Yesterday, I was on the campus of my alma mater, Union University. The occasion was a student ministry expo, where nonprofits are invited to set up a table and talk to students about ministry opportunities. I, along with a new CEF colleague, Marty King, engaged several students with general information about CEF and our need…
I was blessed to be part of two important church-related activities last Sunday. The first thing was an invitation to share my heartfelt story with Poplar Heights Baptist Church. I did this in the morning worship service. I actually was given the opportunity to conduct the whole Sunday morning service, which doesn’t happen that often…

We have honored our marriage covenant through the good times and the less than good times 🙂 We brought two children into the world and raised…
Some may not know that many years ago, Dawn and I were members of the Church at Sugar Creek. This was not long after we got married and just before I took the choir director position at Chapel Hill Baptist Church. Yep, you (some of you) just discovered another new thing about me 🙂 Well,…
