About a week ago, I was invited to an event at the old Central High School in Alamo, TN. A good ministry friend, Dr. John Freeman, had invited me to join him there as the Crockett Co. Alumni gathered for a fundraiser to support an important project… the Crockett Co. Community and Family Resource Center….
Revive us again… oh, Lord, revive us again! Those words should remind you of songs that you sang at certain points in your walk with the Lord. Whether they be from an old church hymnal or a fragment from a contemporary Christian CD, surely something comes to mind. The question really is… have you ever…
Valentine’s gatherings at church can be fun! Last night was a good example of that. Dawn and I signed up to join fellow Englewood Baptist Church, North Campus congregants, for a couple’s date night. The evening was simple but fun. We started with a lovely candle-lit meal… mmm… bacon-wrapped chicken breast tenders, smoked pork loin,…
Recently, a family that I know from the Czech Republic reached out to me to tell me about a powerful ministry effort that they have started. They are the Novy family. I worked alongside them in 2011 and 2012 in Brno, CZ and for an outreach effort in Jelsava, SK. Matej is the father of…

He was my daddy’s daddy and at this reunion, two of his children were present… Aunt Jane Wall and Aunt Gracie Fewell. The rest were other descendants and spouses,…
Prayer is a powerful thing. Indeed it is! For several months now, I have had opportunities to join a local “prayer circle” in the Jackson area. This group of diverse believers and concerned community people generally gather each Thursday morning at 10am to pray for a school, civic group, or other nonprofit entity. I’ll add…
I have met a few professional musicians and singers, mostly those connected to the Gospel music industry. However, I normally don’t get to sit down and have lunch with them and talk about ministry and life. I got that opportunity yesterday in Cool Springs (Franklin, TN) when I met Guy Penrod.
