For the last several weeks our family has been focused on the Regional and Super Regional Tournaments that lead up to the Women’s College World Series. Our interest comes from our granddaughter Hannah Sparks who is a former player and this year’s volunteer assistant coach with the Oklahoma Sooners Women’s softball team. Oklahoma is scheduled to play the Stanford Cardinal’s […]

Friday, May 26, 2023 our family tree put on two new blossoms. Our granddaughter, Rebecca Ozment Hirsh presented her husband, Patrick with two precious little girls. Ella May’s time of birth is given as 8:35 a.m. and Addi Charlotte’s is given as 8:36. Ella weighed in at 5-lbs. 3.8 ounces and Addi weighed in at 5-lbs. 11.7 ounces. We have […]

If you are interested, here is what is rattling around in my mind and heart this morning. Yesterday Peggy and I requested that Nicholsville Baptist Church accept us as members of their congregation and our request was approved unanimously. I should have taken care of this detail on my first Sunday as their pastor but I failed to do so […]

This week Peggy and I loaned our Subaru Outback to our daughter Julie and our granddaughter Grace Anne Coley for Grace Anne’s move to Austin, Texas where she will be working as a Child Life Specialist with the new Dell Children’s Medical Center North which just recently opened. This is a momentous occasion for Grace Anne and for all of […]

The cemetery is about a mile from our church and adjacent to the site of the original church. The cemetery is maintained by donations to a fund which is administered by Jerry Loftin, the church deacon. Cameron […]

Saturday, I drove to Fulton to see our grandson, Leland Burge, in one of his Four-H activities, which is called the “Four- H Pig Squeal.” The young people involved purchase two young pigs around two months old weighing 30 to 40lbs and for the next three and a half months they prepare them for market. This involves a great deal […]

Last Friday an elderly gentleman in our neighborhood had a close call when he came too near to the edge of a four foot drop off while cutting grass with his new riding lawn mower. The front right wheel of the mower slipped over the edge and momentum caused the mower and its operator to flip over and slide down […]

We are stricken by the news of a shooting at a “Sweet Sixteen” birthday party in the town of Dadeville, Alabama Saturday evening. Some of our Thomasville Tiger supporters remember going to Dadeville just last November 11, 2022, to cheer for our local football team in their playoff game. Our prayers go out for those who were injured and those […]

Millions of dollars are spent every year in an effort to turn back or slow down the rate at which we age. Expenditures include money for physical therapists, trainers, dietitians, nutritionists, personal physicians, messieurs, and hormone replacement therapists as well as a small fortune for dietary supplements and anti-aging creams. The only solution to the aging process is simple, die! […]

I look forward with great anticipation and assurance to this Sunday when we celebrate the resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God. That resurrection took place some 2,000 years ago on the third day after His crucifixion. The miraculous birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus were all according to the plan of the […]
