Greetings from Beverly Hills, FL

Fall weather is supposedly coming to Florida this weekend.  Here that means upper 70’s to 80 for the high.  And upper 50’s to low 60’s for the low.  But we’re ready for some real Fall weather, so we’re heading North.

After preaching at West Citrus tomorrow, we’re leaving Monday for a meeting in Martinsville, VA at the Chatham Heights Church, which begins Wednesday and runs through Sunday (Oct. 11-15).  It’s our first time there.  So, we’re looking forward to making new friends.

Then we’re headed to the Smoky Mountains where I will be preaching the following two Sundays at the Cosby Church.  If you are in driving distance of either of these churches, we’d love to see you. Continue reading →

Based on our calendar, summer ends today.  And Fall begins tomorrow.  In Florida that means a predicted high today of 84, and a low of  65.  Although our local Dunkin’ is selling pumpkin spiced lattes, it doesn’t seem like Fall yet. But cooler temperatures will come.  Sooner or later.

However, what has not cooled off, is reader interest in ThePreachersWord.  We’re happy to be back on a regular posting schedule and appreciate the many comments and well wishes we’ve received over the past week.  It’s encouraging for people to come up to me whether at church, when traveling, or even the other day at the YMCA and mention a blog post they’ve read.  Thank you.

In that regard, WordPress indicates that many of our readers missed Thursday’s post, “Stop Saying Biological Women.”  If you didn’t see it, please take time to read the courageous story of  this former UK athlete, Riley Gaines, and her stand for Biblical truth.  You’ll love her no-nonsense quotes about gender.

Greetings from Beverly Hills, FL

Yes, we’re home.  Contrary to facebook rumors we did not move to Hawaii.

However, we did enjoy an incredible, once in a life time, extended stay celebrating our 55th anniversary.  While taking the first week off from blogging, we did manage to produce 8 new posts during our stay. All of these have some basis in our trip.  Something we saw. Someone we met. Something we did.  So, if you missed any of these, this recap is a good way to help you catch up.  Arlo I’m including a bonus post at the end. Continue reading →

Greetings from Port Colborne, Ontario, Canada

Well, our time in the home of the Canucks is swiftly coming to an end.

Tomorrow I’m preaching my final lesson at Wellandport. Then we are heading back to the states on Monday.  It’s been great being with our special friends and brethren.  We’ve enjoyed sharing the Word. The excitement of VBS. Making new friends.  Fellowship over good food. In home hospitality. Seeing The Falls (again) and marveling over God’s awesome power (again).  The best Gelato this side of Italy. Cooler weather.  Laugher. Love. And even a few tears.  We may go home, but these wonderful folks will continue to occupy a special place in our hearts. Continue reading →

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.
