    Why Your Health Insurer Doesn't Care About Your Big Bills

    It took around $350,000 to see my mother through her sickness and death. When complaining about the bill, in which her insurance paid, I was told that it was because of malpractice. When someone is allowed to sue a doctor or a hospital they are actually suing the American people, who will be the...

    Salvation in the Old Southern Way

    And now, dear reader, we have rambled over seventy years together, touching some of the bright and some of the dark places, and only some. Let us have a few parting words, and then you go on your upward way of duty and service, happy in your work, singing as you go, and I will drop out of the...

    Salvation in the Old Southern Way

    ***School Days**** MY place was on the farm till I was about eight years old, with father and mother, happy brothers and sisters; often in the field with playful colts, skipping lambs, singing birds, and my ever-present dog—a happy boy. I went to school two or three months during the winter...

    Salvation in the Old Southern Way

    [Salvation and Love Feast] THESE chapters have run in a somewhat similar strain long enough. Let us vary the exercises, as the preacher would say, and hold an "experience meeting” I like experience meetings, especially when I feel religious, and I believe most people do under similar...

    Salvation in the Old Southern Way

    [Tennessee] THESE recollections will be very incomplete if, having spent the ever-to-be-remembered days of my childhood and youth on the farm, I do not give a chapter to that period and tell how a farmer and his family lived in those days in this East Tennessee country, with all its bears and...

    Salvation in the Old Southern Way

    ...Camp Meeting... The recollections of my boyhood are full of these camp meeting occasions. Our camp ground was at Cedar Springs. There was a small log church here, and here my father and Jacob Hoss, a kinsman of the Bishop, built a shed one hundred and twenty-five feet long and seventy-five...

    Salvation in the Old Southern Way

    ...Camp Meeting... My very earliest recollections of persons and things, outside of the family, are of the preachers who came to our house and of the meetings they held—"circuit preaching” quarterly meetings, and especially camp meetings. We lived in the Athens Circuit, which had some twenty...

    Salvation in the Old Southern Way

    ...The Family Altar... My father was not religious when he married mother. And indeed I think that what religious bent there was in our family was largely due to the Mitchell blood and training in mother. The Sullins stock in my father was strongly marked by the blood of his Virginia mother...

    ...Birth.... I was born two miles west of Athens, McMinn County, Tenn., in July, 1827. And I was well born. That is, I as born of well developed, healthy, sensible, religious parents, and on a, farm. All of which is much in my favor, but nothing to my credit. And here I begin thus early to...

    Complicating Salvation

    Consider the service.... 1. Many people in an auditorium 2. Well dressed and dignified 3. An invitation to salvation is given! I believe it is a tough move for anyone to move and go forward to accept the invitation for salvation!

    On Board With Billy Graham

    I lost both my mother and grandmother in the last 15 years. Our hospital's only religious option was David Cerullo's INSP network. Of the whole time those two were in the hospital the only message I heard was on, "my time of increase." I heard the word "increase" so many times that I thought I...
