Dropping The Jesus Bomb
Several weeks ago I was officiating a men’s league hockey game in Carmel, IN.

And the daily meditation from Charles F. Stanley read as follows… Though Jesus could stop the storm, oftentimes He doesn’t. Isn’t that the issue that makes us all struggle? If He is God and He is good – and He is – then why would He allow all the difficult things we have to face? […]

Over the years, football has played a major role in my life. I played organized football from 1959 through 1972 and over that period of time, I played in 113 football games (88 wins, 25 losses). Now, at 69 years of age, when I look back on it all and do the math, I realize […]
