I’m not going to name names other than myself but I do agree with the fact that when we are young, we do stupid things. We certainly say stupid things as well. I remember a stupid thing I did while in High School and I’m embarrassed to think I could get away with it. I…
Sometimes when I reflect on my life, I wonder where in the world has the time gone. Some days it seems like forever since I was a 16-year-old boy at home just getting my freedom to drive. On other days, it seems like yesterday that my oldest son was born. Today I’m trying to remember…
“What you are doing speaks so loud, I can’t hear what you’re saying.” This is another way of saying “Actions speaks louder than words”. I think this is an axiom that is chocked full of truth. Joash was 7 years old when he was made king of Judah. His son, Amaziah was only 25 years…
I have felt on many occasions that my prayers are hitting the ceiling of my house. As I keep walking with the Lord, I realize that He ALWAYS listens to the cry of my heart. I know that He’s heard my heart’s cry even when it was corrupted by sin. The Lord has always looked…
There seems to be several fundraisers going around the office every month. I recently bought a raffle ticket for a fundraiser for a local charitable group.

When my kids all learned to drive and got their drivers license, these are two words that automatically came out of my mouth when they left the house. I still find myself saying this to them when they are home for a visit and driving back to where they live. It may seem that…
I remember several years ago when I was a young student pastor in Tennessee, being part of a Bible Study called “Peace Treaty With God”. There were a lot of truths that came from that study that really shaped the outcome of my life. It wasn’t until several years later that I discovered the value…
I grew up in a small community in Kentucky. I went to school nearby for elementary school (Grades 1-8). I learned a lot about relationships during my school years. My four years of high school were in the “county seat” which was also a small town. I didn’t grow up knowing that many people but…
I can still remember my college days when I was broke as a joke and struggled to stretch the money I had as far as I could make it go. It was quite a challenge some times because I really wanted to have fun with my friends who always seemed to have plenty of money…
