Wake up and watch out!

Twenty_3rd_Psa1m

By Res Spears Message delivered December 2, 2018 at Liberty Spring Christian Church One of the benefits of being an only child is that I never had to compete with brothers or sisters for attention or for seconds at the dinner table or for anything, really. Some people would say that the atmosphere tends to create spoiled children who grow up to be spoiled adults. Whatever. They’re just jealous. Anyway, since I never had to worry about brothers and sisters beating me to the presents on Christmas morning, I was never in a huge hurry to open them.

By Res Spears Message delivered November 4, 2018 at Liberty Spring Christian Church Some of you know that Annette and I celebrated our anniversary yesterday. Seventeen years. It seems like so much longer. OK, so that’s my favorite joke. Annette has been hearing it for 17 years, and I think she’d be the first to tell you that it never gets old. Right, honey?

Be like the Smyrnans — faithful By Res Spears Message delivered October 14, 2018 at Liberty Spring Christian Church At the risk of making my wife (and maybe my mother) cry this morning, I want to tell you about the dog that I had when we got married. Inky was a border collie mix, and she was the smartest and most faithful dog I’ve ever had. For many years, she was my constant companion. I took her everywhere – to work, to visit friends, on long drives in the convertible. She would stand in the backseat of that Toyota Celica … Continue reading
