  • Out To Pastor: Why I am suspicious of all yard sales

    By JAMES L. SNYDER

    One of the passions that I really do not have is going to yard sales. The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage is another story.

  • OUT TO PASTOR: One good deed deserves a kick in the pants

    Have you ever had the feeling that any good deed you try is counteracted by a good swift kick in the pants?
    Last week a friend phoned, asking me if I could help a friend of his who was moving from Florida to Virginia and had nobody to help him. Immediately I agreed to help all I could. After hanging up my phone, I wondered what I had gotten myself into.

    “Where am I?”
     “Southeast Memorial, Intensive Care Unit,” the nurse said, opening the window blinds.
    “Why?” I shielded my eyes from the glaring sun. “Was I in an accident?”
