Dear Lord,
So far today,
I’ve done all right.
I haven’t gossiped.
I haven’t lost my temper.
I haven’t been greedy, grumpy,
nasty, selfish or overindulgent.
I’m very thankful for that.
But in a few minutes, God,
I’m going to get out of bed;
and from then on, I’m probably
going to need a lot more help.
Amen

“And The Lord Said…”
And the Lord said, “Go.”
And I said, “Who, me?”
And He said, “Yes you.”
And I said, “But I’m not ready yet, and I’m busy with school, and I have this paper that’s due, and you know we have that game this week.”
And He said, “You’re stalling.”

The Father’s Eyes
Bob Richards, the former pole-vault champion, shares a moving story about a skinny young boy who loved football with all his heart. Practice after practice, he eagerly gave everything he had. But being half the size of the other boys, he got absolutely nowhere. At all the games, this hopeful athlete sat on the bench [...]

A Portrait of the Heavenly Father
Many years ago, as a teenager, in fact, I heard a wonderful sermon from Dr. Robert Ashcroft, the father of our present Attorney General of the United States. Dr. Ashcroft's message was called "A Portrait of my Heavenly Father." He took a small picture from his billfold and told us it was his earthly father and then gave us a verbal picture of him. "Now," he continued, as he picked up the Bible, "let me give you a portrait of my Heavenly Father."The 57 Cents That Made History
