Cheryl Hughes: Extras

I have ten extra pairs of shoes…I counted.  I’m not talking about my personal shoes, like church shoes, tennis shoes, sandals and flats.  I’m talking about extra pairs of shoes in various sizes.  Some of these shoes have been worn by me or Garey or one of my daughters.  I’ve also picked up a few cheap pairs at yard sales.  I keep them for emergencies.  Not the kind of emergencies like the house is on fire, and I’ve got to jump into a pair on my way out or someone shows up at my door, wearing no shoes, although the extras would work in either of those situations.  The emergencies I speak of

Jarrod Jacobs: "Some Things We Cannot Change"

In the long ago, Solomon said, “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered” (Ecc. 1:14-15). This is a hard truth for many to grasp. Put simply; there are some things in life that we cannot change! In this article, I want us to note some things that men cannot change.

Jarrod Jacobs: Longing for God's Word

Psalm 119:20, 40, and 131 state very interesting thoughts. In Psalm 119:20, we read, “My soul breaketh (is consumed) for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.” Verse 40 says, “Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.” Verse 131 states, “I opened my mouth, and panted; for I longed for thy commandments.”
