Reflections- The three vow wonder woman

By Roger Campbell, author, broadcaster and columnist and a pastor for 22 years. She was but a young girl when she made her first serious vow: “I will never do anything that will hurt my mother.” And, young as she was at the time of her vow, she remembered and kept it throughout her mother’s life. Mutual respect limits regrets. Family loyalty demonstrates love. Keeping promises promotes personal peace. Then, one day, this girl found herself in a vowing mood again.

I visit her in a Lansing facility every Sunday. Most of the time she doesn’t know who I am, or where I came from. She has no recollection of our previous Sunday’s visit, nor does she even remember that my sister had [...]

Reflections- Conquering the money blues

By Roger Campbell, author,  broadcaster and columnist and a pastor for 22 years   Feeling down about money?  You’re not alone. Millions worry about meeting money needs every day.  But their fretting doesn’t add one cent to their bank accounts nor bring one slice of bread to their tables.  Being down about money is unprofitable.  And it is detrimental to emotional and physical health.  We simply can’t afford the money blues. What then can we do about pressing bills and future financial needs? Why not try prayer? My ministry began in a small rural church.  Taking the position as the [...]
