Welcome to “Walking The Good Road”
Early Followers of Jesus were said to be “people of the way.” They were walking the road their Creator and Savior had prepared for them. As a fellow traveler on that road, I hope that some of these thoughts speak to you and encourage you.
And the Award goes to…
A fashionably dressed presenter rips open an envelope and announces the newest winner of the “something-or-other” award. The camera cuts to the audience, now standing and applauding. The winner makes her way to the stage to receive her trophy. This…
Duty is Ours, Results are God’s
Christians are a curious sort. They don’t easily fit into anyone’s mold. Not for nothing are they called “peculiar.” Sometimes they even seem to contradict themselves. One Sunday they sing: “This is my Father’s World,” and the next they may recite “This World is not my Home.” Well, which one is it? It can’t be both—or can it?
The Great Reveal

Desmond suffered severe ridicule, was beaten and hurt by his fellow soldiers and court-martialed for not following orders. I’m not ashamed to admit, it moved me to tears.
How to choose Leaders
The time for a new King had come. The first one had looked like a great one. He was handsome, a head taller than anyone else, impressive in every aspect.
