To say I could have been a better student in high school is a bit of an understatement. In fact, I was on the “five-year plan.” That is why I say being a senior was the best two years of my life. That was my story before coming to know Jesus at nineteen years of age. Once I became a Christian, I became a consummate student. So much so, I peaked in college, graduated with an undergraduate degree in Biblical studies, and made it a point afterward to read one hundred books a year. I kept this habit until I […]

Our nation was shocked on a spring day in March, when a shooter broke into a Christian school in Nashville, Tennessee, and slaughtered three students and three staff members. The three students at The Covenant School, run by Covenant Presbyterian Church, were just 9 years old, and the three adults who died included the headmaster, a custodian and a substitute teacher. One of the students was the daughter of the church’s pastor. Thanks to the heroic actions of officers from the Metro Nashville Police Department, further bloodshed was avoided. They responded within 13 minutes, swept through classrooms and ran toward […]

Studies show that being a lifelong learner can benefit your mind, career, mental health and social life, but it also takes some investment of time and resources.

With another Memorial Day upon us, it’s great to remember those who laid down their lives for their country. On November 21, 1864, President Lincoln wrote to a Mrs. Bixby of Massachusetts, who had lost five sons in the Civil War. He wrote her, “I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.” Then he added this beautiful prayer: “I […]

Today, I […]
