she is all that


She is amazing.  My mom was that.  What I know and most people do is that there is almost no one else like mom. She is one who accepts us, holds us and keeps us going when few others are around.

I miss my mom.  It has been about 2 and half years since my mom moved her home to heaven.  She is missed by our family and those who knew and loved her, but I wouldn’t have this any other way.  My mom would be so pleased with my dad and my brothers.  And no one could take this precious lady’s place.

As you know my dad remarried a little over a month ago, and Ann is a great lady.  I want to say a very special “Happy Mother’s Day” to Ann Harrison, and thank you for being part of our family and for helping my dad enjoy life!

Proverbs 1:8 NLT
My child, listen when your father corrects you. Don’t neglect your mother’s instruction.

Another very special lady in my life is my mother-in-law, Sandra Howell. This lady came in to my life the same time that Julie became my wife.  Sandra is a blessed lady and has shown me acceptance and love.  I am grateful to be part of this family.  “Happy Mother’s Day”, Sandra!

Maybe the greatest lady in my life is my wife.  Julie is an incredible lady that goes far beyond what the kids and I expect.  “Happy Mother’s Day” to you Julie, and thank you for being such an awesome lady and know you are extra special to me.  There is so much I can so, but I will let our children share much of that.

There are many other ladies who have been mother-like to me, and they made my life richly and stronger.  Cornelia Fowler.  Donna Pratt. Gloria Haynes.  Trisha Elliott Stafford.  And there are many others!

Make sure those special ladies in your life know just how special they are. And join us this Sunday.  Once again Julie and I will be sharing a message together on Sunday morning at The Community.  This is going to be awesome!

Proverbs 31:10 NASB
An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels.

2 Timothy 1:5 NLT
I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.


I’m praying for these:
Pray for the family and friends of Isaiah Farmer who passed away in an accident yesterday.  Pray for Bobby Joyce and his family due to the unexpected death of his son. Pray for Larry Bittle having surgery next week. Pray for Jeff Davis, Pam, Skylar Penn, Rebekah Rakes, Scott Keller, Bud and Anita Sparks, family of Coby Cassidy, Billy, Jack Glowen and a family struggling.Pray for a homeless family we are serving.  Pray for our Mother’s Day outreach this coming Saturday.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
