A godly man

What does it take to be a godly man? Pray every day? Read the Bible every day? Go to church? Take care of widows and orphans? How about abstaining from cussing and drinking and all that kind of stuff? All these are good deeds but do they make you a godly man, a man that [...]

What’s the Point

The family and I went to Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Houston to celebrate Memorial Day and visit my Dad’s grave. As I was looking at all the tombstones in the cemetery, I got to thinking… What’s the point? If you believe in God and eternity, then this life is just an unrecognizable speck on the [...]

My Proverbs 31 Woman

Sunday we celebrate Mother’s day. I have an awesome mom. I know my brother and I gave her way more grief than she deserved, but she never failed to continue to love us, and guide us, and even bail us out a time or two. Knowing what my Mom had to deal with is what [...]

The Tau Connection

What a fine looking group of young men…  I lost touch with many of these guys until recently on Facebook.  Now I see random status updates from time to time.  Amazing as it seems, most of us grew up. What’s more amazing is how God has used a part of my life that was way [...]

A Time to Pray

This is quite a year in front of us.  We’re in the midst of a financial mess in our country.  We’re still fighting a war on two front in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Our new president is telling us we can make it through, if we all do our share.  I’m skeptical about what he means [...]

The Christmas Story

This is the Christmas story we started telling as a family together last year.  I wrote it because I wanted to share the gospel with my brother and his girlfriend.  However, I shared it again this year with just my wife and kids after we lit the Christ advent candle and sang some carols as [...]

The Christmas Song

My son wrote another song…I need to get this recorded so I can share the tune as well. You’re beautiful. You’re Glorious. You’re Wonderful. You came to save us. You’re the Prince of Peace. Above all things, You’re the Lord of Lords. You’re the King of Kings. You’re the mighty God. Emanuel. The Messiah. You [...]
