Serving God with His people at Faith OPC has been a great joy and blessing. When I grow up, I want to umpire Little League Baseball. I will revel on that day when I can say to a 10-year-old boy after four pitched balls, "Take a walk in the sunshine." My wife of 30+ years, Peggy, consistently demonstrates the love of Christ and remains my very best friend. Our six children, our four lovely, sweetie-pie daughters-in-law, and our four grandchildren serve as resident theologians.

A Focus on the Text

The example of Bible Bee students

Romans 1:1-7 has caught my attention for memory work. I landed there thinking about the students of the up-coming Rogue Valley Bible Bee on August 28th.
The near-30 children and young people are breathing out the verses to the glory of God. It’s amazing—in many cases, these students are memorizing 5 to 7 verses each day. Some are well up to 200 verses that they’ve mastered.
Their example has pushed me forward.
