“Whatever you are, be a good one.” This brief quote from Abraham Lincoln says a lot in just a few words. It easily applies to the various aspects of a person’s life. If you are a husband or wife, be a good one. If you are a father or mother, be a good one. If… Read More »
Innocence and Beauty of Life
“Thank You for the innocence of life, Father.” That was the prayer I whispered earlier this morning as I walked from the parking lot to my office. Young parents were dropping off their young children at our Sunbeams Day School, when I noticed one mother walking with two children. She was holding the hand of… Read More »
Billy Graham
Ninety-three year old evangelist Billy Graham was admitted to the hospital Saturday, where he is being treated for bronchitis. News accounts mentioned that he is looking forward to going home in a few days and continuing work on various ministry projects. One of those is completing the manuscript for a new book to be released… Read More »
A Gamecock And A Tiger
Monieca and I were eating cheeseburgers on the River City Cafe deck last Friday at Surfside Beach when two golf carts parked below us caught my attention. As you can see in the photograph below, one sported orange with the Clemson Tiger paw on the side while the other was black with the South Carolina… Read More »
Mexican Meat Loaf
While we were in Kentucky last week I tried a new recipe from a cookbook I recently purchased. If everyone was telling the truth, it was pretty good. The recipe was for “Mexican Meat Loaf.” I like meat loaf, but I also like the idea of changing it up a bit. Why not try something… Read More »

An experience Cathy had in his original restaurant, the Dwarf House, provides insight into the man and how he makes decisions. It was the late 1940s when he found a teenage boy… Read More »
Liam Loves The Water
We’ve spent a lot of time during this very hot week in the pool. The fourth of July, Saturday and Sunday evening the pool was the most popular place at our house. Sunday the water reached 90 degrees, which felt great. Liam is two years old and he started jumping in the water from the… Read More »
More Valuable Than Money
Some things are more valuable than money. I was reminded of that when reading about a recent burglary at a small Baptist church in Pennsylvania. The thieves stole some money that was earmarked for a needy college student and a football jersey that was being displayed as a tribute to the Pastor’s 18 year old… Read More »
An Old Cedar Tree
Ninety years ago my grandmother planted two cedar trees in the front yard of the old farm house she moved into with my grandfather. She died within a few years, but those trees lived and grew. I climbed in those trees as a kid and played in their shade on hot summer days. Nearby were… Read More »
Tomorrow Doesn’t Always Come
Sunday afternoon was tough. I officiated at the funeral of a 36 year old husband and father of four who died from an accident Wednesday evening. He was also a son, brother, grandson, uncle, cousin, and friend. Those who loved him are hurting and life will never be the same for them. His death was… Read More »
