The Tulsa Beacon

Graddad taught a lesson with a piglet

Tulsa Beacon

I was very fortunate to have a grandfather who believed in teaching me about money. As far back as I can remember, he was talking about tithing, investments and savings. Granddad was a hog farmer, and one day, he came to me and asked if I wanted to go into business with him. I was…

True character is a condition of the heart, not an award

Tulsa Beacon

“And the award goes to …” Earlier today, I attended my second assembly at Titus the Honorable’s school. The first one was exciting; it was his Christmas program, and halfway through, a kid on the front row threw up. The Christmas miracle was that in an auditorium packed with people, no one else followed suit….

Life was safer when Apples and Blackberries were just pies

Tulsa Beacon

Life was much easier when Apple and Blackberry were only pies. I was training a group of adults whose job is to mentor parents. One of the subjects in which they wanted more training was how to help parents manage their children’s cell phones. Cell phones are being given to children at younger and younger…

A mother’s kiss has an incredible ability to offer compassion

Tulsa Beacon

It was our second day in Budapest. Our team had spent the first day getting over jet lag and acquainting ourselves with our new surroundings. This morning, we were to start working with a group of church planters about an hour south of the city. Our teams always travel with a 75-pound public address system…

Despite hiccups, have a happy New Year!

Tulsa Beacon

Our Christmas and New Year’s Day can best be summed up with the words of Roberts Burn in his poem, To a Mouse: “The best-laid plans of Mice and Men go oft awry.” I think the mice made out better than we did. Our family had planned to gather on Christmas Eve, enjoy a meal,…

Happy New Year! and blessings from Walker, Titus, Cohen

Tulsa Beacon

The greatest gift is the salvation given to us through our Lord Jesus Christ. But today, I want to write about the second greatest gift, and that is the gift of friendship. To me, the measure of a person does not lie in their wealth but in the number of people who call them friend….

Do you hear what I hear? The Moore Family wishes you hope

Tulsa Beacon

It’s no secret that I love this time of the year, especially the music that accompanies it. For reasons known only to God, each year, a single song resonates through my heart and soul. It is never the same song two years in a row; last year, it was Little Drummer Boy. The “Pa rum…

Cohen the Goodhearted’s watchful eye is like some shepherds

Tulsa Beacon

The other day, I went to help my son Caleb paint the inside of my previously owned home he just bought. I enjoy these tasks as they give us some quality time together. But this day, I was particularly excited because I got to hang out with Titus the Honorable and Cohen the Goodhearted. Cohen…

The Moore Family has the most beautiful ugly Christmas tree

Tulsa Beacon

It has become a tradition in the Moore family to put up our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. For reasons unbeknownst to me, this duty has fallen my way. It always starts with a trek out to the backyard shed. Of course, all the Christmas stuff is stacked behind the lawn mower, the seed…

Christmas music includes a wrap session

Tulsa Beacon

A quick question: What kind of music do you listen to the week before Christmas? Wrap music. Enough of the Christmas puns. With our grandsons getting older, Christmas has taken on new life in the Moore home. Titus the Honorable is already anticipating presents, Christmas trees and family. Cohen the Goodhearted is just looking forward…
