In fact, I’d love to take you on a tour of my home. In lieu of a YouTube video, please join me on a “blog post tour” and use your imagination as you “drop by” for a visit! http://litmin.org/dare.php?row=235&date=2010-08-23 2010-08-23T16:40:35-05:00 These inspiring and challenging devotionals are biblical insights from Ed Powell's 60 years of experiencing God’s grace, sufficiency, and faithfulness under all kinds of life circumstances. 366 devos. http://litmin.org/tozer.php?t=234 2010-08-23T12:24:56-05:00 Few men speak in such a way that their words are considered timeless. But A. W. Tozer, often called a "20th-century prophet," spoke with such spiritual insight that he deserves to be heard in the 21st century.

Not! Millions of people have put themselves on a “do not call” list because we just don’t like having our lives encumbered with people who have only one interest–you’re a customer and they’ve got something to sell. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/making-jesus-sick-8298 2009-09-18T14:15:58-05:00 When you drive as many miles as we do, those little surprises out the window spice up the trip a bit; like the two municipal water tanks we saw as we sailed by a town on the Interstate recently. Usually those water tanks have the name of the town on them. Well, not these. One word on each tank: one said “Hot,” the other said “Cold.” There was no third tank. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/a-brand-new-daddy-8297 2009-09-18T14:14:58-05:00 Little Scotty really wanted to play with his dad, and his dad really wanted to read his massive Sunday paper. Well, Scotty kept tapping on the newspaper, and finally Scotty’s dad had an idea: he tore out a page of the paper that had a map of the world. He tore it into puzzle pieces and he said, “As soon as you put this picture together, I’ll play with you.” Two minutes later his son shows up with the picture together. He said, “Scotty, how did you put this picture of the whole world together so fast?” He said, “Daddy, it was easy. There was a picture of a man on the other side. If you put the man together right, the world goes together just fine.” http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/every-dads-a-builder-8296 2009-09-18T14:13:26-05:00 In the course of our ministry on Indian reservations, we met a precious grandmother who told us a memorable story. Her grandmother had been forced out of the village she lived in because she gave her heart to Christ. That meant her grandfather had to build a house down in the valley below the village, and here’s how he did it. Each day as he returned from work, he’d pick up a big rock and bring it home to help build that house. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/the-power-of-a-fathers-smile-8295 2009-09-18T14:12:31-05:00 It was that time of the year when the grass grew so fast, it seemed like our lawn needed to be mowed like every other day. My then five-year-old son was following me, clipping around the rocks, and I smiled at him and kept mowing. He came up to me and he said, “Daddy, could you do that again please?” I said, “Do what?” He said, “Could you please smile at me again. It’s your smile that keeps me going.”
