Baby stuff…

Posted on by

Okay, I’ll admit it…I thought about titling this post “The Baby is Here” and then writing April Fool’s in this secion. But, I think that would have been cruel and heartless. My family and friends might have read it and hated me. Or worse, Stephanie could have read it and been really confused. We don’t want her to read my blog and think there are any other babies I’m waiting on!!!

So, here’s what I’ll do instead: I’m taking predictions on when our baby girl will arrive. ( Just in case you’re wondering, we STILL do not have a name for her but we are thinking and praying hard!) The due date is April 16th but my prediction is April 12th, what’s yours?

I thought this was an interesting article on the Fox News website. True science, astronomy, archeology and history always support the claims of Scripture. No other book in history has been so examined, scrutinized and criticized, but the Word of God always stands the test of time!

Happy Easter

Posted on by

I LOVE Easter.  It’s right up there with my favorite holiday of the year, Thanksgiving.  The only reason Thanksgiving is at the top of the list is because there’s lots of good food and I get to see my family. Easter is a very close second!

Easter is incredible. Of course, I love Easter for what it means; Christ is risen from the dead! But I also love Easter for many other reasons. Just this week the weather became a bit more pleasant. It was almost like our neighborhood came alive with the better weather; kids playing, dogs barking, basketball in the cove… And yes, as a pastor, you have to love Easter. I have a wonderful opportunity to preach to many people who need to know Christ on Easter Sunday.

I guess Easter reminds me that I have so many things in my life to be thankful for; my faith, my family, my church, my friends and my life! I hope you have a great Easter!

And the Madness Ensues!

That’s right! It’s time for March Madness. I’m not a HUGE College Basketball fan during the season, but I love March Madness. Stephanie and I both always fill out a bracket and compete with each other. This year, I invited the staff to enter the competition as well; whoever wins gets a free lunch from me!

My biggest mistake so far is that I picked Georgia to beat Xavier. But, after UGA’s performance in the SEC Tournament, who could bet against them? Truth be told, if I weren’t a die-hard Bulldog I might not have picked them but it’s hard to turn against your team.

Who are you picking to win it all? I love it…let the madness ensue.

My wife is amazing!

God is so good to me! I’m just going to be honest with you; I have an amazing wife. She is blessed to be able to stay home with our kids and she loves it. She is 36 weeks pregnant with our third baby (this one’s a girl) and we have a three year old and a one year old already. Talk about busy!

It’s incredible how she loves our kids, trains them to obey and teaches them the Word of God. I would put her hours of work in any given week up against anybody else’s schedule. She is such a hard worker, always pleasant, giving and loving. She never complains, never wants to do something else and always seeks to be a better mom and wife.

God has given me many gifts in my life, but there’s no doubt that after my salvation she is at the top of the list. Proverbs 31:10 says, “An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels.”

Stephanie, I love you and I thank God for you!
