I can’t believe it has been almost 10 months since I’ve blogged. A lot has happened in those short 10 months. It’s amazing how God works in our lives. I have always wanted to open an animal rescue. That dream came true in August of this year when I opened “Saved By Grace Animal Rescue”. […]
In this ever changing culture, churches are struggling to find unique ways to reach the lost. Growing up in my little church in Newton, there was and still is only one church service. You sacrificed whatever was scheduled on that date and went to church. No compromises. Many churches now have multiple services on Sunday […]
Life hurts and it seems that very few people are happy or joyful these days. If you don’t believe that, just step out into the public and people watch. Study their faces and body movements. You may see about 1 out of 4 truly appearing joyful. If you resort to studying people on social media, […]
Not too many kids or people play with dominoes anymore, but when I was a kid, that was one of the few things my grandma had for me to play. I would take the time to set them all up in different curves and lines, and then I would push the first one over, and […]

One of my biggest pet peeves is when I text someone and I get no response and I am certain they have read it, especially if I need to know an answer right away. Just text me back if you read it, and give me an answer, just something, anything. If anything, do it out […]
A few weeks ago, someone contacted me and brought up something that I did that they felt was wrong. It caught me by surprise. At first, I was kind of in shock and denial that what I did was wrong. I had no intentions of hurting anyone and I felt truly innocent. I tried to […]
My 11-year-old is a fairly experienced drummer. He was scheduled to play with IMPACT, a praise band at an Oblong church a few weeks ago. He stayed the previous night at his sister’s house after a late night at the demo derby in Martinsville. The plan was for him to be picked up in the […]
I read a devotional this past week about a place called Crazytown. It really wasn’t a town. It was a description of someone’s life and how crazy and busy life can get. I thought to myself, “Yep, that pretty much sums up me and my life”. Not exactly that I’m crazy (I can be at […]
