Fire Takes No Holiday

More than one third of Americans use fireplaces, wood stoves and other fuel-fired appliances as primary heat sources in their homes. Unfortunately, many people are unaware of the fire risks when heating with wood and solid fuels. This is a time of year when fireplaces are used much more frequently, as well as chimneys and

Real Kindness Seeks No Return

During this time of year, it is not uncommon to hear of kind acts shown towards our fellow man. You probably saw an “Angel Tree” in several businesses, as well as in most churches. Picking an angel off a tree and knowing that you would be able to fulfill the wishes of a little child

Thy Will Be Done

This Christmas season, I want to take a few moments and share something that is very sacred and dear to me – my testimony of Jesus Christ. This is not an attempt to preach or convert. I truly respect those of all beliefs, as well as those who believe there is nothing more after this

Don’t Be The Weakest Link

Firemen go into burning buildings as a team. If the one carrying the hose has not previously checked to see that it is working, what could happen? He would not only be endangering the lives of his fellow firemen, but perhaps the lives of the family in that burning home as well. Performance is a

Tallying Your Talents

Many people waste a lot of energy wishing they could do things that they can’t. When we see exceptional athletes, such as Michael Jordan or Larry Bird, some of us want to be just like them; or we hear a stirring speech from John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King, who could inspire so many

Planting Seeds Daily

Do you think you would have a garden if you planted 3 seeds a day – starting today? How long would it take before you would see a full garden growing? Some flowers will pop up right away. Others might take a little longer. Oh sure, you’ll have weeds come up as well; but carefully
