Yesterday evening at sundown I drove up to a small hill not more than a mile away from my daughter’s house.
Though Interstate 35 was buzzing with traffic – it was to my east and I was looking west.
I was on the outskirts of a neighborhood with dozens and dozens of houses and apartments. Continue reading
2 Corinthians
Preach Jesus!
Our first meeting at CrossRoads was on a Thursday night. It was a small Bible study and I didn’t want to interfere with the Wednesday night meetings of the other churches around the area.
That was April/May 1999 but the inevitable was bound to happen. Continue reading
Anoint my eyes that I may see!
When I left Macedonia Baptist, I had no place to go; no other church had called me to pastor. So Linda and I returned to our home church but I wasn’t the same as I was 6 years earlier. Continue reading

Good as Gold
In the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol, there is a point in which Mrs. Cratchit asks Bob how Tiny Tim behaved in church.
“As good as gold,” said Bob, “and better. Somehow he gets thoughtful, sitting by himself so much, and thinks the strangest things you ever heard.

If you see a Nativity set up that is what you will see. Continue reading
Milk and Meat
Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment. 1 Peter 2:2
When you are born-again (John 3:3) it is much like the first birth in that you must have someone take care Continue reading
Thanksgiving
The Pilgrim story has been told over and over.
I remember being told the story in grade school. We dressed like Pilgrims and Indians for the Thanksgiving program.
This band of separatists sought nothing more than religious freedom. Continue reading
Anxiously Walking By Faith
I have to tell this story.
Last weekend I took pictures for this very lovely, Godly couple, Roman and Yoe.
She has been a missionary in Mexico, along with her parents and sister, her entire life. Continue reading
The logic of it all!
I like a logic puzzle. It’s a puzzle where you are given just enough information to arrive at a correct answer but you must use logic and deduction.
There was one on Fb the other evening but I was too tired to attempt it until the next morning. It was said that Einstein made this one up. Continue reading
