Best of Walker Moore

I had a thought recently. I know this surprises you as much as it did me. For the most part, we are not a thinking people. Someone says, “Buy this,” and we buy it. Our society as a whole has lost the art of thinking. Since we don't think much anymore, we now have...

I think that one of the huge problems today is the outsourcing of our children. Outsourcing became a way of business in the 1980s. If I can find a company that can make a part cheaper than I can, I will outsource that part, allowing the other company to take care of...

Not long ago, my wife and I ran into a situation we knew we’d experienced before. We got in the car to go to work, and she asked, “Do you have your glasses?" “No, I don't.” I had to get out of the car, turn off our alarm system and walk upstairs to retrieve them....

A few years ago, when I returned home from the mission field, my wife had a surprise for me. No, it wasn’t a new car or computer. Instead, she had dismantled the dining room. And by dismantled, I mean … dismantled. She repainted the walls, ripped up the baseboards and...

When I was attending Bible college (I know some of you longtime readers are surprised that I studied the Bible, but it’s true), I had to take a class called “Christian Milieu.” It was taught by one of the most feared teachers in our school, Dr. Richard Land. Since I...

Life in the Moore household is often comical, to say the least. Most of the time, it consists of two senior adults or two senior adults with three young grandchildren, and the conversations can get quite interesting. Just this morning, I walked from the kitchen into...

Many years ago, Jay Leno had a segment on his nightly television show where you could send in a word that you had made up. If he liked it, he would read the word and its definition on air. I tried to get a new word on the show: “purgadoory.” Have you ever locked your...

I had just come home from a funeral. I was upstairs changing clothes when I looked out of our bedroom window to the street below. There, I saw a man kneeling alone in the road, hands folded, head bowed as if he were praying. Normally when I see a need, I move toward...

I have a gripe. I hate to start out in such a negative way, but I won’t feel better until I get this off my chest. It happened several years ago. It was 5:30 in the morning, and I was standing at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport counter with more than 40 students....

I am usually the greatest grandpa who ever walked this earth—or at least I like to think of myself in those terms. But sometimes even the GOAT (in this case, the Grandpa Of All Time) has an off day. Titus the Honorable came to spend the weekend with us. I picked him...
