“Quite A Character”

People who wonder if the glass is half empty or half full miss the point. The glass is refillable.

Today’s column is dedicated to the characters who stand out in my life.

When I was a kid, for reasons I never inquired about, my parents befriended a criminal. His name was Jim. I remember we prayed for him on a regular basis. He was in jail at the time and when he got released, the whole family rode in our station wagon to the jailhouse to pick him up. Dad went in the front door of the jail and reemerged a few minutes later, got back in the car, and drove around to a side door where Jim came out. It was late spring and windy and cold that day. All I remember is Jim standing next to a cinder block wall as the door closed behind him. Freedom.

Easter holds a special place in my heart because while I was yet a sinner
Christ died for me!
Mary Magdelene also learned this truth and shared it with others. I have
a monologue spoken through the eyes of Mary. It can be read, portrayed
as Mary with few props, or turned into a complete Easter program. If
you or your church would be interested in using it please contact me at
mdjones11@att.net. I will be glad to forward you a copy.

Fellowship of Christian Farmers February 21, 2021 “R & R”   My wife and I just got back from a little vacation. We were gone for ten days. It was during that cold snap where it was below zero everyday and it snowed a lot too. We missed it all, but when we got back […]

As Kathy and I start another year, our 22nd, working with the Fellowship of Christian Farmers we thought a short note to bring you up to date would be appropriate. Romans 12:12 “Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” What a good word of encouragement to each of us to grab on to as we navigate the challenging times we’re experiencing. I’ve attached a picture from three years ago to illustrate some of the challenges of being on the road.
