Two Score Less Five Years Ago...
|
Two Score Less Five Years Ago... by Phil On October 20th, Pam and I will have been married 35 years. One of my friends asked if we had any "hot topics" we avoid in conversation that would lead to an argument. I thought about it for a while and honestly couldn't think of any. I guess we've mellowed as we've aged, as that was not always the case. For example... Early in our ministry, our anniversary fell on a Sunday. A pastor called and asked if Pam and I would lead a worship service at his church on Oct. 20. I said, "No problem!" Then I told Pam... and there was a problem. She was thinking we would take that day off so we wouldn't have to work on our anniversary. Well, I had a dilemma. On one hand, I never like to back out of a commitment, and financially we needed to work. On the other hand, I'd lived long enough to know that the saying, "happy wife, happy life" is a powerful truth for a successful marriage. I pondered my situation and after several days I had a stroke of genius! I would write Pam a special song just for the occasion. I hid away at my piano and soon wrote a new tune called, "My Greatest Treasure" that told the story of how we met. When Sunday came I explained to the congregation that it was our anniversary, and I surprised Pam by singing the new song to her. It worked! I was officially out of the doghouse! (This was not the case the next year when I booked another concert on our anniversary and sang that song again. Lesson learned!) I've written several marriage songs we've included on our albums, but this is still my favorite. After 35 years, these words are just as true as ever... You are my treasure, You're all I'm dreaming of. Happy Anniversary sweetie, Click Here to Check our Concert Schedule! Check us out on Facebook! - http://www.facebook.com/PhilandPamMorgan |

And There It Goes... by Phil This week did not go according to my plans, which is why you are reading my Tuesday morning devotion on Wednesday afternoon. It all started Sunday when my phone started randomly turning off and restarting. I was reading the scripture in my Bible app along with the congregation, when all of a sudden, there it goes... blank screen followed by reboot, looking for wifi, and reopening app just as the scripture reading was finished. Throughout the day, the trend...
Here Sheepy, Sheepy! by Phil Luke Chapter 15 is probably one of the most familiar chapters in the Bible. It's the Jesus parable trilogy! We start out with the ever popular parable of the lost sheep. Then, like many movie trilogies, we move on to the parable of the lost coin - still good but not quite as memorable as the rest. Finally, Jesus wraps it up with a blockbuster - the parable of the prodigal son. These stories were originally directed at the Pharisees and teachers of the law, but...
Rescued from the Burn Bin by Phil Several weeks ago I wanted to make a birthday gift for my preacher buddy so I went to the back yard and grabbed a log. I cut off a section, mounted it on my lathe and started turning. Almost immediately I ran into a soft spot of decay. I thought I'd turn past that area, so I kept going deeper but didn't come to the end of the spongy-ness. Finally, I gave up and threw the log into my burn bin. When the burn bin gets full I pull my mobile fire pit onto the...
