Jaxson & Blair

Broadcast Date: May 04, 2025
It was once said by a wise man that more religion is caught than taught. I think I believe that. The Apostle Paul said we should be “… an example of (all) the believers, …” (1 Timothy 4:12) You just never know who’s watching, as this story illustrates: One morning before kindergarten, six-year-old Jaxson came to his mother and asked if…

The Divine Smile

Broadcast Date: May 04, 2025
Not long ago, I became curious and studied a large collection of artists’ paintings of the Savior. I noticed that in nearly every painting, He was portrayed with a sober and serious expression.

The One-Way Street

Broadcast Date: April 27, 2025
I worked the same job, in the same place, while living in the same house for more than 15 years. And as part of that, I traveled the same route back and forth to work nearly all that time. Yet, one day while driving home from work, I had this most instructive experience. It had been a long day, and I was lost in thought. I saw the train coming and I tried to get to…
