College football just experienced an intense weekend. So many games were on the verge of an upset and Auburn’s victory over Alabama in the last seconds will be talked about for years to come. With many highlight-worthy moments this weekend, you might not have seen one of my favorite highlights from the previous weekend. It […]
Last Sunday, we concluded our services with the song “I Will Honor You.” We originally unveiled it at our Epworth Night of Worship and I heard so many encouraging words. It was a perfect way to end our services on how husbands are to love their wives. While the wives’ song had 6 verses to […]
Special day, today. We focused on how to experience the good life. How to have peace on earth. To begin the services, we played a little Trans Siberian Orchestra and told the story of the cello player in Bosnia where the melody originally came from.

For the last few summers, my dear friend Jody Jennings had asked me to go to Family Camp with him up North. The concept of a summer camp for family was great, but the distance was just not feasible for us. I began to talk with friends about the idea, and over and over, people […]
In this stage of parenting, I hear one phrase as much if not more than all other phrases: “Dad, look at what I did.” Even if it is Baby Gloria babbling at me and pointing to something she knocked over, my children desire for me to recognize their accomplishments. I am constantly being called to […]
We played “Without a Word” for the second time yesterday. We originally unveiled it at our Epworth Night of Worship and I heard more comments about that song more than any other one. As we got to 1 Peter 3:1-6 yesterday (the text for the song), I heard just as many positive comments. This passage […]
