Best of Walker Moore

I have spent my life with students, hanging out with 13- to 18-year-olds for more than 47 years. I have dealt with and counseled with students on everything from “My parents are Neanderthals” to “I am going to be the president of the United States.” So far, in all...

Seven-year-old Titus the Honorable and 4-year-old Cohen the Goodhearted are currently doing virtual schooling. It is amazing that a teacher can sit at home with a computer in front of them, and at a certain time, their computer screen will populate with their...

Okay, I confess. I am just a nasty, old, rotten, wicked sinner who, for some reason only known to God, in His sovereignty has been saved by the wondrous grace of our Lord. I know many of you who read this article think that I have obtained some type of spiritual...

It was the day before Titus the Honorable’s seventh birthday. Since the Coronavirus has limited our ability to go on adventures, I thought I should find one that wouldn’t involve much risk. Our adventures always contain two things: something challenging and a lesson...

I am nervous. In a few weeks, I will have the privilege of returning to the church in which I grew up. I have only been back a couple of times in the last 40 years. After I graduated from high school, my parents moved back to the family farm some 60 miles away, and I...
