This photo album is a special one for many reasons but I would like to focus on one aspect of what made this day unique. These photos were taken at the main Czech Baptist Church here in Brno. The name of the church is “Bratrska Jednota Baptistu of Brno.” The reason this day was so special is because it was an affirmation of the Czech national brothers and sisters to accept the Roma brothers and sisters into their church and lives. If you understand the history of the Roma in Eastern Europe, you will know this is no small thing. Praise God above for changing attitudes, cultures, and hearts… amen. Below are several photos from the service. The panorama shot at the top was taken from my vantage point in the balcony area.

Look Behind and Look Ahead
It’s here… 2024 started rather slowly and peacefully for my household. Heck, we didn’t even stay up until midnight. We usually do, but this New Year didn’t seem to have the luster of others over the last few years. I suppose Mrs. Dawn and I are really getting old(er) and not as concerned about the…

Yes indeed, like it was often mentioned by those from the last generation… “God helps those who can’t help themselves.” I remember my dad saying that from time to time and right now, that’s how I feel. That takes me to the reason for this article. I’ll tell you the part that I can and…

Tommy is a brother in the Lord and long time member of Chapel Hill Baptist Church where we serve and worship together. As of this writing, I have not had…
