I probably read something of Charles Spurgeon almost everyday. This man was called the Prince of Preachers and was a pastor of a megachurch in England in the mid nineteenth century long before the word megachurch was known. He suffered greatly with health and depression issues throughout his forty year ministry. I have rarely found in one person such sound theology and such a tender, empathetic … [Read more...] about Some Good Thoughts to Ponder by Charles Spurgeon

I held the ten pound, one ounce yawning bundle of preciousness in my arms. At that weight, my niece looked like a gorgeous three-month-old instead of a three-hour-old newborn she was.

A Great Teacher
I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. Psalm 119:102 I was hopelessly failing and there seemed to be nothing I could do about that fact. The first time I took Algebra 1, I was a freshman in high school during our year of furlough in the United States.
