…WHOOOOAAAAA…we’re halfway there… Yes, it is our 4th of 7 days of General Conference 2024. We have made it to the halfway point. We are tired but our spirits are high. We finished the last of the committee work tonight and will now spend the next 2½ – 3 days in plenary work. There is […]
This is the day that the LORD has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it! We began our day with worship and Bishop Scott Jones preaching. I must admit to you, that I’m not sure I can adequately give you an account of everything he said. I’m going to need to go back […]
I couldn’t resist titling today’s post with the College GameDay theme song. Most Saturdays in the fall that’s how I begin my day. Not today…it’s Saturday and I’m not watching football. As much as I love the gridiron…I love Methodist polity more. I would also like to thank the University of Alabama for taking the […]
It was a historic first day! There are only two morning shuttles per day from our hotels, one that leaves at 6:00am and one that leaves at 6:30am. The conference started today at 9:00am. Those who know me well, know that this presented a huge problem as I am not a morning person. Luckily for […]
I arrived in Costa Rica on Wednesday. My day started with a 3:15am ride to the airport and didn’t end until I got to the hotel at about 3:30pm. Costa Rica is on central time, but they don’t observe daylight savings so it’s an hour behind Alabama during this time of the year. With all […]
There is quite a bit going on. Some of you know portions of what I am about to share. For others, this may be “news to you”. Very few know the full extent of what has been going on. However, now that everything has been formalized and all necessary persons have been notified it is […]
The following is an edited version of what I shared with my congregation at our Administrative Board meeting on Sunday, October 2, 2022. I mostly edited for clarity and expanded the text a bit to fit the wider audience. This is a pretty clear picture of where I am in my journey. I have taken […]
Today, I am very thankful! Today marks a one-year “anniversary” of sorts, really the anniversary of many things. Today marks one year serving a great church in the North Alabama Conference. Today also marks one year as an associate pastor…a career turn I still don’t fully understand. But most importantly today marks one year since […]
WOW! I really dropped the ball on this! I had planned to blog all the way through my last year of school and on into the process of becoming ordained. I was also going to add some interesting content. Now almost five years later and I’ve done none of that. There are lots of reasons […]
This won’t be a long post, but it will get me caught up for the week. Yes, this is a selfie of me on my first day of school. Lame I know, but I felt it an important occasion to document. I made it to class ok, although halfway there the bus I was on broke […]
