Weekly Recap: October 17-22

Good morning from the Great Smoky Mountains,

One of the things I wanted to do when I stepped away from “full time, located preaching,” 3 1/2 years ago was spend a couple weeks in the Fall in the mountains.  Except for our honeymoon here 53 years ago, we’ve never had the time to come for more than 2-3  days at a time.

We’ve been blessed that this is 4th consecutive year to be here the last two weeks of October.  But an even greater blessing is the connection we’ve made with the brethren at the Cosby church of Christ and their preacher Olie Williamson and his sweet wife, Mary.  They are lovely folks.  Kind. Compassionate. And just the “salt of the earth” kind of people. Continue reading

Weekly Recap: October 10-15

Good morning from Beverly Hills, Florida,

It’s been a crazy week with both computer issues and car repairs.  But somehow we’ve managed to post every day.

Hopefully, both issues are now resolved since we’re leaving tomorrow afternoon for The Great Smoky Mountains.  Yes, “the mountains are calling.”

Tomorrow morning, I’m preaching at the West Citrus Church in Crystal River on the topic “Forgive Yourself.”  Then the next two Sundays, I will be preaching in Cosby, Tennessee. Continue reading

Weekly Recap: October 3-8

Good Morning from Beverly Hills, Florida

We enjoyed a wonderful week with the East Shelby Church in Collierville, TN.  The brethren were engaged, receptive and very hospitable. If they were as edified as Norma Jean and I were, then it was definitely a mutually beneficial week.

Weekly Recap: September 26-October 1

Good Morning from Beverly Hills, Florida

“Are you still traveling?’ I’m occasionally asked.

The answer is  “Not full-time, but, yes, as we have the opportunity.”

October offers several opportunities and finds us away from home for about 2/3 of the month.  We’re leaving today for Memphis, Tennesse, where I began a meeting tomorrow with the East Shelby Church in Collierville. The theme is “Christianity 101:  Bible Basics for the 21st Century.”  If you’re in driving distance, we’d love to see ya’ Continue reading

Weekly Recap: September 19-24

Good Morning from Citrus County, Florida

Well, Fall has arrived in Florida. Sorta.  We’re waking up to 66 degrees. With predicted temperatures “only” mid to upper 80’s.  Give us another month or so, and it will be pretty sweet.

Tomorrow AM I’m teaching the adult class and preaching for the West Citrus Church, where we’re members.  Wednesday night we will be at the Brooksville Church closing out their summer lecture series with the topic, “God is Love.”  Then getting ready for a meeting at the East Shelby Church in Collierville, Tennesse, beginning next Sunday.  So, it’s a busy week ahead. Continue reading

Good morning from Beverly Hills, Florida

Norma Jean and I have had a wonderful week in a gospel meeting with the brethren in Marion, Indiana.  And enjoyed being house guests of Jack and Rhonda Wiley.

We returned to Florida Thursday in time to attend the 13th annual Florida College Leadership Dinner.  It was a great evening seeing many old friends from around the country and hearing the featured guest speaker Tim Tebow. Continue reading

Good morning,

Norma Jean and I are flying to Indianapolis today, to be with Woodland Hills Church in Marion, Indiana, for a meeting that begins tomorrow and continues through Wednesday.

Weekly Recap: August 29-September 3

Good morning from Beverly Hills, Florida

The past two weeks, I’ve had a relaxing break from the Pulpit.  It was enjoyable to hear fine lessons by Dave Schmidt at Southside in Ft. Meyers and Tommy Hagewood at Beverly Shores in Leesburg.

However, our schedule is full for the next two months.  I will be back preaching at the local congregation where we worship at the West Citrus Church tomorrow.  The next 8 weeks finds us with preaching appointments in Marion, Indiana, Cosby, Tennessee, Memphis, Tennessee, and Brooksville, Florida, as well as the West Citrus Church.  We’d love to see any of our readers if you are in those areas.  Check schedule tap for dates and places.

Weekly Recap: August 8-13

Good morning from Beverly Hills, Florida,

We thought we were getting a visitor tomorrow, named Fred. It appears, however, he’s going to pass by us.  But we’re hearing that Grace may be forming and coming later.  Yep, it’s that time of year in Florida.  It’s part of the price of living in a tropical environment.

Today’s post, a recap of the past week,  with quick links, allows you to catch up on any post you missed.  While every post seems to resonate with someone, two especially stood out this week in terms of reader response.–When you Fall, and My Body. My Choice. Right or Wrong. If you missed them,  I think you will find them encouraging and enlightening. Continue reading
