Walking with God

Jesus meets you where you are, even in a bar. (Excerpt from travel itinerary below:) We noticed that one of the other places on the True South list was about a 25-minute walk, towards home, from where we were. So, we headed towards and down Magazine Street. We three...

Owls, turkey, deer, oh my! Sun beams through the trees, a woodpecker singing and pecking at the tree, and butterflies fluttering about, oh my! These are the delightful creations I get to see while taking my morning walks in my back woods. Oh my! How marvelous God’s...

Happy Palm Sunday.  I hope you will sit and share this video object lesson (or do it yourself) with the children in your life.  May I encourage you to never be ashamed of the Lord. Praise Him at all times. No matter where you are, who you are with, what age or stage...

It had been a while since I actually sat in front of my prayer wall to see each name and concern written in chalk. Praying for those written on the wall are often on the forefront of my thoughts, but intentionally following up on their situation…that was lacking. The...

Silence. A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak. Ecclesiastes 3:7 It’s been a month since my last posting. I’ve been silent for many reasons.  In life, we notice that there are times for reflection, times for...

“A sincere man who truly loves people.” This is how Dub McGinnes describes my next guest on Faith, Family, and Festival. Ray “Rolly” Rollyson’s family line is like a white oak tree. Their roots run strong and deep, and his heritage is firmly anchored in Plant City....

Today is National Strawberry Day! Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in Him! Psalm 34:8 NLT How can I not create a post about it because the Florida Strawberry Festival begins this week! The pollen is in full force, the weather...

From Farming to Pharmacy, then back to farming. Throughout his life, Mr. Joe Newsome has realized what is important…relationships. Whether it is with family, your workplace, or the community, personal relationships matter, and the most important relationship of all is...

What an honor it was to sit down with the "Queen of Strawberries", Ms. Helen Parke. She is such an inspiration and a joy. Ms. Helen's (almost) 98 years of living has been a blessing. She reminds us that there will be bumps in the road, but everything will be okay when...

How appropriate that in the midst of National FFA week, I had the opportunity to sit down and interview one of my favorite teachers, a mentor, and friend. We spoke of the Florida Strawberry Festival, the FFA, family, and his relationship with the Lord. When I think of...

If you missed church this weekend, well…Mr. Tim Lovett will take you there in this interview.  Tim Lovett is a man who loves Jesus, and he loves to talk about the Lord! It seems that each time I go to his office for something, God-talks weave their way into our...
