  • 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.”

  • Good News, Bad News -Elections in the Middle East

    The Middle East has long been a region full of turmoil and instability. It’s an area that the United States has a special interest in, whether it is our steadfast support for Israel or ensuring energy supplies are delivered out of the Middle East to avoid fuel and energy shortages. Over the past few weeks, several elections have occurred in the Middle East that could be indicators of how the region feels toward the United States.

  • Don't be ungrateful and miss your blessings

    French philosopher Marquise Magdeleine de Sablé once said, “Virtue is not always where it seems to be. People sometimes acknowledge favors only to maintain their reputations, and to make themselves more impudently ungrateful for favors that they do not wish to acknowledge.”

    As a columnist, I feel my job is more than to entertain. It’s also to pinpoint things in hopes to make life a little more better and understandable.
