Health For Body and Soul
Do you recall where you were 11 years ago? I know that’s tough because we’re talking about 1998! Some of you reading this may not have even been born! I certainly was and so was my friend, Silvia.

One Touch
I am sure you would agree that there is just nothing like waiting for the phone to ring. You’re waiting for someone to call you back, you’re waiting for that special person to call and ask you out on a date, you’re waiting for the doctor’s office to call with results…the scenarios are endless. Like it or not, many of us put our lives on hold during those times and just sit near the phone. We wonder what the news will be and what will be said.

Power of Prayer
Rivers of the World’s (ROW) radio audience has been so very kind to me that I must take a moment to say thank you and may God richly bless you for your prayers. I know many of you prayed fervently for months for my wife, Dr. Mickie Mathes, as she underwent 12 difficult rounds of chemotherapy.

Meeting the Needs
Okay, I confess. I am trying to stay away from something very important in my life—buffet meals.

I am working on one of my New Year’s resolutions, which is trying to stay away from these types of dining options. They are just too much fun and way too tempting for me!

By the time you read this I will have sand in my shoes, sweat on my brow and I’ll be deep in the deserts of the Middle East. Just in time for Christmas, I’m traveling to see my wife, Dr. Mickie Mathis, whom I haven’t seen since August.

Fight in His Power
Do you recall if you ever got into a fight when you were a small child? I’m talking about one of those knock-down-drag-out fights where you push and shove. Offensive names are being slung back and forth and before you know it fists are flying everywhere.

Healing Touch
A friend of mine, Teresa, participated in a mission trip to Afghanistan, which involved setting up a small medical clinic. Members on this trip treated hundreds of patients daily. On one particular day, Teresa noticed a man who came forward to be treated whose leg was horribly infected. When this man arrived at the clinic the team had already run low on medicine, but they were overflowing with the power of prayer.

Citizenship
How does it make you feel to attend a sporting event and have someone do a less than honorable job of performing our national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner? I don’t know about you, but that really insults me because I love my country.

In His Power
During my travels around the world, I have encountered an array of religions from Christianity, Catholicism, and Buddhism to even Voodooism, recognized as an official religion in Haiti in 2003.

Blood…Essential For Living
Picture this…you are rushed to a hospital following an accident and upon arrival the doctor determines you need a pint of blood, but there is no blood available to save your life. This scenario rarely exists in the United States where numerous people donate blood each day to save the lives of countless people.
