The late Clayton Sullivan wrote about Mrs. Howard, a widow, and her adult son, Johnny Fred. Johnny Fred’s body was twisted like a gnarled tree. He was cognitively challenged, slurred his speech and could only sell peanuts on the street corner to make a little money. Mrs. Howard asked, “Preacher, why did God make Johnny Fred to be the way he is?” Sullivan said this was the end of his faith journey since he could no longer handle “hurting in living.” We’ve certainly seen much hurt in our world r...

It really wasn't a big deal, but the lady thought it was. I was walking into the grocery store when I heard a scrape of metal. A lady drove over the curb and now the curb was lodged between her front and rear tires. In other words, she was stuck. I stopped and told her I'd guide her. I had her edge forward, turn sharply, back up and so on until she positioned herself out of this predicament. When I got her safely situated, she said, "Mister, you're an angel sent from the Lord." I thought,...

It’s a Facebook page for denominational pastors, and it was recommended to me by our student pastor. I’ve since offered it to several others, telling them it will entertain or make you angry. The anger comes when you see how narrow-minded some ministers are about issues that are, in my opinion, secondary, reminiscent of the age-old question, “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?” But the entertainment value is there, too. One pastor said the family played “Spirit In The Sky” at a...

A college colleague told me about a tense Sunday morning when he was a part-time pastor. The deacon chairman confronted him before worship with a stern request (the Baptist deacon chairman is akin to a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army). “We’re gonna’ wait until after the service, but we want to meet with you IMMEDIATELY when it’s done,” he scowled. It’s been some years since he told me this, and laughed about it then, but I forgot the punch line. I don’t know if he was terminated or lived to pre...
