Few people on this earth have more influence in our lives than our moms.  In fact, I have read studies indicating that a mother’s relationship with her child from birth to age five is the single most important factor in the development of one’s personality.  Now that explains a lot, doesn’t it? A common question [...]

By Angie Torres Moure The LOGOI team is pleased to feature during the month of May Dr. Elizabeth Baker’s first book, The Happy Housewife, which is available free in both English and Spanish at  LOGOI.org. I recently had the joy of interviewing Dr. Baker ,  a Christian author and counselor, whose own life is as  fascinating as her [...]

I first heard Tony Campolo’s It’s Friday, But Sunday’s Coming message when I was a senior at Wheaton College way back in 1984. It left a powerful impression on me and I was thrilled when I later found a copy of his book by the same title. A section in the forward says, No matter what your need [...]

Do you feel lost in this age of twitters and tweets? Is it strange to you that today a “tweet” more often refers to an electronic message than the sound a bird makes? Well, it’s no wonder.  I just read a report that said the average “tweets” in 2007 was a manageable 5,000 per day. By June [...]

It is the first day in which a high school senior can sign a binding Letter of Intent to play football in college. After months and sometimes years of recruiting, the hype and drama culminate on this day as millions of deeply devoted college football fans tune in to learn which athletes have officially committed [...]

Dear Family and  Friends, I have a new favorite word:  FOREVER.  I seem to hear it all the time now that I am so aware of it. As you know, 2011 was my final year on earth with Les.  But he is forever in his heavenly home with the Lord. And as you have probably already read, [...]

Whenever a question like this popped into my head, I would simply walk over to my Dad’s office, sit on the corner of his desk, and toss out my question. Dad loved these little Q & A sessions.  He’d usually lean back in his chair and smile as he thought it over.  He hardly ever [...]

verything was ready” and so it was time for Dr. Les Thompson to finally move in to his new place. I love how the New Living Translation puts it in John 14: “When everything is ready, I will come and get you…” and that’s exactly what Jesus did.  How awesome! And during this Thanksgiving season, I [...]

t is with great joy to announce Dr. Les Thompson is alive and well—more alive today, in fact, than he has ever been.  On August 30th, at 3:30 in the afternoon, everything was ready and Jesus came and got him just as He promised in John chapter 14.  Dad is right where he has longed to [...]

You have probably wondered why you have not received replies to your most recent letters to my father, Les Thompson. On behalf of myself and my brothers, Ken, Gregg, and Ed, I am writing to let you know that my dad passed away last week after a long battle with failing health. My father spoke of [...]

Promises HESE HAVE BEEN SOME TOUGH DAYS.  LOGOI’s founder, Dr. Les Thompson , has been hospitalized for over a month now with a variety of health issues. Dr. Les is not only my mentor and my colleague, he is my dad. It’s been rough watching him struggle. During one particularly difficult time, the doctors suggested we should gather [...]

IT IS A HOT AFTERNOON here in Pinar Del Rio but anticipated rain showers will bring welcomed relief.  We have been in Cuba barely four days now, but with all our activity, it seems much longer. We arrived in Havana with close to 800 pounds of extra luggage, all of which we plan to leave behind—including the [...]

Most of us have heard the stories that when Johannes Chrysostomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart was barely five years old he was composing music and could already play the piano and violin. (That may be true, but I bet he had trouble spelling his own name. That’s a mouth full.) In his short 35 years, he composed [...]

WHEÑ my wife, Jenn, and I moved to Miami several years back, we decided to take Spanish classes.  We thought it would be a great place to meet some Americans.  Now don’t get me wrong, I grew up in Miami and love Hispanic people.  I love their culture, their passion for family, their entrepreneurial spirit, and [...]

MARCH 2011 few months back we shared with you a chapter from Dr. Les Thompson’s forthcoming book, “ Letters to Carlos .”  As a reminder, the book is filled with letters of advice and encouragement from an older, seasoned pastor to a young pastor filled with dreams, promise and questions. We are using a handful of these letters [...]

Dear Carlos, n your last letter, you described a prominent member in your church who is causing some difficulty.  As I read your account of the various “difficulties,” I must confess I had a good laugh over your descriptions.  Would it surprise you to know I’ve had very similar experiences over the years?  So let me begin [...]

For a good part of that day, as the cards kept coming, I was quite amazed at how many high school girls were secretly admiring me.  Now, I’ll admit I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, so it should have dawned on me much sooner there was something very suspicious going on.  It wasn’t until [...]

I am looking over my collection of 2010 pictures and, guess what?  It has been a very special family year again. God is so good! The year ended with another precious family wedding:  Grandson Matt married Laura Kohly on December 19 here in Miami.  She comes from a Swiss Cuban family and we are thrilled that we have an [...]

Dear Carlos , As always, I am thrilled to receive your letters.  Through our correspondence, I can sense that your love and faith in our Lord and Savior is growing.  I believe you are also getting to know me rather well as you asked me to tell you more about my dear wife, Carolyn, and God’s blessing [...]
