Just a few short years ago, all of life as we know it, was threatened due to the “pandemic.” The “pandemic” threatened and seemed to affect every area of our lives from vacations to graduations, from family gatherings to BB tournaments, businesses and even Christmas. The pandemic was not the first time something threatened Christmas plans. Does a red-nosed reindeer named Rudolph come to mind? He had to save the day because of a blizzard. Even sooner than that threat came the biggest threat of them all. The account of this is...
Recently, our youth group got together and played a game in the dark called “Bonkers”. Every participant dressed in dark colors, but wore glow in the dark bracelets or necklaces. The goal of the game is to run around “bonking” the opponents with a sock containing flour. When you get hit, you stop until rescued by a medic.

This naturally led to a simple message about “bonk...
According to multiple websites, the average “holiday season sales” (a.k.a. Christmas) has increased every year since 2008, with Americans spending an average of $997.73 each Christmas.

Then there are those of us out living in the “real world” who understand that the learning really never stops, and often times have to take “continuing ed” credits, to keep us going. A clear testimony that there is always something more to learn. Continued education shows up in just about every walk of life or profession whether it’s to teach in sc...
A favorite pastime of my wife and I is to go thrift shopping and bargain hunting. Whether we are on vacation, or in the city running errands, we try to stop. Why? We enjoy the hunt; we enjoy the anticipation; we enjoy the thrill of walking away with a “treasure” someone else didn’t want! People have left thrift stores with famous works of art, valuable card collections, or even just a missing piece to the dinnerware or golf bag. They’ve left stores with a cartful of items they got 90% off of. Wherever they shop, the goal is...
