Just click on the above link just to get a glimpse of a special day we had in September for our church concerning the important members of our family: the younger ones.
For all those moms and dads and grandparents who love Jesus and want their children to be blessed by Jesus [...]

With the weather we are having someone needs to inform the calendar gods that summer doesn’t end in September any more.  Man, I love this kind of weather late in the year with one exception–I feel really bad for the kids who go to a school with no air conditioning.  Anyone need an extra stick [...]

Next weekend I am planning on heading to Toronto and speak at the young adults lectureship at the Strathmore congregation.  From what I know,they are a great church and their minister Max Craddock has been a great influence for the churches of Christ in Ontario and Canada for a long time.

The most touching part to me (there were many emotional things about teh whole scene) was when [...]

Do you remember where you were that fateful day 7 years ago?
I saw the first tower burning and no one really knew anything at that time.  I left with an eerie feeling to head over to the States for the preachers luncheon and all of a sudden my wife called me and a second plane [...]

For the first time in a long time–By Wednesday afternoon I have done all my lessons for the week (all four).  This doesn’t mean I get the rest of the week off.  What it does mean is I can go about other business without having to worry about rushing back home to finish my lessons.  It [...]
