I preached Stella Hereford’s funeral earlier today. She was 87. Unless you already knew her, you wouldn’t have had any reason to get to know her. Several years ago she fell and broke her hip and spent her last few years on a walker. If you saw her hobbling in and out of church on […]
Can I Get a Witness?

Merry Christmas
I’m preaching twice this weekend at our Christmas services and then I’m off for a week. I’ll probably try to stay away from the blog. Merry Christmas everybody!
On Time
Ever had one of those days when it seems like everybody is moving a step slower than you? You’re in the groove and everyone else is stumbling along. Today has been one of those days for me, and it’s been frustrating. I’ve spent all day waiting on people who don’t have their lives as together […]

I was running my usual route through the neighborhood the other day and I saw a sign in a front yard several houses down that said: This yard is NOT your dog’s restroom. Please stay off the grass. I saw a Great Dane in the backyard next door. . . I can only hope that […]
Happy Birthday Elijah!
My little buddy, Elijah, turned three today. We celebrated with pizza, sundaes, games, and a present or two. Caleb and Elijah are both playing with the Star Wars Speeder and the Mr. Potato Head Darth Tater (courtesy of Grandma Sue).
On The Importance of Flossing
I’m sure you’ve heard of the Fixing Broken Windows theory of crime reduction. If not, go check out the link or what follows will seem even more random than it already is. On a personal level, this theory holds true for the way I manage my life. The broken windows I need to keep fixed […]
