Awesome Privilege

Monday evening, I had the amazing and awesome privilege of going to Camp Lejeune to pick up the son of a very dear friend as he returned from a 7 month deployment with the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. I was in the Corps from 1978-1982 and being aboard the base brought back a lot of [...]

Can You Stand One More Song?

I love the outdoors. Not just cause I’m a “manly man” (which I am J But, mainly because I see God’s hand at work all around me. I grew up in South Florida and I loved going to the beach during a thunderstorm just to watch the waves and the lightning. I’ve watched the slivers [...]

I expected it to read something like “We understand we have generally been irresponsible with our financial practices, and we appreciate the credit extension. Thank you for being a [...]

A Prayer for a Hurting Congregation

As far as I know, I don’t know anyone at First Baptist Church Maryville, Illinois. But, my heart goes out to them and my prayers go out for them.

It is always painful to lose a loved one. It is especially painful to lose a loved one to violence. I pray for the family of the [...]

Can’t Wait for Spring

I love winter – for a while. It seems it has been extraordinarily cold this year, probably due to global warming

At any rate, I’m ready for spring. I thank God for the lessons about His love we see in the spring.

I usually get a real bad case of spring fever each year. I’m looking [...]
