Gathering with other believers to pray to our Almighty God is a privilege that truly never gets old. I find this even more impactful when you are blessed to be in a diverse group of internationals. Last night, again, I had such an opportunity as I joined believers and friends at the home of my…
A few weeks ago, I had a wonderful experience. I was interviewed by Bert and Nathan Harper, hosts of AFR’s “Exploring Missions” radio show. I have long been a listener and fan of the Harpers and this broadcast, which dives into the world of missions and missionaries. I never dreamed that I would have the…
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…
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???…

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. The original “long-standing” group was made up of Dale & Christi Denning, Danny King, and myself. We traveled together for over 20 years, singing in…
BAM!… and just like that, dozens of children hear about Jesus. How cool is that? You know, in the fickle modern times that we now live in, some churches are still able to pull off awesome VBS events. First Baptist Church of Medina is one of those. I was blessed to be invited to join…
I am a missionary at heart. Even after years of ups and downs and round and rounds, that is still the calling God has placed upon my heart. He gives Christians purpose and direction in this life. Granted, it is not always an easy thing to submit to His wooing or step onto the path…
