I am so proud of Holly! She had a goal last summer to want to learn to surf. We do go to the beach often, okay, a lot, but a surfboard is not in hand (it’s usually a fishing rod or beach chair) and the waves on the west coast of Florida are not known for surfing...

Last week I thought about a letter (a mini-book practically) I started writing to Hunter back over the New Year’s holiday. The writing consists of life lessons on how to be a man, how to treat a girlfriend who may one day become your spouse, how to give a hand shake...

We have had a lot of thunderstorms lately. Praise God for the rain! We definitely need it. With this rain came winds. These winds decided to clean my oak trees a bit. Yesterday I was walking across the lawn to go to my neighbor’s house. I noticed that there were...

About every six weeks I like to go get what I call a “Tinacure”. Tina, the petite lady who gives me pedicures is w-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l. I walk in the salon, she looks up, and waves or nods with a sweet smile. She knows I’m there for her. She gets the foot tub ready...

“And me? I pray. God, it’s time for a break!” I had to laugh when I read The Message translation of Psalms 69:13. Here we are in our last week of school before summer break. Can I get a “Woohoo!!”? Semester exams daily, kids are over school, teachers are over...

Every time I read the story of Lazarus rising from the dead in John 11, I think about my dear friend and minister, Tommy Warnock, preaching on these verses years ago. What a hoot. Tommy always puts a twist on God’s Word (not taking anything away from The Truth, just...
