Good Character and Bad
Good Character and Bad
There is a chapter in Ezekiel that deals with “character”. It contrasts four sets of people. The good person who always does what is good for the other person, the prophet says he shall live. But the evil person who only does what is evil, he will die. However, what if a good son is born of an evil father, but he doesn’t walk in the ways of his evil father, he does only what is good, that person also shall live. Yet if an evil son is born of a good father but all he does is evil, then he will die. We can all understand that, can’t we? But what about the evil person that turns to doing what is good and right and true and genuinely cares for the affairs of others, what about his life? Ezekeil says that he will live. However, what about the good person who turns to evil, what about his life? He, the prophet says, will die. Well, let me ask you this question, what, of the last two, would you remember? Only the evil things of the one who turned to good, or would the good things he does now, outweigh the evil things he did early in his life? And then what about the good person who turns to evil, wouldn’t you wonder what happened to that person? What made him turn to evil? In this case, if all he does now is evil, won’t those evil deeds stand out and nullify almost everything he did that was good? 04/03/2025 09:31 PM
Toy Soldier Arguments
Toy Soldier Arguments
When I was a child, one of my favorite go-to toys on a Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon was toy soldiers. I had a vast collection of small plastic army men that I could array all over the kitchen floor of my home or parade through the dining room, much to the chagrin of my poor mother. The armies I had acquired over the years ranged from simple green army men to Civil War soldiers of blue and grey. I even had a “Rough Riders” set that included Teddy Roosevelt and numerous charging infantry of the Spanish-American War. 04/03/2025 09:31 PM

Spend time with the Lord because without him, we are nothing
It was a very busy week last week for me. I spent the week in Groesbeck covering the Limestone County Fair. It was a great week. I love taking pictures and capturing memories that will last a lifetime. Although I only got a couple of hours of sleep a night, I am ready to do it again next year. Thank you Limestone County for having me over for the third straight year to cover your county fair. 04/02/2025 11:00 PM

What is a vocation? Oxford Languages - “A person’s employment or main occupation, especially regarded as particularly worthy and requiring great dedication.” Comes from the Latin word “vocare” which means “to call”. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everyone could find their true vocation and not just a job? Events such as our College and Career Showcase may just be the catalyst for our students’ journey to identifying their calling. 04/02/2025 11:00 PM
