Wagner: Dear Crabby Answers Your Questions
The older ones among us doubtless remember. Back in the day, people would write in to advice columnists who would answer those questions in newspapers around the country. The most famous of them all, I am quite certain, was Dear Abby. People would write to her with short questions, and…

McGill: A little talk with Jesus makes it right
Amongst the Bible’s most notable “Divine Appointments,” there is one that stands alone as Jesus takes a Detour to Deliver a woman who found herself – well, all alone. It seems that she had spent her whole life “Lookin’ for love in all the wrong places, lookin’ for love in…

Wagner: The Jews (and America) return the favor
Ezra 1:1 Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also…

Of all of the notable characters of the Bible, there is none so telling as today’s starring man ICHABOD. No, I’m not referencing the Legend of Sleepy Hollow’s infamous, Ichabod Crane. Rather, I’m referring to a baby born to a dead father and a dying mother.

McGill: Stewardship marks time allotted to us
As I ponder over and prepare for this week’s devotional thought, I’m reminded of the children’s television show, “Sesame Street”. In each episode, the character Elmo would introduce a “Word of the Day” and then that word would be referenced and explained all throughout the show with the help of…

Certainty For Uncertain Times
The night of the assassination attempt against President Trump, I tweeted my prediction that President Biden would resign pretty quickly. A week later, on Sunday afternoon, he put out a statement that he was withdrawing from the presidential race. Mind you, in Biblical vernacular, I am neither a prophet nor…
