This month, Good News Wants to Know…. If you could choose any car to drive, what would it be? It could be a car you’ve had in the past that you wish you still had or a dream car you’d like to have today. That’s easy: a 2002 Toyota 4Runner, which saw me through my years as a seminary student. I put thousands upon thousands of miles on it driving from St. Louis to Cape Cod and back to visit my then-girlfriend (now wife). It’s an amazing vehicle, and many times I’ve regretted selling it back in 2007 when we moved to the ..read more

When we hear the word tension, we usually think of the emotion produced by a stressful situation. Driving in heavy traffic comes to mind. For me, boarding an airplane produces tension. Put me in the martial arts arena with a younger, faster opponent, and I feel no tension; my mind is busy looking for the opening that will give me victory. Strap me into an airplane that is about to thunder down a runway at 160 miles per hour and somehow rise into the air, and I experience a great deal of tension!  But I am speaking of a different ..read more

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged” (Deuteronomy‬ 31‬:8‬ NIV).‬‬ A parent is watching his kids playing in the front yard throwing a ball around and suddenly hears screeching tires as a car rounds the corner heading their way. Instinctively, the parent yells out, watching the ball they were playing with heading towards the street and warns, “STOP, look out for the car!”  That’s a simple act of taking responsibility. We are reminded that the Lord himself will never leave you ..read more

I recently was invited to pray at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. I was there as a private citizen, and it was an honor to turn our attention to the Lord Jesus Christ — our only hope — and ask for His hand of mercy and blessing upon our country. The convention met just days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Hours after that failed attack during his speech, President Trump declared that it was “God and God alone” who protected him and spared his life. The bullet, fired from a ..read more

The Good News provides a monthly column with important content having to do with topics from the legal community. This month features a conversation with Paul May and Manooch Azizi, associates at Tripp Scott.   Does artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to enhance attorneys’ work product? You betcha.    But can AI replace attorneys? Not so much – at this juncture, at least.    We all know Murphy’s Law – “if anything can go wrong, it will” – and that it has the tendency to rear its ugly head at the least opportune times. There is altogether too much ..read more
