The Alabama Softball Team after winning the 2012 NCAA World Series. Photo from AP. I think the prophet Nehemiah might have shouted “Roll Tide”on June 7th too. I stayed up until 1 am on this day watching the Alabama Crimson Tide softball team go head to head with Oklahoma’s team in the deciding game of the…
The Esquires – Dad is on the far left. A few weeks ago, Glenn, a guy I go to Underwood Baptist with, told me he really enjoyed my blog posts, but they lean a little toward women. Well, I do have a women’s ministry, but since it is Father’s Day, I am going to venture…
Google – it’s not just a search engine – we have made it into a verb! Think about how many things we Google each day…recipes, song lyrics, what that weird looking freckle might be…the list could go on and on. So if we are “google-ing” all of this kind of information, I wonder if we…
Got a short and sweet post this morning after God put a very clear visual in my head. Last night, I was trying to encourage a friend who had become discouraged by unappreciated efforts of kindness. I sent her Galatians 6:9, “Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will…

There is no more awe-inspiring imagery of Jesus than that of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Anytime I see the movie “Chronicles of Narnia” and hear Aslan (Turkish for lion) roar with the power of God Almighty backing Him up, it never fails to send holy goose bumps up and down my spine….
Ahhh…the question of the ages…Who Am I? Philosophers, poets, great thinkers – and you – have pondered this question for eons. The desire to know who we are and how we fit into the bigger picture is not unusual. I actually think God uses this desire to draw us to Him. God answers this question…
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 1:13 Wow – this verse just pierced my heart this past weekend. The Bible has so much to say about protecting our minds from the influences of this world and…
Toyota Camry Vs. Bambi descending Spruce Pine Mountain in Russellville – I’m OK, but Bambi didn’t make it! It wasn’t really Bambi – it was more like her mama. Our encounter occurred as I was traveling north on highway 43 yesterday afternoon. I caught a glimpse of her in my peripheral vision to the left…
