As I woke up this Good Friday morning it occurred to me that we don’t celebrate Easter as much or like we do Christmas. Other people are thinking the same thing and some have posted their views or comments on social media about the same subject. When it comes to Christmas, the decorations for the […]
Are you a WEED or a FLOWER?
This week I’ve been thinking a lot about two words that have always been at odds or are usually never used together in a conversation. One has always had the reputation of being ugly and the other of beauty. I would like to submit this to you for some thought… Contrary to their reputation, beneficial weeds under […]
Thanks after turkey . . .
I just read a tweet from Aaron Chewning that went something like this… “I deserve hell. Everything beyond this is a gift.

When is it time to STEP DOWN?
When is it time to STEP DOWN? What an awesome responsibility to step in front of a congregation and lead them before the Throne of Grace, in worship to our God and Savior. The responsibility is to LEAD and FOLLOW at the same time. While leading the praise band/singers through the flow and dynamics of […]
Jesus Loves the Little Children
Jesus Loves the Little Children I’m reminded of the song I learned as a young child: Jesus loves the little chil-dren, All the children of the world.

Hill of Terror
Hill of Terror This past weekend, while traveling on Interstate 65, I noticed a bazaar scene on a country hillside. I drew the attention of my best friend, Freddie Norris who was riding with me, in the direction of the scene and commented that someone wasn’t thinking too clearly as to how that would look […]
