Don’t Live Looking Backward

by PGBC

At the writing of this article I am exactly a week away from seeing my son graduate high school. It seems a little hard to believe that it is almost here, but it is definitely one of those things that you want to see happen in life. We spend far too many days wishing something […]

Transitory Nature of Life

by PGBC

As I watched the slide show of the high school graduates we recently recognized in our church family, I realized just how fast life goes by. For the parents of those young adults it probably seemed just like yesterday when they were bouncing their graduates on a knee as babies. Life does indeed go by […]

by PGBC

by PGBC

Well it’s that time of year again, time to file your taxes! According to the IRS website the deadline to file is April 17th. Years ago, I worked alongside of a fellow who took a different approach to taxes than I did. My coworker had the philosophy that he would cheat as much as possible […]

Remembering Billy Graham

by PGBC

I have just finished reading the last book Billy Graham wrote. He was 93 and still pretty active and with the help of Franklin, his son, he gave us his thoughts about old age, death, heaven, and how to deal with them.  He was able to tell people about Jesus and his love, his death, […]
