I celebrated a birthday last week and I can honestly say it was one of the best days I have had in a really long time. What’s weird about that is that I was a little bummed out when my birthday fell on a Sunday. I figured that since Sundays are kind of busy for… Read More »
The Myth of Status Quo
We are grateful to wake up this morning to the sun shining after a day and evening of stormy weather. I don’t know how many times the tornado warning siren sounded last evening but it was several. Camille and I hunkered-down outside on our patio as we enjoyed the rain and watched the clouds. We… Read More »
Curiosity in New Orleans!
Camille and I got back home from a brief trip to New Orleans. It is always good to get away for a bit but great to be back home! We had a great time enjoying some very delicious food, strolling along the Mississippi River, as well as going to the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas. … Read More »
1 Year and Counting!
Wow! What a year it has been! Camille and I started our 2nd year of living in Mississippi this week and as you might expect, it has been a moment when we have looked back over the past 12 months to reflect. Not only did the time fly rather quickly but it was in many… Read More »

The idea is: “Take the Next Step!” This idea is born from the Scriptures which tells Christians that the essence of being a Christ-follower is to follow Jesus.

Sharpening the Saw
Many years ago I read a book called “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen Covey. It was one of those kind of trendy books that caught the attention of much of the country. I was curious and decided to read it. It had some interesting and helpful words that I have tried… Read More »
Sick of Covid!
This morning I was out for my daily morning walk. As I was walking around downtown Fulton I noticed I was feeling a bit weary and frustrated. I started trying to identify the source of these feelings and it probably won’t surprise you that it has to do with covid 19. My particular feeling this… Read More »
