Just a quick "Thank You" to our military on Memorial Day seems far too small. Not to mention those who have bled the grounds of the world red on our behalf as Americans. We are spoiled rotten by God's mercy in this Nation, and one of the primary means God has used to protect us and our freedoms is our military's sacrifices. So, to troops past and present, I say "Thank You." We met and worshipped yesterday in freedom (spiritual and political). We should be quick to thank God for Marines, Soldiers, Airmen, Coast Guardsmen and Sailors and their families serving around the globe. Thank you!

Often in the Bible we read the phrase "And it came to pass" (in the classic KJV vernacular). Or, in more modern English translations it might be "And so it happened." What follows on the heels of this Bible phrase varies widely, from the most mundane to a whirwind of insane activity.

I am in the process of moving to a new state and a new ministry. I do not think many folks are actually following this blog, but for the few who are, I just wanted to say I plan to either get this blog back up and running soon, or perhaps begin a new one. Either way, I will let you faitfhul few know soon!

It has been one week since Hurricane Irene blew through my home town. Some 30+ people in North Carolina lost their lives during the storm. And, the east coast is still cleaning up and recovering from the aftermath.

On July 27^th the church lost one of its warriors for Christ. John R. W. Stott left this sin-stained world at the ripe age of 90 to
behold the glory of God in the face of Christ.

Tornados everywhere! My own county got ripped up just two weeks ago, along with much of eastern NC. Now, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia have suffered horrible damage and loss of life.

With the recent passing of two women I loved dearly (a great aunt and a grandmother), death has been on my mind. Sounds morbid, I know. That's because death is morbid!

On March 30th, 2011 my Mamaw died. Or, more biblically, she passed from death unto life.

Fitness nut Jack Lalanne died yesterday. He was 96 and looked incredible. Read about his death here:

Jesus said the greatest commandment we could possibly endeavor to obey is to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Matt 22:36, emphasis mine).
