I’m not much of a traveler. I’ve never rode on an airplane, or a bus, or a train (unless you count the one in Dollywood). In fact, the farthest I’ve ever been away from home is Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas while on my honeymoon, and that was on a cruise. Driving has taken me to [...]

Sink or Swim
I cannot count the number of stories that I’ve heard from people about their experience of learning to swim. One of the more popular stories involves having their father pick them up and throw them into a pool or lake with the purpose of the kid’s survival skills to kick in. In other words, either [...]
Why Do I Blog?
Recently, I’ve been thinking about why I got started blogging. Overall, it’s evolved over a number of years. Many people don’t realize that I started blogging in 2004 on Blogger. I loved it at first, but each time I would start a blog I would eventually lose enthusiasm, and let my blog fall to the [...]
To Get or To Serve
I read this quote on Ken Meyer’s blog that struck a chord in me. It’s by his senior pastor on a video. He says, “The church isn’t here to get from the community. We are here–sent by God–to SERVE the community. There is something marvelous about the presence of the church where there is light [...]
Disappointment
The Miss America 2010 pageant was aired last Saturday on TLC. Fifty-three contestants competed for the top prize of being crowned Miss America 2010. The winner: Miss Virginia, Caressa Cameron. [Congrats, Miss Cameron.] What I remember is not the winner of the pageant, but that there were 52 losers. Not that the winner should be [...]
God’s Recommendation
I love this lyric in the song “Until the Whole World Hears” by Casting Crowns: “Lord I want my life to be the song You sing.” When I heard it this morning, God reminded me of Job 1:8. God’s says, “Have you considered my servant Job?” It doesn’t seem like much, but consider this verse [...]
Ups and Downs
This week has been one of serious ups and downs. Sometimes in the same day. I would go to a job interview thinking the best, and leave thinking the worst. I would wake up not feeling good, then finding that I have many more new job prospects. (If you haven’t noticed, this week has been [...]
Un-solid Foundation
I used to scoff at the idea of being someone who would lose his job. Honestly, I never thought I would lose it, but it happened recently. With that, God proved to me that HE is the foundation that my life should be on. Not my job. Not money. Not anything but HIM. Talk about [...]
2010: The Year of Growth
I love the Bible. The actual words from God given to us to be used as a guide for life and to strengthen and encourage us in good times and bad. Written down are Scriptures like Psalm 23 which I consider to be one of the most famous passages in the Bible. We also read [...]
Little Drummer Boy
One of my favorite Christmas songs is Little Drummer Boy penned by Katherine K. Davis, Henry Onorati and Harry Simeone in 1958. Here are the lyrics: Come they told me, pa rum pum pum pum A new born King to see, pa rum pum pum pum Our finest gifts we bring, pa rum pum pum [...]
