I still remember the moment like it was yesterday. It was the spring of 1997. I had just finished an offseason football workout that day after school. And I jumped in my black 1978 Cutlas Supreme and headed home. As I was traveling down Girkin Rd, I was just extra burdened that day. My 17yo…

I have a riddle for you this morning:  What is greater than God, more evil than the devil, the poor have it, the rich don’t need it, and if you eat it, you’ll die? The answer to the riddle is “nothing.” Nothing is greater than God. Nothing is more evil than the Devil. The poor…

A well-known author from England in the 1700s named Samuel Johnson once wrote, “People need to be reminded more often than they need to be instructed.” There’s certainly some wisdom in that statement.

One of the houses that we used to rent had an alarm system in it. I really didn’t think much about it. Out of habit, I would set the alarm at night before going to bed. But one night in the middle of that thing came to life and blared out. INTRUDER ALERT [SIREN] LEAVE…
