Blessed
Some weeks feel blessed more than others. I can honestly say that my bride and I have felt blessed beyond measure for weeks on end. If you follow this blog, you may already have read the article entitled, “Adoption.” The week our son and daughter-in-love adopted our two grandchildren was a blessed week. A weekContinue reading “Blessed”
Finding Healthy Balance
(Returning to articles published from 2020-2022, this was written in late April of 2021.) Last Saturday, my wife and I made a trip to Birmingham to see our children, who live in North Alabama. We enjoyed the time we had with them, visiting, laughing, and catching up on the latest events in their lives.Continue reading “Finding Healthy Balance”
Adoption
(I’m breaking my review of 2020-2022 articles to celebrate!) Unless they have been hiding under a rock, my friends on social media know that my bride and I had a very special occasion recently. Not only did we have one, but our entire family also had one. Because of this, the result was that myContinue reading “Adoption”
Living in Community
(This was originally written around St. Patrick’s Day 2021. It is a continuation of unpublished articles between 2020 and 2022. I guess I write a lot about community!) St. Patrick – Who was He? A lot of fuss goes into a day we seem to hardly know about. We joke, wear green, and say sayingsContinue reading “Living in Community”

(This continues the series of unposted articles from 2020-2022, which were first posted in The Atmore News.) As a pastor, it seems there is always something I am studying. I am either studying for a sermon, for teaching a class, for writing a publication, or simply to personally grow closer to the Lord. This typeContinue reading “Image”
Christmas of 2020
(This post continues the series 2020-2022. Unposted until now, it explores ideas that occurred in real time. Date: 12/16/2020) I love to watch Christmas movies. The old movies portray everything as perfect. The conditions are perfect, the endings are perfect, and even the songs are perfect! (Imagine “White Christmas” playing in your ears right now.)Continue reading “Christmas of 2020”
The Search for Peace
(This article continues thoughts from September 2020 until 2022. They originally appeared in The Atmore News. I did not post online during those times. Date: 11/06/2020) Long ago a man sought the perfect picture of peace. Not finding one that satisfied, he announced a contest to produce this masterpiece. The challenge stirred the imaginationContinue reading “The Search for Peace”
The Hurricane of 2020
(This article begins a series of writings originally published in The Atmore News from September 2020 until 2022. There are some previous posts in 2020, but given the history of society’s journey, these provide interesting thought from then until now. Date: 09/22/2020) Well, my wife and I survived our first hurricane as residents in theContinue reading “The Hurricane of 2020”
Back in the Saddle
It’s been a while. So…I began a blog in 2020…and I quit blogging in 2020. This week I decided to get back in the saddle…it’s 2022. A lot has happened since 2020…a whole lot. In any case, I have been writing since then. I wrote a doctoral project and completed a degree. I have writtenContinue reading “Back in the Saddle”
