My son visited last week and we went fishing on Friday. He insisted that he clean the boat and stated he needed no help and could clean it faster without me. I thought that was a nice gesture and thanked him. When he finished cleaning it, he needed to finish raising the boat on the lift . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/strangle-comes-to-mind/

I had some fans in my new house that were malfunctioning. So I went in and tried the in wall switch and the fan remote and nothing happened. So I got a little bent out of shape and started violently pushing buttons as fast as I could . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/mystery-fans/

So I went to a new men’s group Bible study last night with a friend and lo and behold it was being taught by an old friend from some time ago who attended the same church I did when I lived in Islamorada. It is interesting that he is now the pastor of the church where the Bible study was held . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/i-dont-want-to-but-i-do/

Another of my friends, a true warrior for God, entered heaven a few days ago. Bill Fries was one of the gentlest souls I’ve ever me and a true gentleman. He was one of the good guys. He graduated from the Naval academy and served on a submarine for his sterling career and then he entered prison ministry . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/another-warrior-has-fallen/

I think I accidentally misled some of you in yesterday’s post. I wasn’t talking about stopping writing Words for the Day, rather that I might quit sending it via Facebook due to Facebook being one of the most biased companies in the world . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/greatest-joy-in-life/

Happy Thursday my friends. I hope today is the best day of your life. My son deleted all of his social media apps about a month ago and this week deleted all of his news apps. He quit watching the news on television some time ago. I asked how he would know whether or not we were in a war. He just grinned and said I suppose someone will tell me . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/changing-focus/

I once read an interesting book on motivation by John Capozzi entitled: “If you want the rainbow . . . You gotta put up with the rain!” I believe this to be true. It has been my experience that most people who do not succeed, do not understand this concept and at the first sign of trouble quit and accept their defeat . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/do-you-push-or-pull-2/

I haven’t watched the news on television in over a year now. Sometimes I scan news websites to see if we are in a war and I always come away madder than a hornet knocked off its nest . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/red-sky-in-the-morning/

I was talking to a buddy of mine recently and the subject of divorce came up. He was laughing that three of his four kids were either divorced or going through one. This seemed odd to me because he has been married over 50 years. It seems he could have passed on some of his secrets to success and he would be dismayed about so much heartache in his family, instead of laughing about it . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/one-of-lifes-toughest-puzzles/

A question that used to really bug me was along the following lines: Jesus foretold the length of time He would be in the grave as a sign that He was the Messiah. But that time simply doesn’t fit between a supposed Good Friday crucifixion and burial and an Easter Sunday resurrection . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/index.php/2021/04/does-it-bug-you/
