I am beginning a new series with this volume; the concept of ESP (Experiences, Scripture, and Prayer) has gained attention in the 8 volumes of "Thoughts to Ponder"; consequently, I felt it was time to focus on the concept. Some of the thirty messages in this first volume come from radio spots created several years ago, but I have also used some of my newspaper and newsletter articles from the past. I have enjoyed the challenge of locating Scriptures to include with each message. The principles and truths found in the "thoughts" are timeless. I hope and pray readers will benefit from life's lessons presented in these short messages. Remember that the articles are based on ESP - Experience, Scripture, and Prayer. Each reader may be moved in different ways by these selections, but I feel certain that something will be found within the Experiences, Scriptures, and Prayers (ESP) to help you make it through the day.
