Wagner: Who’s laughing now, and who would not be?
Throughout the years I have found God’s timing to be impeccable. Anyone who walks with him daily could, no doubt, testify to this fact. I was reminded of that recently by a head-on collision between my Bible reading and my news listening. Among other times and ways I read the…

Stanfield: How in the world did I end up here?
Have you ever stopped during the middle of your day and asked yourself, “How in the world did I end up here?” I’m a self-diagnosed overthinker and anyone who knows me will agree. I overthink everything! This is one personality trait I have been cursed/blessed with and it got worse…

Wagner: Our church life has included Pillsbury Doughboys, Kool-Aid and vandals, to name but a few
The first Sunday of June is always a very special day for Dana and me. June 1, 1997, was the day the Cornerstone Baptist Church was born. It was us and one old couple up in their 70s that just a few weeks before had been commissioned by our home…

Stanfield: Standing strong is not a sign of weakness
If you’re gentle, compassionate, and loving, many today will view you as weak. This could not be further from the truth. As a state trooper, I always initiated each contact with complete respect. Although this was the way I was raised, many I stopped saw this as a possible path…

Wagner: Grappling with a unique, unknown emotion
Grief is certainly not the right word, though I am not quite sure what is. That is odd, for me, I have never had any trouble at all with words. Regret? No, not quite that, either. Whatever the emotion is that I am grasping to describe, it is a bit…

Stanfield: Don’t let society dicatate how you live your life
The world tells us to get a job, work for 30 years, don’t ever quit, retire when it’s time, and die happy. Don’t get me wrong, this is an admirable way to live your life, but it’s not the only way to live it. These rules are set by society,…

Stanfield: Doubt is God telling you to be careful
In my book, “I Can and I Will,” I talk about being forced to block people from my life who spread discontent and hate. It wasn’t because I didn’t love them, but I could not let them weaken my relationship with God. I decided a few years ago to dedicate…
