A quick note to thank everyone for praying for me. Today’s surgery went well. I’m home resting, taking pain pills, and eating soup. There is the expected soreness, but I’ve got a great “nurse” to take care of me. “A joyful heart is good medicine” (Proverbs 17:22). Your prayers and words of encouragement have been… Read More »
PreOp and Surgery
Well – it’s about that time. Yesterday I had my first ever PreOp visit to a hospital so they could fill out paper work, go over insurance, and tell me what to expect during tomorrow’s surgery. My biggest surprise was how long it took. I nearly fell asleep at one point in the lobby waiting… Read More »
Young Preachers
Yesterday I spent a few minutes talking with my friend and mentor, Dr. Joe Brown. Joe is 65 and retired from Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Charlotte. He recently began an interim at a church in Monroe, NC. Part of our conversation centered on young pastors and how many of them are planting new churches.… Read More »
Sunday Highlights 11.03
I enjoyed worshiping our Lord @ FBC this morning. There was energy and attendance was up. Not only that, most of us got there on time. I guess getting an extra hour of sleep helps. Three people joined the church. Monieca told me one of the ladies is already plugged into her Wednesday night women’s… Read More »

We’ll be there like we are every year, ready to meet hundreds of kids and their parents as we give out candy. It’s a blast and I really look forward to it. But that candy… Read More »
A Beautiful World
Monieca and I made a quick trip to Ky Thursday and were reminded how beautiful the mountains are in the fall. It was an especially beautiful drive Sunday as we returned to Rock Hill in time for me to lead the My Hope with Billy Graham training @ FBC Sunday evening. That got me thinking… Read More »
The Beatles and Forgiveness
For years former Beatle Paul McCartney has held a grudge against the John Lennon’s wife, Yoko Ono. In fact he was bitter. The reasons were many. In a new interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he indicated the walls separating them have now been torn down. He said the key to their reconciliation was “time, the… Read More »
My Favorite Season
I’ve always loved the fall. It’s my favorite season. Growing up on a farm, I found the fall to be especially beautiful and peaceful. The mountains surrounded us with an impressive array of colors, while the grassy fields provided a large playground once the last cutting of hay was in the barn loft. I remember… Read More »
