My Logbook
Lessons from my logbook I have a logbook containing information for all 1,392 flights I have ever taken. It begins in 1952 with a short 90 mile flight from Havana to Miami with my parents after a series of evangelistic meetings there. That was my second shortest flight. The longest covered 7,450 miles (Los Angeles […]
Jabez
He was just a kid with an unfortunate name. Living in a time when your name carried the imprint of what your life would become, you wanted your parents to name you well. Some parents didn’t! Take Jabez for example. In the Bible’s Year Book section of First Chronicles (chapter 4) we find Jabez tucked […]
God’s Part – My Part
Need a door opened in your life? “I see what you’ve done. Now see what I’ve done. I’ve opened a door before you that no one can slam shut. You don’t have much strength, I know that; you used what you had to keep my Word. You didn’t deny me when times were rough.” Revelation […]

Will There Be Egos In Heaven?
What gets me into heaven? God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Ephesians 2:8 New Living Translation Imagine heaven with egos! If what we did or who we knew or what we possessed or how smart we were could get […]
Love Is Also A Verb
Love God and Love People Several years ago songwriter Derric Johnson wrote a musical about marriage. In it was a song containing this verse: Love is something that’s real; love is something that’s true; love is something you feel; but most of all, love is something you do.
