Weekly Recap: July 3-7

Greetings from Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada

We’ve had a great week here already.  Celebrating Canada Day (July 1) and our July 4th Independence Day.  Greater, however, is the wonderful association we enjoy with the brethren here in the Niagara Region.  In addition to Lord’s Day worship and Wednesday evening Bible study, we’ve enjoyed Sunday dinner, a cookout, Gelato, ice cream , a wonderful Italian dinner, and today a soccer game –all of this with many of our friends and  brethren in the area.

Looking forward to preaching tomorrow at the Wellandport Church where Mike Stephens is the full time preacher, and also serves as a Shepherd. Continue reading →

Well, things are heating up here FL.  But it’s fixin’ to get hotter for us as we’re heading to Houston today.

We are attending the Southside Lectures in Pasadena,  where I will be speaking four times (Mon-Thurs), on the theme “What Says  the Scripture?” We are not only excited about the opportunity, but looking forward to seeing many of our Texas friends as well as being with the other speakers.  David Banning. Russ Bowman.  Jordan Shouse. And Tim Stevens who will be leading the singing.  And, of course, the Southside preacher, our friend, Bubba Garner. Continue reading →

Weekly Recap: May 29-June 2

Greetings from Beverly Hills, FL

Yesterday morning Norma Jean and I were drinking coffee on our pool deck and enjoying a pleasant 68 degrees.  She turned to me and wishfully said, “This is nice. Why can’t it be like this all summer?”.

Well it won’t.  Temperatures will soon heat up.  And the daily rains are coming.  It’s called weather patterns.  And it’s called change.  It reminds me of one sage who quipped, “change is the only constant in life.” Continue reading →

Weekly Recap May 15-19

Greeting from Beverly Hills, FL

It’s been a wonderful week here in lovely Citrus county.  We’re blessed to live here. To bask in the warm sunshine. To enjoy being close to our family. To have an opportunity to minister in the Word.  And share these blog posts every day.

However, we realize in the midst of our enjoyment, there is sickness, suffering and death.  We learned this week of the passing of a friend from the Kansas City area, Bob Harmon. He was 94.  His funeral service is today.  And even though his family and friends rejoice in the godly life he lived and the hope in which he died, he will be missed.  At the end of this recap is a link to a beautiful tribute written by my friend Roger Shouse.  I hope you’ll read it.

Weekly Recap: May 8-12

Greetings from Beverly Hills, FL

This is a busy weekend.  Not only are we celebrating Mother’s Day tomorrow, but it is Kenny’s Birthday.  He was born May 14th the day after Mother’s Day.  But this year, both fall on the same day.  It’s hard to believe he will be 50 years old.  Hmmm, how old does that make me?  Never mind.

Weekly Recap: May 1-5

Greetings from the Smoky Mountains

We’re blessed this week to be in our “happy place.”  Or at least one of them.  Plus our enjoyment of the mountains is enhanced by visiting with friends, like Olie and Mary Williamson, and preaching for the brethren at the Cosby church.  If you happen to be visiting the Smokies this weekend, come and join us for the 11:00 AM worship service tomorrow.

Our time here reminds us of the value and blessing of relationships.  Today’s bonus post features a post from 9 years ago today, 7 Principles For Improving Relationships.  Hope you will find these biblical suggestions helpful in your relationships. Continue reading →

Weekly Recap: April 24-29

Greeting from Citrus County Florida

As we close April, we are finally getting some much needed rain here on the Nature Coast.  It’s been so dry here that I wondered if some “Elijah” had been praying for a drought.

However, we are blessed regardless of the weather to refresh our souls from “the water of life.”  It’s our hope and prayer that our efforts on this little blog will add to your spiritual refreshment.  If you’ve missed any posts this week, we send out this recap every Saturday with its live links as way to catch up.  Also there is a bonus post from 5 years ago that you baseball lovers will enjoy-–“Are You Loafing Into Second Base?  Continue reading →
