A Desperate Hunter, An Olympic Champion, Lots of Angels and More.
The Friday Roundup takes us back throughout our week reminding us of the people, the events, and the Word that inspires us.
Christmas in Focus
Christmas Eve is just one week away. Many of us are understanding the truth of the old saying, 'So much to do, so little time.' Yet by the time the 25th rolls around, we will all be ready to celebr…
He Was The Best in The World, But That Wasn't Important.
Eric Liddell was known as the Flying Scotsman and won a gold medal in the 1924 Olympics in Paris. But he left behind all the fame and glory to travel halfway across the globe to do something more im…
Those Singing Angels
On Tuesdays, this December we have been looking at the history of some of the well known Christmas Carols. Today, we look at the carol from 1739, Hark the Herald Angels Sing.
Pray First
A farmer had no food for his family so he went hunting for dinner with an old rifle and three shells. He missed the rabbit. He missed the squirrel. But wait until you hear what he got with that las…
Lights, Mice, An Unlikely Hero, and Sleeping Through the Storm
It's time for our Friday Roundup. Here is a review of our stories, encouragement, and inspiration from this week.
How Did She Get on That List?
She was a prostitute. She was not a Jew. Yet, Matthew records her in the royal line of Jesus. Have you ever noticed how God rarely calls the qualified and instead qualifies the called?
The Mouse and the Bellows
It may be hard to believe that a hungry mouse in 1818 would have an impact on your Christmas today, but it is true. Today's story is all about God turning problems into praises.
Wauconda Lights
The town of Wauconda Illinois was forced to remove their Christmas light display from the town water towers. But they didn't let that stop their celebrations. In fact, their celebrations became even…
It's the Friday Roundup
This week we have visited a grade one math class, a composer in 1719, a couple of traveling salesmen, and a poor little parakeet. Each one had something to encourage us with. So, enjoy this week's …
He Never Knew What Hit Him
Old Sparky the parakeet had no clue that his day was going to be so rough. But then we all get blindsided occasionally with unexpected turmoil in our lives. That is when we need our friends around …
No Room
Two traveling salesmen, a chance meeting, and a worldwide impact. This gives added meaning to the phrase, 'No Room at the Inn."
You Will Be Surprised At What Is Not a Christmas Carol.
It is the time of year when we start to hear and sing the many favorite Christmas carols. But one of the most popular was not written about Christmas. Can you guess which one?
Grade One Math
Usually, two plus two equals four. But there are in fact times when two plus two equals five. Today's story is about a first grader who taught his teacher an important lesson.
Looking Back So We Can Look Ahead
What do the Sahara Desert, a song from 1971, our choices at Christmas, and a suffering lady all have in common? They are all part of what made this week a very good one here on Starting Right.
A Brave Lady
There are times when to find the answers we seek from God we need to take some bold steps. We don't even know the name of this lady in scripture but she sure can teach us something about bold faith.
Christmas Choices
With all the restrictions we are facing it seems like we have lost all of our choices of what Christmas will be like this year. While Covid and our governments can control some of our choices, there…
Through It All
While watching a church service online this past Sunday, the church sang a song that I hadn't heard for years. It speaks a truth that can help us right now as we face these uncertain times. We will…
High and Dry
The Sahara is a vast, amazingly dry desert. Yet recently there are some discoveries of what lies beneath all that sand that will change people's thinking about this desert.
Friday Roundup
Here is our Friday roundup and review of our week. From a song written 500 years before Christ, to the best selling Christian song ever, to laughter to listening, we covered it all this week. I hop…
