So, it’s Monday am and I can’t sleep. It’s dark thirty. I get this itch to throw a hook in the water, only I’m no fisherman. I have a tangle box not a tackle box. I can hook a night crawler and a bobber sometimes. Down at the dock, with my line in the water, […]
Family Vacation
I’m getting ready to take a vacation with our family. Honestly, I’m looking forward to unplugging. I love my job. I love preaching and reaching people for Christ. I want to give myself to ministry for the rest of my life. But, if I’m going to be around for the long haul vacations are a […]
High Seas VBS 2010 Update
I have to give it up for the crew running our High Seas Vacation Bible School this year. Last night was our first of 5 consecutive nights and it was incredible. My hats off to Mary Randolph, our director, and Jessica Clayton our assistant director. This year we have our largest group of kids ever. […]
Is Bigger Government The Answer?
There seems to be a philosophical and ideological shift taking place in the minds of Americans over capitalism (free enterprise) and the role of government. Socialism (redistribution of wealth) is rising in popularity as I’ve never seen it in my day. Government is being looked to as the answer to all our problems. Capitalism is […]

The Real Story Behind Amazing Grace
I came across this version of Amazing Grace by Pastor Wintley Phipps. He has an amazing voice. Before singing he shares how the song was composed. This will put goose bumps on your goose bumps. If not, call me and I’ll pray for you.
The Power of A Parent
My dad yesterday called me out of the blue and asked me to lunch. I didn’t even think about it. I dropped what I was doing. This was a rare joy. When was the last time my dad and I, just us, sat down for a bite to eat? It’s been too long. We had […]
Jealousy – The Green Eyed Monster
Jealousy has been called the “Green Eyed Monster”. This expression was created by Shakespeare in his play Othello, where one of his characters says: “O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.” The green eyed monster of jealousy mocks us and makes us look […]
