Imagine being stranded! If you were stranded, if you could select your destination , where would you choose? How about the Keebler Elf Cookie factory? I wouldn’t mind….and if I had a gallon of milk in hand, I would be set! Hershey, Pennsylvania would be great!  I wouldn’t cry if I was locked in overnight at Mardels Christian bookstore ….provided I had a flashlight! What if stranded did not include cookies or books… what if stranded meant a remote location…like....no I am not thinking of Wyoming …how about a deserted island?

Which three study Bibles would you want? I would want, in order: 1. The MacArthur Study Bible 2. The Nelson Study Bible 3. The ESV Study Bible. Why? MacArthur?

My favorite quarterback, John Elway, just turned 50, He is 6 months older than me, two time Super-bowl champion, hall of famer…holds numerous records…most fourth quarter comebacks etc! In a recent article in the Denver Post…He was talking about his own mortality. With luck and hard work , I've achieved a lot in my life so far, but I've still got a lot more I want to do," Elway told The Denver Post in a lengthy conversation at Elway's restaurant in Cherry Creek. Elway's bucket list includes playing the bad guy in a cowboy movie, driving a stock car on a local track, biking the Ride The Rockies, traveling to Italy again (where he proposed to his wife of 10 months, Paige), playing in a seniors golf tournament, visiting the historic World War II beach site at Normandy, watching his four children graduate from college (the oldest has earned a master's degree, and the other three are attending different universities), doing dozens of new business deals, growing the ...
