“Scar” is the word of the day. This word will make sense if you continue reading. How many of you have a scar? Do you hide it or do you show it off? A lot of people like to show their scars. It’s like a badge of honor. It shows that […]
Move Forward!
Years ago when Starla and I were Pastoring in Houston, I would often go downtown on Saturday and invite the homeless to ride our bus on Sunday to church. I remember talking to man whose street name was “Redman.” I asked him to ride the bus to church, he […]
Stand by your man!
My mother recently told me this story. It sounded similar to conversations I have had with people in my life and in my church throughout the years. My father and mother were Pastors for many years. They saw their fair share of changes in the church. At one particular point, […]
Room for Improvement!
Recently, I pulled my iPhone out of my pocket, pushed the bottom button, swiped the screen to the right, entered my security code, located my camera, pressed it and begin to take the picture of what I was looking at. One of my kids came up to me and said, […]

Don’t Assume!
I’ve made many innocent blunders in my life. The one I’m going to tell you about ranks up there with the best, or maybe I should say, the worst of them. Starla and I had gone to the hospital to visit a family whose newborn was having a heart procedure. […]
Statute of Limitations
This word of the day is, “statute of limitations.” There are some things that you just need to leave in the past. Many years ago, all four of our kids were sitting around the kitchen table, telling funny stories on themselves. They were approximately 23, 21, 17 and 12 years […]
Consistency is the Key!
Consistency is the word of the day. Too many people quit, give up, and throw in the towel before they even give themselves a chance to succeed. This is true in life, marriage, business, work and school. Consistency is the key to success. I remember when my son Kolt was […]
