Over the last couple of months, I have been involved with helping to coordinate a service project. A prerequisite for graduating from Union University is to serve the community through an approved service project. Our cohort discussed a few alternatives and decided to do something for the Dream Center of Jackson, TN. As of this writing, we have put in about 60 total hours to clean, repaint, and beautify the children’s playroom and replace a bathtub in a room that was previously unusable. Upon replacement of the tub and doing the needed grouting, caulking, and tile work, this room can now be opened up for a new family to move in and utilize the space. In all, we had 15 adult college students to participate in the project. Below are a few photos taken during the process of completing this project.

Hebrews 13:1
Last night at Englewood Baptist Church, I felt a familiar feeling. This is a feeling, a sensation that I have felt in the past. It is an air of expectation, waiting for the powerful hand of the Lord to sweep into a congregation and reveal things that are much bigger than they expect they can…
God is the Constant
Lately it seems… I have been often reminded about, listened to discussions about, seen the painful results of, and written collegiate papers on the topic of change. The times, they are a changin’. Change, change, change. I can hear the old songs running through my mind. When you examine the photo chosen for the feature…
6 In The City – Local TV
Today, I had a unique opportunity to share a few moments on a live local television program to speak briefly about the current upheaval in our nation concerning the potential overturning of “Roe vs Wade.” We did an interview via Zoom at Poplar Heights Baptist Church. The “we” consisted of Pastor Clarence Currie, Pastor Richard…
