While I am trying to talk my stomach into remaining in my body and while I am considering hiring powerful mythic-type dwarves to hold the world still so I can walk on it, I am feeling somewhat better. I am due to take off on Friday for the southern edge of Columbus, Ohio to speak [...]

I enjoyed the Tulsa workshop… until…
The morning class I taught on Thursday surprised me. They had to hold it in a new you-can’t-get-there-from-here building due to the original venue being bulldozed. I imagine things like that give Terry Rush nightmares, but they happen and he seems to be a guy who rolls with the punches. [...]

I am headed off to the Tulsa Soul Winning Workshop tomorrow. I’m not sure if I will take my computer along with me, so this may be the last post here until Saturday. By all means, check and see if it made the trip. If so, I’ll be blogging about the people and sights and [...]

The stage is still decorated for Easter. It was a wonderful day. With the set, the lesson presented by Josh and I, the drama, the songs, the videos, and the prayers it was an Easter to remember.

…at the suggestion of a friend, I pulled this blog so that it wouldn’t hurt the innocent people involved….

I can see my lawn! Not all of it, true, but bits of grayish, greenish mush are now appearing between the piles of snow. I haven’t seen my front lawn since January 1st so this is truly a great day. Yes, we are having a very dark, cloudy, rainy day but it’s RAIN and I [...]

This comes from Gunny’s site, listed in the links to the right. Check him out from time to time and make sure he knows you are praying for him. For you Navy, Air Force, and Army types out there… remember, this is just for fun!
THE RULES:
For those of you who don’t know the rules, or [...]

I remember a sermon illustration from my youth that told the story of an industrialist who would, from time to time, drop in unannounced at his accountant’s office and say "I died last night. What happened next?" That way, he was always certain that his affairs were in order and that his family and business [...]
