My “To Do” list for when I get to Heaven is growing. The first hundred years, I want to stand on the Mount of Olives overlooking the New Jerusalem and praise God for His faithfulness and loving kindness and mercy to me. Then I have to find Ezekiel. I have to tell him that I read his book, and that what he said set me free from believing that I was under a curse from my father. I don’t know…..

The Big Lie

Brian Williams was just caught lying about being attacked in a helicopter in a war zone. Dan Rather was caught in a lie trying to influence the outcome of an election. “What difference does it make?” Our government is a republic, not a democracy.

Pants on Fire

Admit it. Just once you would like the see their pants burst into flames. Liars. They are all around us. These days lying seems to have become an art form.

I never smoked, but I was born with asthma and my father smoked. The coughing was not only keeping me from sleeping, but it was painful. It was like being hit by a Hindu bed of nails in the front of my chest and then, a second later,…..

In “Choosing Life,” I told you about my dysfunctional family. Both my mother and my father were damaged people. They disowned me in 1975. In 1980, my father left my mother for a woman younger than me. My mother had been a diabetic since 1943. so my father left a very sick woman. He drained her bank accounts. I re-established contact with her when I learned that my father left. In 1987, her kidneys failed. I brought her into my…..

In “Choosing Life,” I told you that I was a single parent raising two boys. When I bought our house, I bought it because it had three bedrooms and the garage had been converted into a pool room complete with a pool table. I didn’t even look at the kitchen. I don’t cook. The boys would bring their friends over to play pool. I would sit in the family room, with the door to the pool room open. I had…..
