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

Where is your name written?
Something I’ve noticed is how many have their name on a church roll somewhere and never attend church.
In one church the membership numbered 168 but the actual number that came to service was more like 40.
Another church had almost an identical statistic. 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

However there are times when they were out of my sight playing with other children. This is where bad things can happen. Continue reading

I’ve thought about the birthday’s that I can remember throughout my lifetime.
I can remember the 50th and the 40th pretty easily.

My cousin, Donna, in the early 1960’s
Not long after a child is born he/she begins to be introduced to the family.

What I remember!
It’s strange to me the things one remembers in life.

I’m not very sure that I can remember things in the right order. Continue reading
