Missionary Ken Bowie was an anointed servant of God

Tulsa Beacon

In my work, I have been exposed to all types of missionaries around the world. I have come to put the missionaries I meet in two categories: the anointed and the appointed.

Tulsa Beacon

The highlight of these meetings was a traveling evangelist who came from at least two counties over….

Democrat operatives in at least six states rigged the election returns so that it was impossible to get honest, legitimate results. Joe Biden will…

Dinosaur droppings helped change the world everywhere

Tulsa Beacon

In our last time together, I told you the story about my friend who bought a warehouse containing tons of dinosaur dung. Then he came up with an idea to break the dung into small one-pound chunks, wrap them in tissue paper, insert them into elegant boxes and sell them as paperweights for employees to…

Going to Branson after Christmas was a family affair

It was a lot cheaper but a lot less exciting. We rented a four-bedroom condo near the lake in Branson. We…
