Last evening, I was invited to attend an informational meeting about a powerful ministry called Sat7. My host was a ministry friend, Dr. John Freeman, and the venue was his Green Frog Farm in Crockett County. I am glad that I joined them to learn more about this type of evangelistic outreach. During the course…
Yesterday, I was on the campus of my alma mater, Union University. The occasion was a student ministry expo, where nonprofits are invited to set up a table and talk to students about ministry opportunities. I, along with a new CEF colleague, Marty King, engaged several students with general information about CEF and our need…
I was blessed to be part of two important church-related activities last Sunday. The first thing was an invitation to share my heartfelt story with Poplar Heights Baptist Church.

Last night, he presented his show at Poplar Heights Baptist Church in Jackson, TN. Poplar Heights is another special place…
December 10th, 2022 was Dawn and my 40th Wedding Anniversary. We have been down many roads together, near and far. We have experienced life in unique and unusual ways. We have honored our marriage covenant through the good times and the less than good times 🙂 We brought two children into the world and raised…
