Thank You
Paraphrasing Lou Gehrig’s speech from 1939 after he had received the news regarding his health while speaking to the New York Yankee fans, he said in sum, “Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth…I have always received kindness and encouragement.” The contents of Gehrig’s speech summarizes how I …
While the Plane Is In the Air
As I type on my keyboard, our son is about to travel to the airport in Nashville and board a flight out west. To give you a timeline, I’m typing on a Friday, the article is due Monday morning, and he and his group are due to return Monday night (I think). I trust in …
Stuck In Neutral with 76 Million Dollars To Pay!
Recently, Coach “Jimbo” Fisher was fired from his head coaching position of the football program at Texas A & M University in College Station, Texas. On the surface this may not shock you. College coaches along with most others in America’s workforce get fired everyday for a myriad of reasons. I am no “evaluator” of …
Election Day
Who are you voting for? Why did you do that? These questions and more abound this time of year! You know what time it is. It’s almost Election Day. Many who are running for office along with their camps and supporters have been looking for this date for a while! We know how it works. …
“You Wanna Bet?”
Much has been made about “gambling” in our society. To be up front and honest, I do not know anything about betting, playing the lottery, sports betting, or gambling. I do not know the process of putting “money down” on an event, game, or competition. I am not totally naïve, I understand that if …

As time moves on, I am thankful for Jesus and the church. While having an attitude of gratitude, I also have a feeling of concern. I am concerned about the world really not knowing Jesus or having an understanding of the church. I know this is not a new concept, but our concern for others should …
We Need The Church

Meaning, if you want additional insurance coverage or you want to choose different “coverage,” …
When The Casket Closes
One of the many things I enjoy doing for our congregation is writing bulletin articles! In addition to seeking to have a title that will cause someone to read the article, I also strive to develop a “hook.” Well, I hope I haven’t failed at both with this article! The title of this article was …
Greed, What Are You Drown To?
I would be the last person chosen to counsel anyone when it comes to “money!” Additionally, I would never be elected to lecture on personal finance or budget development for an organization or business. But, after fifty years of living, I’ve learned money/possessions should be used as tools and not as something to be commended …
Be All You Can Be
As Christians are we being ALL WE CAN BE? We all have talent that allows us to make contributions to the expansion of God’s Kingdom. When we don’t utilize our talents we have a tendency to utilize excuses. Moses struggled with this as well. We know Moses as a Leader, but he also made excuses: Exodus …
