A politician friend of mine is trying to be reelected and he told me he is running on “fumes.” He is working as hard as he can, and just yesterday told me that after a full day of wall to wall meetings and a slew of political events was out waving signs with some of his supporters in the pouring down rain until dark. He is bone tired . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/a-different-song-altogether/

I believe one of the reasons that we are in the mess we that are in is because so many of our pastors aren’t courageous enough to speak up from the pulpit. I’m enclosing a link that every person in the country should watch. Yes, it will take a few minutes, but this Virginia pastor is highly intelligent, articulate, and makes the case for Christian voting. It is the best sermon I’ve watched in quite some time . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/a-preacher-after-my-own-heart/

It seems that early voting is exceeding all expectations with a huge turnout. A friend told me this morning that those who love Trump and those who hate him are responsible. He is no doubt correct on his hypothesis . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/everybody-has-something/

I’ve always been a huge fan of football legend Hershel Walker. If you asked 100 American football fans to name the most impressive ever to play the game, most would put Herschel Walker on the short list. Walker, now 58, had a prolific three-year college career at Georgia. He rushed for 5,259 yards and 49 touchdowns in 33 games and is widely considered one of the best college football players ever. And then he went to the NFL and continued galloping . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/there-is-only-one-of-those/

I watched the debate in its entirety last night. Biden seemed to hold it together under withering difficult questioning about his and his family’s illicit gains from China, Russia, and Ukraine, but towards the end he seemed to get really tired and confused and could not put his thoughts into words . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/party-of-death/

I’ve been on stage with and spoken alongside all-time winningest college football coach Bobby Bowdon and had him come to our church on more than one occasion. The man is amazing and is as dedicated to Christ as anyone I’ve ever known. If you want to find him on Sundays you can be assured that he is somewhere preaching and teaching the love of Christ unless he is too sick to get out of bed. Recently he contracted Covid 19 and when I heard the news I immediately began praying for him. He is 91 years old but in true Bobby Bowden fashion he beat it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/covid-19-defeated/

I receive a litany of letters from the Words for the Day platform seeking advice. My life is all but completely free from stress and drama, but many of those writing have some of the most difficult problems that I can imagine; (every form of addiction, suicidal tendencies, marital disputes, depression, anxiety, financial problems, family problems, career problems and so on.) . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/help-2/

Yesterday I had to drive up to Miami to purchase some light fixtures for my new home. I listened to Rush Limbaugh part of the way and he gave a report on his lung cancer. Basically he said he is stage four, and he reported that the doctors told him that he was going to die from it. He is fighting it with chemo but had a recent setback and the cancer has spread . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/rush-is-dying/

In just a few more weeks the election will be over, and our short term fate will be decided. However, as polarized as our nation is it will certainly not end conflict and there will be no such thing as unity . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/floating-rooms/

I’m going sword fishing today. I’d love to stay home and watch the news . . . Yeah right . . . Lol – Lol. The sweet smelling sea, tropical breezes, and monster sword fish beckon me. . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2020/10/i-cannot-answer-why/
