One of my favorite TV characters said this in a recent episode. (I’ll send anyone who knows who said it a free copy of my new Dan’s Doodles II coloring book. And if you know who he said it to, I’ll give you a copy of my e-book Memory Making Made Easy.) E-mail your answer…

Do stingy and receiver seem like strange words to use together? I thought so too, until one day when I was standing in the checkout line at Wal-Mart. I was trying to be inconspicuous as I moved the hole in my stocking so it wouldn’t be so uncomfortable to stand on. The thought came to…

What would that look like? I’m assuming the Psalmist didn’t mean clean pots, but dirty ones. Ones that had…

“Oh God, thou knowest my foolishness, and my sins are not hid from thee.” Psalms 69:5 It’s a new day. I get up, spend my time with the Lord, and then rush off to greet the busy day. Reading God’s Word has helped me to place my focus on the Lord and I’m sure this will…

How many times do you think you’ve told or taught your children (and yourself) not to compare? Frankly, I’ve lost count. Just today the monster raised its ugly head again in our home.
