Follow Me: 40 Days to Celebrate the King
My friend Sarah had a fishing show. It was called, catchy enough, Hooked On Jesus. I was her pastor so it seemed right that she would invite me to be a guest on her show. We went out early one Thursday morning to Percy Priest Lake, two boats, Sarah, her husband Chris, and me in… Continue Reading

Pity Party or The Faithfulness of God (Take your pick)
I don’t post this picture to elicit sympathy. (Though I’ve never been one to run from a little self-pity.) I post it to try and tell a story. And to put in context some things I have learned over the last 2 months that I hope will be helpful. Here’s the story. Early in August,… Continue Reading
Hearing and Listening
Okay, this story will get me in big trouble, and frankly, it should. But I don’t care. It’s such a good story it just needs to be told. I spoke at a big church in Nashville on Sunday. Doris went with me, and as is her custom, drove. On the way home, she was driving.… Continue Reading

Experiencing the Experience
When I was young, very young, I loved playing baseball. I don’t think I was ever really good but I loved playing. I remember my first little league team. I remember the feeling of putting on the uniform and that brand-new baseball cap. I remember the first game I ever played under the lights. I… Continue Reading

15-0
Jon-Mical had a baseball game last Saturday. I was out of town at a men’s retreat so I counted on Doris to give me the play-by-play. As most of you know, we don’t miss a ballgame if we can keep from it. Grandkids are God’s second chance to really focus on what is important in… Continue Reading
