This devotion is a true story that happened several years ago. It is a tragic story but one that ends with grace as only God can provide. I admire Peggy and her determination to let nothing mar her testimony for Christ. ** “And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship... Continue Reading →
Model A– Brian Pickering
While writing classic car profiles for a local publication, I've had the opportunity to meet several nice people. That's a huge plus with writing -- we may not meet in person, but when we begin discussing a common interest like old cars (I don't own one; just admire from afar), it's like we're friends. After...

Redeemed!
I wrote this devotion a few years ago. It has always been one of my favorites because I love the concept of being ‘redeemed’. We are truly worth nothing until God puts value in our lives with His love and forgiveness. Hard to understand but wonderful once it sinks in! Side note: My church used... Continue Reading →

Hades is one of the major Greek gods. The name also refers to Hades’ kingdom. Yes, Hades rules over Hades, that despicably evil... Continue Reading →

Several of my stories for the Ossian Sun Riser newspaper have been profiles on churches. This approach was done at my editor’s suggestion and it has been fun to meet so many great pastors and people who direct the spiritual health of the people in this area. Other profiles of churches will be posted... Continue Reading →
John Schreiber 1958 Chevy Bel Air
Every week I feature a profile of a classic car owner. This past year I interviewed several for a publication called Indiana Autos and RVs. It’s been fun talking with classic car owners, especially when they are already my friend. John and his wife Carol attend my church. ** It was an oddball year.... Continue Reading →
Go Boldly for God
This is part of an article that appeared the first Sunday of January 2007 in The Lookout (Standard Publishing), a Christian weekly publication that my church subscribes to and provides for members. In the publishing industry The Lookout is called a “take-home paper” because that’s what people do with it – they take it home... Continue Reading →
