It gets hot in the southern Jordan Valley.  When visiting the country of Jordan in 2018 we went down to the Jordan River one day to visit the site where John the Baptist was located and where Jesus was baptized, at Bethany Beyond the Jordan, which is just across from the ancient city of Jericho.  Jericho is on the edge of the mountains that rise-up from the valley to the west, a few miles from the...  Read More

If you are a friend of mine on Facebook, you know that I love to take pictures.  It’s one of three reasons I participate in that social media format (to see pictures of our kids and grandkids, to connect with people I might not otherwise, and to enjoy posting pictures).  It’s been a passion of mine since high school when I was the school photographer for two years (my kids would think I’m ancient ...  Read More

Imagine Jesus standing in front of a crowd of thousands, about to deliver what we know as The Sermon on the Mount.  How could thousands of people hear him?  Did just a few up close hear, in reality; and then they spread the message to those further out in the crowd?  What is going on here?When Rexanne and I visited Jordan in 2018 and went on our last full day to Umm Qais (ancient Gadara), we stood...  Read More

MASTER Provisions was officially established in June 1994 and is headquartered in Florence, KY.  SHCC has “walked” with and supported MASTER Provisions since 2001.  It started (through chance) when the President and Founder Roger Babik needed a place to stay on a trip to Oklahoma.  After making a call to a church halfway to their destination they ended up staying with the late Bill Adams and Franc...  Read More

I was very sorry to hear about the death of Sam Stone, former editor of the Christian Standard Magazine, a primary periodical of the Restoration Movement since the CS was founded in 1866. It has been a voice of our movement since the time of Alexander Campbell, a chief spokesman during his time, with Campbell dying just before the magazine started.  Another founding father was Barton W. Stone, a p...  Read More

I’ll admit that I like the TV show Seinfeld.  In one-episode Jerry’s friend George says, “My life is the opposite of everything I want it to be.  Every instinct I have, in every aspect of life…it’s all been wrong.”  Jerry replies, “If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.”  George agrees and decides, “Yes, I will do the opposite!”  He proceeds to test this the...  Read More

This has been a long series, punctuated by reflections of several “mission” trips Rexanne and I have taken over the years.  I’d be remiss to end this series without this last article on walking by faith.  I hope you know that we all have a “mission” as Christians, this word is not restricted to those in parachurch organizations, or those serving as “missionaries” in foreign lands.  I am a missiona...  Read More
