Legacy Recipe: Festive Chicken and Rice [Free Printable]
I was going through some old file folders of recipes the other day and came across one of my favorites that my mother used to make. I love the feeling that I get when that happens because it takes me back in time and I can remember how the dish looked on the table as we gathered to eat supper. I hope you will enjoy it as well. It’s delish! FESTIVE CHICKEN AND RICE 1 box long grain and wild rice 3 pounds of chicken pieces (I use 1 whole chicken cut up, but a pkg. of legs and thighs would work) 1 can whole berry cranberry sauce 3 Tbs. butter 2…

Who Are Our Real Heroes?
Ask a 10-year-old boy who they want to be when they grow up. They may say Tom Brady, Lebron James, or maybe some musician or movie star. The reason why youths admire these people is because they can do special things with their talents, and because they appear on the world’s stage and compete or perform at such a high level. To win the greatest prize, to have the most talent, and to make good on all of your dreams is what is touted as being a true success. People think such fame is what makes a person’s life of value, as if they had not wasted their life on…

Praying With Your Family
Yesterday something happened that gave my wife and children cause to celebrate. We had a late day – two hours late to school due to bad weather. I decided to take advantage of the extra hours in the morning. We went out to breakfast together. It was a prayer breakfast. We used the time we never have on a Monday in which we are usually in a rush to get ready. We talked. We ate a sit-down meal together. We discussed the week ahead. Then I asked them all to tell me something specifically they wanted to pray about. It was a great morning for our family. It was also…

A Picture That is Meaningful to Me (On Many Levels)
As many who read the posts from A Legacy of Faith know, the annual Freed-Hardeman University Lectureship takes place on the first full week of each February. For years, I have looked forward to that week and its events. In so many ways, this event is a true “spiritual feast.” One of the highlights each year is the opportunity I have to spend time with people who have meant – and continue to mean – a great deal to me. It is good to hear many of them speak, to share ideas with them, and to just enjoy their fellowship. This year, the older gentleman in the picture above will not be there. He…

Legacy Recipe: Mom’s Cheese Soup [Free Printable]
My mother and my mother-in-law were both excellent cooks. Since both of them have passed from this life, you can imagine how much I treasure the recipes I have from each of their kitchens. Some of them are written in their own handwriting and some are in old cookbooks compiled by groups of which they were a part. I thought it might be fun (especially for the ladies and the men who like to cook who read Legacy) to share some of those recipes with you. Most of them are very easy and full of comfort. Since I’m on a different eating plan than I used to be, I don’t always fix the recipes…

An Important Date & An Important Reminder
I am typing these words on January 20, 2017. As I type these words, millions of people are waiting for a new president to take the oath of office and begin a new era in our nation’s history. According to some information I have read, the cost of the inauguration will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $200 million. Flags are flying. Bands have been–and will be–playing. “Important” documents will be signed. Millions will witness the events, either in person or by means of some form of mass media. While I love all of the fanfare, excitement, and meaning involved in every inauguration, this date is particularly important to me. Its importance is not due to…

It’s the Small Things
It was one quarter. Just twenty-five cents. However, it seemed to make all the difference in one particular woman’s day. I’m an Aldi’s shopper, and I keep a quarter in a little compartment in my car when I go there so I can quickly get my shopping cart and begin saving all that money on groceries. It was right before the holidays and I was shopping as I usually do about once a week. When I finished loading my groceries in the back of my car I headed back to the store with my shopping cart. I happened to notice a young woman on her way to get a cart, so I asked her…
