings
Years ago, I led a writer’s group that met in a Christian bookstore. When I drove up for the meeting, I felt lucky to find a place to park.
