Guess how old he is? Continue reading →

“When’s your next trip?” a friend inquired the other day.

I laughed and replied, “Well, we’re home for a couple of months.  But Lord willing, we plan to return to Canada in July.” Continue reading →

Greetings from Beverly Hills, FL

It’s good to be home after a month-long trip–Actually, three trips rolled into one.

It was good to meet many of our readers during our travels — some for the very first time.  It also appears that, based on our stats over the past 3-4 weeks, we picked up some new readers.  Welcome!  We hope you are encouraged and edified by our blog posts.

Greetings from the Great Smoky Mountains!

After two back-to-back meetings in Marion, Indiana, and Nashville, Tennessee, we heard the mountains calling… and answered “yes” to some much-needed R&R.

Looking forward to seeing our good friends Olie and Mary Williamson, worshiping with the Cosby brethren, and sharing a gospel message with them for the next 2 Sundays.  If you happen to be visiting the mountains this weekend or the next, we’d love to see you.  The Cosby church is located 15 miles east of Gatlinburg.  It’s a lovely, scenic, and peaceful drive.  Plus, you’ll get to meet some wonderful people who will warmly welcome you.

Well, March is in the history books, and April has arrived. But March Madness is wrapping up this weekend.

I was looking forward to two great games today—Duke vs. Houston, and Purdue vs. Michigan. Continue reading →

Greetings from Beverly Hills, FL

Well, this is my favorite time of year. No—not springtime in Florida. March Madness.

For us basketball junkies, it’s like Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the Fourth of July all rolled into one—full of surprises, fireworks, and the hope that your team wins…or at least your bracket survives.

But hopefully, we don’t get more excited about a ballgame than we do about our walk with God. Continue reading →

Greetings from Beverly Hills,

Thanks to so many readers and friends from around the country who reached out yesterday with congratulatory words as I completed another trip around the sun.  As my friend Sharon remarked yesterday, they seem to occur more quickly than they used to!

We feel blessed to enjoy this chapter of our lives and to continue, in some small way, to engage in a ministry that reaches beyond our borders.  Thanks to those who continue to encourage us,  read our blog, and offer opportunities to preach the Word.
