I recently visited my dad and mom at their home in Florida and had a great time sitting and talking with them. I am a bad son. When I get time away from the church I tend to visit my grandkids and I haven’t been down to Florida in several years. I was trying to […]

I am sitting in the Omaha airport waiting on my first flight of  the day. Will head to Minneapolis then JFK, where I will meet up with a team from Bart’s church (Bart remains in the Witness Protection Program).

I called to talk to Julie a moment ago to see if I could come by and see her father again. “Dad passed away this morning.” It left me with a feeling of guilt that I’ve experienced often before. On Monday, my supposed day off, I got a call from the father of a man […]
