I was discussing the month-long hiatus from writing Words for the Day I’m getting ready to embark on with my good friend Al Cuneo and he offered to send out reruns. He and his son George have helped me with WFTD for over a decade but are so busy with their jobs I hated to ask and thought of another way I could send some out while recovering which I will write in advance. I received so many moving letters asking me to reconsider I thought it might help others in some kind of ministry who have felt like I felt . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2023/05/jimmy-galloway/

Hi, this is Bob Williamson. Well, it’s with a heavy heart I have to tell you this, but I can’t see you well enough to write Words for the Day anymore . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/thanks-for-a-great-25-years/

I was talking with a lady the other day about her strategy to lead others to Christ and she was adamant that she would not call herself a Christian or mention Jesus during the process of initially trying to convince a pre-believer to become a believer. Additionally she would not proclaim the gospel . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/secret-agent-2/

The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out Bible. His grandson who wanted to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he could . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/try-it-youll-like-it/

I’ve been studying the four Gospels as of late and have found it incredulous that the Jews would not accept Jesus as the Messiah. I just finished Josh McDowell’s book, More than a Carpenter. If you have not read it, you are truly missing out. It is a must read! Josh was an agonistic/atheist and was one of those of us who tried to disprove the Bible. He went the extra mile and after extensive research including going abroad to study ended up devoting his life to Christ . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/texas-awash-in-silver-dollars-2/

I have a friend who has excelled in many areas of his life. He played college football and obtained a scholarship to a major University; he ran for office in state politics, became a congressman, and assumed the top job in the House where he served several years. He changed professions and entered the academic world and assumed the top job at a major University . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/you-can-keep-your-blasted-flowers-2/

I thought about what Easter means to me. And invariably Christ’s face appeared in my mind. One should know that I have a Jesus image in my mind that has been cultivated over fifty some odd years. As I study it I am amazed. Now one (Jonhny-come-lately) version of the Jesus imprint has more recently been identified as Jesus who was wrapped in the linen cloth of the Shroud of Turin when He was crucified . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/easter-2/

One night my son and I and about fifty other people were invited to the Governor’s mansion for a reception with Governor Rick Scott and First Lady Ann Scott. The place was filled with important businessmen and women; (and then there was my son and me. And before you ask we have no idea how, or why, we ended up in the mix). So what does one do at a gala event with such important people? . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/gods-realm/

I was praying yesterday, and asking God to forgive my mistakes of last year and to give me a quiet spirit of peace and determination to do better this year. I received a feeling of comfort about it and felt His warm loving Spirit engulf me and remind me of something that I often say, but perhaps don’t think about enough . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/father-bob/

I visited Israel a couple of years ago and it was the most inspiring event of my life. Unlike here in the good old USA, people of all faiths in that country take God very seriously. There are more religious sites and holy places throughout their cities than fast food restaurants here. It is uplifting and spiritual just to be in that country and to see so many people totally dedicated to worshipping God . . . https://www.wordsfortheday.com/2025/04/holy-land/
