Most of the world used to believe that the world was flat. Scientists once said that it is impossible for bumblebees to fly because their wings are not large enough. The sports world used to believe that it was physiologically impossible for anyone to run a mile in under four minutes.

Are You Willing to Take a Step of Faith?
I grew up in Batesville, MS, and I discovered a bit of local trivia while in school. Though Batesville is where the main county government activities happen, Panola County has two county seats (Sardis and Batesville). Before the benefits of modern technology, the Tallahatchie River split the county and was not traversable at certain times … Continue reading Are You Willing to Take a Step of Faith?
Has Life Become Stale?
I still remember the day – and the disappointment. I was a poor seminary student, and I decided to splurge and buy a big shrimp po’boy at Glynn’s Drive-in in Bogalusa. I got the big one, so I could have leftovers. That first half (hot and fresh) was wonderful, and I looked forward to eating … Continue reading Has Life Become Stale?

You Don’t Have to Be a Failure
Have you ever failed at something? OK – that is a silly question because we know that everyone fails at some point. I suppose that I should ask what you did after failing. Nobody wants to fail, and nobody likes failing. However, if you look back, you can see that failure offers you an opportunity … Continue reading You Don’t Have to Be a Failure
Are You Afraid to Open the Door?
When I was young, I had a lingering wish that often moved over to my dreams. I envisioned Ed McMahon knocking on our door with that giant check from American Family Publishers. It never became a reality, but I enjoyed wishing for it. I have a feeling that if a company tried to do that … Continue reading Are You Afraid to Open the Door?
Can I Really Have a Better Future?

Do You Really Know Him?
Have you ever asked someone about another person with a question like, “What is he/she really like?” The idea behind that question is that we want to know about someone at a deeper level. We know what the person seems to be like or what their public perception is, but we want to know more … Continue reading Do You Really Know Him?
