  • Enjoy the fourth

    There’s always been something special about Fourth of July. I’ve loved it ever since I was a child. In fact, the kid in me never really grew up.

    One Fourth of July, when I was 8- years- old, my sisters and our cousins would always go to our grandparents’ house.

    We’d roast weenies and marshmallows, light sparklers, pop the champagne bottles that would shoot out confetti and streamers, and the infamous popping “dinky-do’s” that you’d throw on the ground. After that, the real celebration would start.

  • The Right to Revolution

    America is 233 years old this week.  

    Will there be many more?  One thing’s for certain, America’s form of government-- and the God-given privileges of liberty it uniquely protects-- depends upon popular renewal and eternal vigilance.  If we, the people, ever forget the principles of our great country we are sure to lose it.

  • When I stopped to listen this is what I learned

    As I sat in church Sunday, I listened while Dr. Kenneth Faught gave a sermon on a forgiving Father. This was an even more appropriate message since it was Father’s Day.

    I will admit, and I hope Dr. Faught will forgive this, my mind began to wander.

    My thoughts went to my own father- who died just over four years ago.

    Not a week goes by that someone I am talking to doesn’t mention what a good man he was.

    For those of you who don’t know—I am Glenn Morton’s oldest daughter.

  • If you had to do it again would you?

    What kinds of things would make you happy?

    Would it be eternal wisdom, fame and fortune, eternal youth? Well, I’m sure all of our responses are unanimous when it comes to eternal youth. There’s nothing like remembering every week on grandma and grandpa’s farm where you would help grandma with supper as grandpa would take you strawberry hunting in his garden. His rule was always what you picked was what you got to eat later on.

  • Learning some lessons a few days

    This probably the most unusual Father’s Day story I’ve ever written and you’ll ever read. However, knowing the big and loving heart my daddy had for people, I’m sure he’d agree that this story is needed, especially in this day and time.

    I remember the days before my father died. In fact, I vividly remember everything as though it was yesterday.

  • Father’s- Be Full of Good Works

    I often heard the saying “That any man can become a father by nature, but it takes a special loving father to be a Dad.” Children not only need a father that is loving, caring and compassionate but one that shows responsibility for setting the correct pattern for his child’s training, nurturing and discipline.

    Read Ephesians 6:1-3- Children obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

    Honor your father and mother “which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.”
