Over twenty years ago I was building a software development company. When I wrote Words for the Day on this day, I wrote this message to my followers: Several of my acquaintances of late have been criticizing my ambition and goal for desiring to make Horizon Software International the number one food service technology company in the WORLD . . . ht…

Yesterday I saw a large number of police cars with lights flashing at a rundown shack near Bentonia MS. I thought that possibly they got caught for selling drugs but when I bought some boiled peanuts down the road a little ways the guy selling them told me that a 12 year old boy had committed suicide. As I prayed for the youngster I couldn’t help b…

One time I was out on vacation and I was eating lunch in a small restaurant in the tiny community, (population 90) of Escarpment Wyoming. This establishment could have been right out of the movie set for Jeremiah Johnson and the owner fit the part. He could have played the part of any of the mountain men in the movie and he did not need a costume o…

Twenty years ago, I made this post. It seems to fit right into this year of troubles, gangs taking over apartments, fires, hurricanes, election rage, and riots, and forms an antidote to the poison. Is your world getting you down? Are you unhappy with your current status-quo? Norman Vincent Peale once said, “Change your thoughts and you change your …

One time a neighbor brought some collard greens over and told me to try them out and see if I liked them. He told me that they were different than most collard greens. I asked, “How so?” And his reply was that he didn’t know, but they were different and that I should try some . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2024/10/collard-greens/…

As of late, I have been practically lamenting life itself, and concentrating almost solely on the ugly things of life. A daily bombardment of bad news from the media tends to make us focus on the dark side of life. I was wondering yesterday why Satan gets all the press. I was talking to someone about painting and how much I enjoy art, and it made m…

Not too long go I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunrises that I’ve seen in a very long time. It was one of those fiery orange-red sunrises that reflects on clouds making them ten shades of orange and even the river was reflecting orange with beautiful violet-blue layers surrounding it. I walked out on my deck and took several photos of it, bu…

One of my readers whose conversations are always fascinating wrote and told me he retired but took a part-time job as a deliveryman so he would have something to do and remain mentally acute. He told me he didn’t need the extra money but having something to do during the week helped him mentally as compared to sitting around doing nothing. He also …

Good morning folks – I don’t know about you, but this is my favorite time of year. The mornings are cool and yesterday evening I caught myself rubbing my head against a tree, (in anticipation of the rut). LOL Seriously though life does seem to be going good now and I want to take advantage of every single minute of it for however long it lasts. The…

I am safely back home and while it is great to be at home I will miss those whom I met in Fiji. The people there are the friendliest and most joy-filled folks I’ve ever been around. I’ve had some time to think about this phenomenon and I truly believe the entire kingdom has been blessed by almighty God. The people there are very conservative and as…

One of the things I detest the most in life is being around someone who is bursting with pride. Arghhh! It is nauseating. I had not been around anyone like that in a while, but recently have had more than my share of witnessing a good dose of it first-hand. It reminds me of football season when some player achieves something like scoring a touchdow…

Recently I was talking to a friend and some of my other friends asked him if he went to church. He launched into a verbal assault of the church that was downright nasty. He went on and on about hypocrites and priests molesting boys, and preachers having affairs with secretaries and choir members, those preaching for mega bucks, and so on, and then …

I was on a plane one time and had just settled into my seat. An elderly man and his wife came up and she was seated in the window seat next to my aisle seat. He was seated several rows up towards the front of the airplane. I had already put my carry-on luggage up; however, I knew that he and his wife would want to sit together . . . https://www.wor…

I have struggled for years trying to discern what God wants of me. I wish He would just come sit on the couch with me one day and say, “Okay listen up, here is what I want you to do . . . I tend to think in terms of projects or things that He wants me to accomplish before I go toe up and depart this planet for good . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.…

I receive a wealth of requests to explain different passages from the Bible almost on a daily basis from folks I don’t even know. I’ve always felt uncomfortable about this because my education has not been formal but came through decades of reading and studying the Bible and various commentaries on my own. I feel the same sometimes about attempting…

A friend recently sent me a collection of sayings that were mostly written decades and even centuries ago, but have remained timeless. In fact, it gave me some comfort in knowing that we are not the first to face our nation’s current problems. Importantly former governments and their societies were shaped and ruled by miscreants too. Read this and …

I’ve had the seven deadly sins on my mind lately. For some strange reason I’ve heard that expression all my Christian life, but really didn’t know from whence it came. I’ve never read it in the Bible, and I wasn’t sure how one sin is worse than another, (save blasphemy of the Holy Spirit,) which is called out in Scripture as being unforgivable. Bas…

Tomorrow I will board a plane and head for Fiji. It is a 24 – hour flight so you might have some interruption in Words for the Day. I will do the best I can but there are many time zones and the International Date line with which to contend. I am worn out with doctor appointments, MRI’s, CT scans, cardiology tests, and Tuesday I had a 3 1/2 hr oper…

