I’ve often said that someone should write a book on principles in scripture that tug against one another.
A perfect example would be Ambition versus Contentment.
A christian is instructed throughout the bible to be content. The apostle Paul wrote about contentment. Jesus spoke about it personally. Proverbs and Ecclesiastes speaks to contentment. What about all the [...]

Ambition versus Contentment
My golf game.
So far its business as usual with the golf game. I always start out very slow. I know my game pretty well and know that I am a feel player. You hear people wear this term out- feel player. I’m a feel player. Many people play the game by feel, but not as many as [...]

A plug for Southeast Christians Discipleship Class
I love DC. I started this 21 month intensive bible study about 3 years ago and like many other things in my life I quit after 2 1/2 semesters. We were having our first child and I was traveling a bit for work. I rationalized and justified my decision to drop out, and I always [...]

A lesson in paint colors
Our children, Samuel and Madison, were playing on our back deck just before our newest addition- Mayson Ann was born. They were playing with water color paints on our deck table. Madison was painting away when her younger brother stormed in to create havoc. Two toddlers at a table with paint colors is a recipe [...]
The Masters
Where to start?
The Masters practice round last year was a dream come true. It happened as a dream probably should. I dreamed it, thought about it and knew that someday it could happen. I left it alone but never forgot it. Perry, my father in law, called and said our good friend Terry had some [...]
Developments keep popping up all over?
Are banks and developers paying attention to the economy and the market right now?
I keep seeing new developments coming online. I see articles in the paper. I see lot draws and ground breaking’s. I see all this and I wonder who is going to buy all these lots and homes on the market.
There are only [...]
Memphis vs Kansas- What happened?
Memphis had it in their grasp. Was it really the free throw shooting or was it overconfidence or the arrogance of youth. I don’t know. I don’t want to take anything away from Memphis but they did not get it done at the end of the game. This time Billy Packer was right. He wanted [...]
Back in DC Class
I’m back in DC Class. I dropped out after a few semesters 3 years ago. I have quit so many things in my life. It is not what one starts but what one finishes that matters most in life. Unfortunately, staying the course has been a challenge for me personally.
I am very excited to be [...]

Southeast Easter Pageant
At first I thought I wouldn’t enjoy the new pageant as much as the old, then it began.
We sat in the seats directly next to the large screen on the left hand side of the sanctuary. For the first few moments I thought oh no, I can’t take this the whole two hours, but I [...]

NCAA Basketball factors we forget
Every year when I fill out my brackets and begin the speculation; I fail to remeber several key factors which dictate winners and loser in the tourney.
First: Depth is highly overated and may actually hurt some teams. Teams seem to get tight in the tourney, especially in the sweet sixteen and elite eight. When a [...]
