"Cat's in the Cradle" is a 1974 folk rock song by Harry Chapin. Most of you will recall that it is about a father who was much too busy to interact with his son. The song was popular when my oldest son was a boy. Chris would simply say to me, “Cat’s in the Cradle” when he felt like I was negle...

I loved summer as a kid. I associated summer with freedom: freedom from school, teacher’s, and homework. On the last day of school each year I was excited, and at the same time, anxious. I was excited to get home and get started on all of my summer plans. As I skipped home from elementary school o...

Adrian, now in heaven, was my friend. Like me, he loved old cars. He had a beautiful, restored 1929 Ford Model A. It was black and yellow with a ragtop, and a rumble seat. It was Adrian's baby. His granddaughter Angie was getting married. She said, “Papa, why don’t you take us to our car from th...

We both knew that she was stealing from me. I was cementing rock to our home’s foundation, which requires quite a bit of masonry mix concrete. She was a wasp. Maybe you did not know that only female wasps build the houses their babies are hatched in. Motherhood is a tough job by any standard.This ...

Contagious. Even the word sounds deadly. COVID. Bird flu, Mumps, Chicken Pox, and tick-borne illnesses dominate the news. Coming into contact with contagion isn’t a good thing. Even so, nearly every Christian wants to be part of a contagious church. I believe that the people of SHCC want to be cha...

My mentor, Dr. Stephen Olford encouraged me by saying, "Pray if you feel like it! Pray if you don't feel like it! Pray until you do feel like it!" I like that. A new time of corporate prayer has been added to the SHCC schedule. "Come and Go" prayer meets on Tuesday mornings between 6:30 and 8 a.m. T...

In the springtime, a young man's heart turns to love. I think that old maxim is true. It was for me, anyway, during my High School years. (Yes, I do remember something about those days!) I think we should add something to the maxim, though. It would be better said, "A young man's heart turns to love...

There is a nice rental cabin resort south of Cassville on Highway 112. Out front there is a changeable letters billboard. Right now, the sign reads: “Spring is here! I’m so excited I could wet my plants!”The tongue-in-cheek pun is one I can relate to. I get excited about Spring. I wait for spr...
