There is a lot of commotion today about the firing of UT Men’s Basketball Head Coach Bruce Pearl. 95-99% of the comments I’m reading back Pearl, and want Athletic Director Mike Hamilton fired for firing Pearl. Pearl Pearl committed NCAA violations, then lied about them. He lied to the NCAA of all people. He called …
Philippians 3:13-14: Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Ever since the attacks on our country …
Colossians 3:23 is pretty clear: And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; It tells us that whatsoever we do, we should do it as to the Lord. Whatsoever? Everything? Yes! So, Becky and I are going to pick up a few groceries today, along with a few …

It seems that most of my posts thus far on this blog have had something to do with church or Christianity in one way or another. I’m finding more and more that as I get older, that is my life. My job is a necessity to provide an income and thus take care of our …
In churches all across Tennessee today, members will be down, depressed and not into the service. Why? The Tennessee football team lost yesterday. I love football. I was able to sit down and watch a little bit of the game yesterday, and I was disappointed in their performance. But in the end, it is simply …
First things first in this post – I got charged up last weekend and on Sunday. I received encouragement. God dealt with my heart in several ways. I’m responding to that dealing, and with His help and grace my life is changing by it. This post isn’t a rant. It’s as much for me as …
