A new study out found that people who are reading their phones or trying to send texts will find their walking gait disrupted. The study conducted in Australia found that these multitaskers unwittingly swerve off a straight line. "Their heads did...

Like most folks I had a rather stereotypical impression of Peter. As a rough fisherman, he is brought to Christ by his brother Andrew (John 1) and seems to almost immediately embark on a journey fraught with impulsiveness. He rebukes Christ as He...

A friend recently gave me a book written by Hyatt Moore entitled, It's About Life. In that book there is a short chapter that reflects on the "good old days." Hyatt called my attention to the verse in Eccl.7:10 that says, "Do not say, 'Why were the...

At the start of a new year, lots of resolutions are made, including the commitment to read through the Bible in one year. And I have a few suggestions along those lines. First off, consider how much time it actually takes to read through the entire...

This time of year, we are all tempted to make resolutions. We are going to work out more, eat less, read more, watch TV less and on and on goes the list. It is sad, but experts tell us that those kinds of resolutions made in January are usually...

Tis the season to stuff yourself with a myriad of freshly baked goodies. Just last week, I had two mini zucchini bread tins waiting for me on my desk. And outside my window, the school's annual bake sale was beckoning. Prior to last week, I had...

With the 50th anniversary of John Kennedy's death upon us, there have been all kinds of behind the scene accounts written. One of them had to do with the Zapruder's film. Apparently, within hours of the President's death, the staff of Life magazine...

I recently found an old illustration that drives home the point that we must be precise with our words. And it made me laugh out loud. The article said, "A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying...

Each summer, as finances will allow, I try to travel somewhere new. And on my way back from those adventures I always ask myself a few questions...things like "What was your favorite memory?" or "What was different than you expected?" or "What did...

If you follow me on Twitter ( @sherryworel), you know that I just returned from a whirlwind trip to Dubai and Afghanistan. Boy, those two worlds could not be any further apart. I spent just one full day in Dubai and found it fascinating. It is the...
