Well…I must tell you that I don’t want to always bore you with my posts about such serious topics all the time. So, I’ll mix some things up in this post. I ask the question in the title, “What Excites You?” Can I tell you something “non-spiritual?” Is that allowed? I hope so! What Excites [...]

Educational Choices
Posted in Children, Homeschooling, Mens Ministry, Teens on January 27, 2012 |
You know I’m grateful that I live in America and I can choose how to educate my children. Pam and I have chosen to homeschool. It’s been a blessing to say the least. And it’s hard. Hard? Yes…it’s hard going against the grain of the culture and homeschooling. Believe it or not my kids catch [...]
Dunked!

When I say, “Dunked.” Were you thinking of this? Well, I like that picture…no question about that. But, it’s not what I had in mind. I like this one better! This is Madilyn Dowell. And the end result… Guess what? I had the privilege of doing this 14 times this past Sunday! Yep…I said, 14 [...]
Is it going to snow this winter?
Posted in Children, Family Life, Teens on January 19, 2012 |
Is it going to snow this winter? That may not be an important question to you, but it’s a serious question being asked by my two six-year-olds. They keep asking, “Daddy is it ever going to snow?” They were spoiled from last year when we got almost 30 inches of snow. My sister, Kim snapped [...]

Posted in Daily Living, Homeschooling, Missions on January 17, 2012 |
$20,000, Shoes, Tim Tebow and homeschooling. ??? Wondering, “What in the world could this post be about?” Well wonder no more! We’ve been raising funds at our church to purchase a mission house in Texas to plant a church in an area where there are no churches reaching people with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. As of Sunday, [...]
Man, Am I Blessed!

Man, am I blessed! I really am! I was thinking about just how good the Lord is to me and it’s overwhelming to consider. How about you? Remember the old song, “Count Your Blessings?” The lyrics of the chorus are: “Count your blessings, name them one by one, Count your blessings, see what God hath [...]
Gettin’ Anything Out of Church?
Posted in Church Practice, Elder/Pastor on January 11, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Sometimes I hear believers having conversations about church and I’ll hear one Christian ask another, “Are you gettin’ anything out of church?” Seems like a simple question doesn’t it? But, there is a lot to consider. What is church? Why do we go to church? What is our responsiblity as a believer to our church? [...]
What Are Our Kids Tossing Overboard?
Posted in Children, Daily Living, Family Life, Teens on January 9, 2012 |
This past weekend we had a retreat for the young adults of our church. I call them “young adults,” because that’s what they are (no matter what the culture may call them…such as adolescents, youth, etc). They are indeed young adults if they are over the age of 12 (the age that Jesus told his [...]
What about College?

I talked to a man the other day who is still working at the age of 67 primarily to put his granddaughter through school at Wingate University. She is getting her doctorate and he said that counting room and board, tuition, gas, and all expenses related to her being there it was running $46,000 per [...]
