Sunday Night Reflections

Wow!  What an incredible service!  It was so good to be back at Sonlight and preaching again.  I’m so grateful that you guys allow me to be your pastor. I give thanks to God for this church family and for how God is moving and working every week.  Here are some of the highlights for [...]

I’m Amped!!

I’m so amped about being back and getting to teach at Sonlight this Sunday.  Of course, “Amped” is the name of our new message series that will begin this week, but I’m really glad to be back.  It’s always hard to stay away from Sonlight and the people.  Deena and I visited a great church [...]

Dialup? What’s that?

This past week we traveled to my parents home in Rossville, Georgia.  We had a great time while we visted them.  My only problem is that their computer is on this thing called “dialup”.  What’s that?  Not only are they on dial up, but there’s no wireless hub in the house either!  So let’s just cut me [...]

“How do I reach the steering wheel, Papaw?”

Today, after playing 18 holes of golf this morning with Pat, we decided to take Kylie on a family golf outing. Sheleena and Pat live in a golf community so they can golf all they want for free. I was amazed at how nice the course was! It was beautiful. Kylie [...]

Driving to Arkansas

Today was a road trip day as we packed up and headed to Sheleena’s home.  Kylie was amazing again even though she only slept about 50 minutes in the van.  Maybe she did so well because we let her have her way.  She just had to have her Krystal fix.  While she was getting her [...]

Fireworks, Tennessee River Style!

Tonight I did something that I have never done before.  We took the boat and went out on the Tennessee river and just enjoyed the fireworks.  At one point, as you looked down the river, there must have been 15 to 20 people setting off fireworks.  It was an amazing perspective.  As I was watching all [...]

What if I where 16 again!

My son Jeremy is fearless!  He loves the water and he loves to try every trick possible.  On the kneeboard, he twists, spins, jumps and even stands to do the same.  I said, ‘Jeremy, isn’t it a kneeboard and that implies staying on your knees?’  He doesn’t see it that way.  It’s way too boring [...]

Why I love this couple!

In October of 1989, our family was living in SanFransisco when a major earthquake occurred.  We actually lived on Treasure Island and because part of the bridge collapsed, we were stranded on the island for three days.  Once they opened up one half of the bridge, I took my wife and two daughters to the airport where they [...]

On Vacation!

We arrived in Birchwood, TN last night after an eleven hour journey with our 16 month old grandchild.  Let me just say that she was amazing!  She sleep for about an hour but the rest of the time she was fine.  It was actually an enjoyable trip and we were able to have some fun [...]
