An observation, question, and comment: The observation – a couple expressing their love for each other. Last week Monieca and I ate a late breakfast/early lunch at a Waffle House in NC. Through the window I saw a middle aged couple in the parking lot kiss then get into separate vehicles to go different places.… Read More »
Thomas Helwys’ Wednesday News & Views
This week’s Wednesday News & Views is dedicated to Thomas Helwys (1575 –1616), an English lawyer and theologian who played a major role in the development of the people now known as Baptists.

A Growing Church in a Corn Field
Yesterday Monieca and I worshiped at Lee Park Baptist Church located on the edge of Monroe, NC. The area has historically been farming country and the church property is still bordered by a corn field. They have three services on Sunday morning, so we decided to attend the 11AM service. When we arrived the small… Read More »
Two Conversations
Earlier this week I had brief conversations with two different women and heard God speaking to my heart after each one. So I thought I’d share them with you. The first happened with an employee at a Best Buy store. She was helping me with various questions about blue tooth and cable connections for my… Read More »

As dinner approached we were all weary and hungry. We had planned to meet some friends from KY vacationing at the beach for dinner at… Read More »

This is a young church that started 10 years ago with 12 people meeting in a living room and today has nearly 2,000 people attending… Read More »
Ice Cream and Alcohol
We were sitting at a table on the sidewalk in North Myrtle Beach eating ice cream when a man at the table next to us noticed my UK shirt and asked me about it. He was an African-American about my age on vacation with his family from Columbus, Ohio and was a “Buckeye” fan. My… Read More »
Life Goes On
Seven kids ages 3 to 9 were having fun playing with bicycles, big wheels, toy guns, a sand box, a basketball and goal, and their imaginations in the cul-de-sac and front yard facing Jenetta’s house. They laughed, shouted, argued, fell, got up, ran, sat down, rode, shot, and made any number of happy noises as… Read More »
New Clothes Are Not Free
I’ve spent more money on new clothes the past two months than any time I can remember. While getting new stuff is fun, its impact on cash flow is less enjoyable. I’ve looked hard for good deals and gotten a lot of stuff at really good prices. I can bargain hunt with the best “ladies”… Read More »
