Yep… I must be getting old, for sure. As I type this, it is December 4th, 2023 and Christmas is coming at me like a run-a-way freight train! Lord help! Wasn’t it January 2023 just a few days ago? How’s that for an old guy’s setup to a blog post about the topic of Christmas???…
Today was another day filled with reflection, emotion, and personal memories of another friend and brother in Christ who has passed from this life to the next. “Cecil” Michael McCann was an old friend and married into my extended family. He married my first cousin, Melissa Willis, many many years ago. A celebration / memorial…

Last night I was blessed to share in a special service that was designed to introduce a potential recovery church to Humboldt, TN. I say “potential” because it is still in the process of being vetted and approved by the association of churches that shepherds the property. The property is the old Maranatha Baptist Church…
Over the last few months, five or six, I believe, I have met with a small group of believers to pray and fast for a day each month. We try to get together near the first Saturday of each month. I have held the fast most of those months, but not every month. A couple…
Last Sunday night, I was blessed to take part in a very special event. I joined my old friends to have somewhat of a reunion concert of the Kindred Spirits.
