This week I’ve noticed a lot of people doing yard work. The combination of Rock Hill schools being on spring break, the first week of nice weather, and Easter created the perfect motivation for many of us. Monieca and I even got into the act. I did something else this week as well. I invited… Read More »
God Answers A Prayer
One of our members was excited when I spoke with him on the phone earlier today because one of his friends had gotten saved Sunday at a local Baptist church. He had been witnessing to this man and was burdened for him. In fact he came to the altar this past Sunday @ FBC and… Read More »
A Smile and A Conversation
Megan has a big smile. She’s young, outgoing and likes people. I noticed her while eating lunch today at a local restaurant where she works. She was a natural at checking on customers, easily talking to them but not in a way that seemed overbearing or intrusive. Since I’m also a talker, when she arrived… Read More »
Two Men – Two Conversations
I spoke with two men Thursday, one young and the other old, and their reactions were very different. The first was an older gentlemen, now 80 years old. His language was coarse and the lifestyle reflected by his comments clearly indicated he was not a follower of Jesus Christ. I finally asked him about church… Read More »

The stands were full of parents and relatives watching two teams of young ladies play and I was able to talk with several people. A lot of people pass through our gym every winter during… Read More »
My Favorite Season

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 »
NASCAR and College Football
On the way to Greenville yesterday, Will Beaty and I passed two NASCAR haulers (photo below) for Joey Logano and Trevor Bayne. Being NASCAR fans, they caught our attention. It seems sports does that with a lot of us. College football kicked off last night and we saw cars flying Gamecock flags on their way… Read More »
Advancing God’s Kingdom
Recently I bumped into the same man on two different occasions in our community. His family used to be members of our church, but have been gone for several years now. I’m sometimes a little slow to hear God, but eventually I catch on. So the second time I saw him, I asked him where… Read More »
Observations, Questions, and Comments
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 »
