When I met Nicole, I had just been through a painful divorce. Divorce is horrible! It feels like getting your heart RIPPED OUT of your chest! I thought that getting remarried would put me BACK in the position to get it ripped out, again. So, for the first year of…
I’ve always been really LOYAL. I want everybody to come along with me. But, not everyone is CALLED to go where we’re going! There may be people with us, right now, who are actually HOLDING us back! In fact, I was kinda surprised by who wasn’t going. I loved Bubba…
One summer night, back when Nicole and I were dating, I took her for a drive in my 1974 Corvette. I looked at this AMAZING woman and I knew that I loved her with ALL MY HEART! But just knowing it, myself, wasn’t good enough. I had to take the…
One time, I was in the grocery store and somebody hit me in the back of the heel with a shopping cart. (Oh MAN! It hurt like CRAZY!!!) They said, “Oh, I’m sorry!” And I responded, “Oh, that’s alright.” The truth is, I probably wouldn’t have been SO NICE if…
One day, I was getting ready to go for a motorcycle ride. I was just heading out the door… when Nicole walked in the room. I felt like I should include her, instead of just going off and doing whatever I wanted to do. So I invited her to come…
One morning, Nicole asked me to have coffee on the back deck with her. I’m thinking, “What? It’s 40 degrees outside!” But, she walked by me with that little walk of hers and I was persuaded. Love will keep us warm! So we sat outside cuddling under a blanket, having…
Back before we were pastors, Nicole and I were fixing up this house out in the country. I found this expensive $1500 kitchen stove for sale for just $500. We loaded it in the back of in my white Ford truck and tied it down so it was safe. I…
Good times or bad, they just adapt to their surroundings and make the best of it. They stay in place long enough to sink their ROOTS DEEP, in order to weather the storms of life. Just like that tree, we can learn to flourish under any circumstances, if we’ll just…
When I was a little boy, I remember telling my dad that we needed socks. But, we didn’t have the money to buy any. Can you imagine that? So he prayed, “God, we don’t have money but we could really use some new socks. We believe we receive it, now, in…
Growing up, I always thought our next door neighbors were RICH because they had an old rusty galvanized POOL. This pool had HOLES all over it, stuffed with pieces of old towels to keep the water from leaking out. One summer, my cousin was staying with us. He was “big-boned…
One evening, Nicole, Ashtyn, and I went out for dinner. Nicole was still on her phone finishing up some church business. But, she was looking particularly BEAUTIFUL! When our waiter came over, this cat was straight up CHECKING OUT MY WIFE! He wasn’t paying ANY attention to me when I…
I have a confession… I LOVE shopping! It’s my prayer language! (Shop-a-lot, shop-a-lot…Can I get an Amen?) Last summer, when we were on vacation in Italy, I was excited because I bought two really COOL pairs of black shoes! The next morning, we got dressed for our outing. It was…
