For others, Bible study is dull and boring. This is the worst disease of the non-Bible-readers. It means either the person has not really tried to study the Bible (and that means he does not want to), or it means he is dead inside. The Bible is not dull nor boring. There is life on every page, and its pages are as varied as the stars in the heavens.

There were twenty-six elderly people at the Bible study. Sure, some of and must be paid in advance.

The religion editor, Frank Burrell, encouraged me and sometimes prodded me. That was the summer of 1977, and since that time I have written nearly 2,400 columns. As you might expect, much has changed in those fifty plus years. Today, the printed word suffers with the rise of electronic media. Still, I continue to write; and we e-mail several hundred columns each week to media sources and individuals because God’s word is food for the soul.
