On Sunday, we lit the candle of peace. We began Advent by discussing HOPE. How the world needs hope. Too many are filled with despair. Thankfully we serve the God…
As I reflected on Advent and the Joy candle that was lit this past Sunday, I thought of one of the most famous Christmas Carols ever written, “Joy to the World”. According to an article at Crossway.org, Joy to the World, written by Isaac Watts, was never intended to be a Christmas Carol. However, these words provide us with good reason to have great joy and spread it everywhere we go.
Let us take a moment to think about where we would be if it were not for our Savior Jesus Christ coming to the earth to seek and to save the lost. He did this through His submission to the Father and taking upon Himself the sins of the world.

August 16, 1980, Patty and I made the public commitment to one another – “til death do we part.” It happened in the First Baptist Church of Richmond, Texas. Both of our families were present, along with many friends, most of which were the band members I had played with or were currently playing with, not in churches, but places that stayed open ‘til midnight or later. 4 1/2 months later, our lives changed directions, as we knew we needed to change our life-style and committed totally to whatever God wanted to do in us, and through us. He became our first love and to this day, He still is.
This summer, we have chosen to celebrate all that God has done since that day in August of 1980. Too many things to count for sure, but what I want to share with you all, is the number one reason why we can celebrate 40 years of marriage. (more…)
One of my favorite bible verses (that has impacted me more recently) is Colossians 2:2-3, and it says: “2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united…
