Cigareets & Whuskey . . . and other prohibitions A 1947 hit song partially lists the prohibitions placed on children in God-fearing homes back then. There were slight variations from denomination to denomination, but essentially the litany of sins to be avoided at all costs—starting with the three above—went something …
Selfies Selfies are all the rage today. By definition, a selfie is a self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. But selfies are not a new invention by the so-called nameless, faceless generation. They’ve been around a long time. Early Selfie (known back then as a ‘Hero’ or ‘Brag’ shot), …
You may find this month’s Sheep2Sheep a bit weighty and out of character to what you might expect. If so, just skip on down the page, and if all you find appealing is Donna’s Corner, so be it. But this subject has been heavy on me for some time and I feel I have to …
Frugal or Cheap? That is the question . . . * Careful or Stingy? * Thrifty or Tight? * Prudent or Parsimonious? A couple of months ago, I decided to find out what it is to be frugal, but not cheap. When we’re home, Donna & I take time to sit down and share breakfast …
February is a short month, and Ed has been a little short of time due to some foreseen circumstances. Your humble servant may be suffering from PWOS (Post Winter Olympics Syndrome.) So you may find to be a little briefer than usual. But powerful things come in small packages, right? Ready for a bang? Give …
Sitting In The Mall, Watching All The Peeps Go By . . . I love to spend an hour or two in this deliciously time-passing, time-wasting, time-waiting-for-my-favorite-shopper, totally blissful way. I learned the art from Donna’s Dad who was a master practitioner. My Dad-in-law, though he never went to university, had his Masters in PO …
Grace “What’ll we do with them? There’s no room at the inn!” sighed Darlene Cunningham, co-founder of YWAM. Soon after our family of six excitedly stepped off the airplane and into our first-ever missions experience, Darlene met with us. In her confident and engaging manner, wearing her flashingly radiant smile, she wanted to discuss our …
Which Would You Prefer? ‘Happy’ or ‘Joyful’? The bumper sticker on the car ahead of me boldly declared, “Happiness is being in Hawaii.” Hmmm. I’ve lived for more than a dozen years in beautiful, tropical Hawaii, and I don’t recall that everyone was happy all the time. And there were times when I wasn’t, …
‘Mama Dar’ (Darlene Cunningham’s Mom), the oldest-ever full time YWAMer, is now enjoying her heavenly reward—along with her husband, Pastor Scratch who used to be a contributor to inTouch magazine. Familyness, Belongingness & Loneliness The Lord is good. Donna and I have been given so very much—back in our early single lives—but especially during the …
Ugly is as Ugly does (Actually that’s a tweaking of Forrest Gump’s life verse which was, “Stupid is as stupid does.”) ‘Ugly’ is an ugly word and it is used sparingly in the Bible (the cows in Pharaoh’s Genesis 41 dream were ugly). The Message version does use the word quite a bit, but never …