I know a guy who tells me that he is an atheist. He states that if God were to write His name in the sky He would believe in Him. I just laughed and told him that CNN would just explain it away as some type of natural phenomenon like a plane leaving a vapor trail and he would blow it off like he does everything else. God has done plenty more than j…

Are you under the assumption that there is no other God but the one that we know and love – Yahweh? Please explain the Ten Commandants when God said you will have no other Gods before me. I would interpret that verse describing several Gods. The plural literally means there are multiple Gods. We must just ensure we worship the only true God as it i…

I was looking through some old correspondence this morning and came across the following letter listed below. I don’t recall ever receiving it, but the words of encouragement were enough to make my day for sure. But it is also a reminder of the more somber note of facing God Himself which for all of us could come at any time . . . https://www.words…

I went pheasant hunting in Iowa one time and we had a great time. Prior to taking to the fields and our first hunt, we decided to shoot some clay targets to warm up. One of my friends owned the farm and recounted a hilarious story about a guy that went hunting with them who was very arrogant. He could not say enough about how great a shot he was an…

A very close friend of mine, Spike Crawford, dropped dead with a “widow maker” heart attack this week. He had as good of a Christian witness as I’ve ever seen. Today he is with Jesus walking the streets of gold I would imagine. From what I know of this man he was as good as they come. He lived his life to a point where people respected him and want…

I remember one of my sons coming down from Atlanta while Honey Lake Plantation was still under construction, and we rode around checking on our various projects together. I was most interested to see the look on his face when we walked inside Honey Lake Chapel. We had just installed the last of our stained-glass windows, (the oldest in the state of…

Good morning! I have some good news to report. I am halfway through my recovery process. I am reporting a miracle today. First and foremost, the majority of folks who have had this procedure people die from the brain bleed itself. Second there is almost always paralysis on one side of the body. I had neither . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/202…

Someone told me the other day that I needed to retire before “I work myself to death”. I replied that I’d never actually heard of anyone “working themselves to death”. He of course went on to tell me of various people he has known who dropped dead while hard at work!. I asked if the doctors had listed those people’s causes of death as “overwork”. H…

It’s not surprising that so much hatred exists when we are pounded 24/7 with inflammatory rhetoric by a press eager to accuse police of racism and attributing every arrest they make as an assault on innocent men and women of a different color. Sadly our presidential election and other influnces have also fanned those flames, all too often before th…

I was fishing offshore with some friends not too long ago and a little canary about two inches high lit on the back of the boat. You might not think that odd, but we were nearly forty miles out. A friend told me they come from the Bahamas and migrate to the Keys for whatever purpose and then go back. I see flocks of these little guys every year dar…

Margaret Sanger is credited with helping to found Planned Parenthood. In fact, it was over 100 years ago – on Oct. 16, 1916 – that Margaret Sanger opened the first birth-control clinic in the United States. She was an advocate for women’s reproductive rights who was also a highly vocal eugenics enthusiast. If you don’t know what that word means: It…

I was at the airport in Orlando not so long ago and I was preparing to go through the security line. A large family was ahead of me in line, (Mom, Dad, and three or four little rug rats’). All the small children had on tennis shoes. The father was telling all the cute little kids to take off their shoes, (and Mickey Mouse ears), in order to go thro…

I recently I read a quote that was rather interesting. It was written by Mae West and is as follows: “You only live once but if you do right, once, is enough), Hmmm – Interesting concept . . . So how do you live your life right? It does not go unnoticed that “if you do it right” has the word “right” ingrained in it, ( that is a short version of rig…

I asked God to take away my pain. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. Her spirit was whole, her body was only temporary. I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn’t granted, it is earned . . . http…

There is an old hymn that has lyrics stating in part: When we all get to heaven what a blessing that will be. I suppose the question is: Will we all get to heaven. A friend wrote this morning and yet again I was asked about those folks in remote lands who have never heard about Jesus and what would happen regarding their eternal destiny . . . https…

I was talking with my father one time about a tough decision that I was facing. He said rather casually that what I needed to do was to put it in the Lord’s hands and let Him tell me what to do. I impatiently responded that it is easier said than done. That is exactly what I have been trying to do. I have prayed and prayed over this decision and on…

Early in his career, famous evangelist Billy Graham was actively encouraged by a top scientist to keep an open mind about alternatives to his faith and actively investigate scientific alternatives to the Bible, “After all” there are many difficult questions that go unanswered in the Bible”. After much prayer, Mr. Graham decided instead, to rely on …

Albert Einstein once said: “A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it.” Just think about this very wise man’s application of his own wisdom; he completely avoided ever having the problem of a bad hair day by always having bad hair. LOL I suppose that was unkind, but one must admit it is kind of funny. All kidding aside, the man was …

I was on a plane to Minnesota a few years ago and experienced the most dangerous situation that I have ever encountered while flying. I had been flying for more years than I care to remember.

One time I was asked along with 40 or so other people to write an article about the Power of Prayer for the Washington Times newspaper. The contributors were very well known Christian leaders.
