Birthdays are a big deal to my wife. Not in a bad way – it’s just that she really enjoys celebrating them. Special days, like birthdays, are really special to her and today is her special day. Today is her birthday. It was a warm summer morning when she was born at the local hospital… Read More »
A Day @ Tanger Outlets
Our vacation this month has been mostly about resting: limited activities, going at our own pace, doing nothing and doing whatever we want, watching movies and old sitcoms, walks, enjoying the beauty of the lake, reading, spending time together….RESTING! Yesterday was my love gift to my bride. We spent the day at the Tanger Outlets… Read More »
Family Heritage
There’s no denying that our family background strongly influences who we become as adults. While we may not be destined to be exactly like our parents and extended family, in most cases we end up resembling them more than we initially imagined.

Positive Family Traits
I’m excited about tomorrow’s message. While the response to the “Future Family” messages has been great and I appreciate all the encouraging things people have said, I believe tomorrow’s message has the potential to be life-changing for a lot of people.

A Future Fan
“The Cats will be moving left to right on your radio dial to start the game.” Those familiar words were part of the pregame ritual every Kentucky Wildcat fan heard for 39 years as the legendary Cawood Ledford made us feel like we were sitting courtside each time our beloved Cats took the floor.
