Might Be Relevant…Is to me at least!

  • Over the last two weeks I began to write down thoughts that came to my mind while digesting the current events.  This is a reflection of those thoughts.  They are pretty raw and not documented with quotes, scriptural references, or evidential apologetics.  You might agree with them or disagree with them, that is ok. I…

  • This post reflects on the legacy of Bro. Jim, a dedicated pastor who touched the lives of some cherished individuals, such as Terry, Ronnie, Raymond, and Eddy. Through his compassion and commitment to serve the “least of these,” he demonstrated profound love and kindness, embodying the teachings of Jesus and leaving a lasting impact on…

  • I haven’t shared in a while. I pray this encourages you in your journey!

  • Recently, while reading through some old data files, I stumbled upon a devotional I had shared around 15 years ago.  I had been asked to speak at the annual planning/vision conference for a local Non-profit in our community.  At the time, I had been reading and studying the book of Joshua.  The Lord had really…

  • Several weeks ago, I was invited to speak at the annual Maundy Thursday service for my former home church.  A special place where I served on staff for several years with my father.  I am super excited to share in this special service for this family of believers.  I love Easter week and I have…

  • December 10th in the year 2021 will long be remembered by many.  It will never be forgotten for those of us who reside in a particular stretch of country covering about 250 miles over Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky.  The last few days have been of great impact in my life and lives of many that…

  • For those of you who may not know, I recently took up a new hobby.  Since June I have been immersed in the new sport of SCUBA diving.  (Note:  SCUBA stands for “Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”).   Call it a mild “Mid-life crisis” if you want…my wife often refers to it as such. Diving underwater with…
