When I got home from a successful fishing adventure this morning, I decided that I still had enough energy left to wash and wax my 10-year-old Ford Ranger. The Ranger is my most recent fishing (and hunting) truck; and during the 10 years I have used it, it has performed well. My mechanic tells me it should keep going for a while longer. As I washed and waxed the dark blue truck, I noticed that it does sport a few bumps and bruises that I have inflicted on it over the years. My local body-repair...

As the trees in the valleys and on the hills and mountains of Pennsylvania become more colorful, I am reminded of several things. The seasons and leaves change but God never does. He remains faithful and unchanging. The Lord also creates beauty for his glory and our enjoyment. As you admire his handiwork, worship the Creator but not his creation. Proverbs 9 and 10 reminds us of how God's human creation will be much better off when they follow the way of the Lord. "Instruct the wise and they...

He was actually attacking God by using God's created human beings. They fell under Satan's attack. It saddened the heart of God. We dare not forget Satan is a deceiver and a murderer.

In 1974, Ireland was full of violence, chaos and havoc – but none of it was caused by the Williamsburg High School marching band's peaceful visit. Forty-six years ago, the WHS band, headed by Band Director James Gibboney (affectionately referred by many as "Gibb") made their way across the Atlantic Ocean to represent Williamsburg in band competitions. The year prior, the band was in New York City during the "Salute to Israel" parade where Ireland representatives saw the Williamsburg band in the...
