Would you like to go to Barcelona? Ed Stetzer offered a group of pastors the opportunity to join him on a “vision” trip to Western Europe. I had just finished an online course with David Fitch, “Readings in Postmodern Philosophy and Theology.” During our conversation at the end of that course, David shared his dream [...]

Friday Photo
We recently spent the weekend in Eureka Springs, AR. Street musicians played at random places along the way. The fellow in the center became quite animated as he sang, “Give me that ‘ol time religion.”
Though the shot was taken in color, it turned out nicely in Black and White. Look carefully and you can catch [...]
Where Have You Been?
Writing has been sparse for the past couple of weeks. Quite a few events kept me busy as I prepared to be away on vacation last week. Snow Hill honored Patty and me with an anniversary gift celebrating our 15 years serving with the great people at Snow Hill Baptist Church. We spent a week [...]
Thank You
I posted this over at our church website. I thought I would re-post here.

Thank You, You Preached Well
Fifteen years ago, July 18, Patty, me, and the girls began our journey as the “Pastor’s Family” at Snow Hill. My pastor growing up, Brother Justice, eschewed surprises. He liked to know what was coming and [...]
Lake Effect
Each summer beginning in the early 1960’s we made the trek from Oklahoma City to Lake Taneycomo which wraps around Branson, MO around to Forsyth, MO. Fishing for trout was always the agenda, anything else was a side trip. There were a few times we missed a few years. We returned to the regular trip [...]
Unplugged, Plugged In
Last week I headed to camp with our youth. We enjoyed a good week, great kids, and outstanding cooks. Our camp pastor was likely the best camp pastor of any camp I ever attended. That includes about 30 years of going to camp as either a youth or sponsor.
Needless to say we were unplugged for [...]
Quick Update – Silent for a Short Season
We spent Thursday through Sunday at Eureka Springs, AR. Our youngest daughter married on Friday afternoon. I hope to have some photos up soon. Since I “officiated” the ceremony I will be getting some photos from others. Jason Milam served as our official photographer. We looked through the “first” cut with him and he did [...]
A Few Days in Wylie
One year ago Trent, Sandra and their two girls moved to Wylie, Texas from Waterloo, Iowa. The difference in driving is significant. I remember when Trent was contemplating the transfer to Dallas. He called and asked, “If we move to Dallas will you come see us?” It was tongue in cheek and serious.
We did not [...]
Friday Photo
Yesterday David showed me around Delaware. We hit the beach and boardwalk. Dolles is a salt water taffy place on the beach. Loved the sign.
On the Road …
Blogging will take a backseat to a few days in Colorado. Mountains for the keyboard – yes. But, should I find a little wi-fi, I may look in to see what is going on the RNC and compare it to the DNC. Then again …
I ran across this piece from Anthony Smith – take a [...]
