TOO MUCH STUFF!!

Will take time to organize. Excited for start in my new ministry area! — […]
State of Our Heart? Our Marriage Unions? Our Lives? …
I think that sometimes our relationship with the Lord is as rocky as that between Congress and the President – barely tolerable. To deliver the State of the Union address, the Congress invites [by necessity as the President is not otherwise allowed there during his time in office] the President to come to the Capital […]
MLK – “Letter from Birmingham Jail” – My Favorite
Many other speeches, papers, and parts of the amazing movement led by Dr. King garner more attention and love from most people. For me, however, His “Letter from Birmingham Jail” is the one that hits the hardest. In it he responds to some clergymen who were calling for “unity” and stating that this movement which […]

Judging = Old Adam. Loving = New Man
In our baptism, our old, sinful self (our “Old Adam”) is drowned. We are then justified and forgiven (becoming a “New Man”). Each day we are called to relive our baptism by drowning the Old Adam and bringing forth the New Man. So how do we tell which is live? Simple. When we sin, we […]
A Nice Way to Spend Some Lunch Time
This is how we lunch, Texas style! Many thanks for the use of guns, and fellowship with John Marrs who invited me to the range and then lunch at Whataburger after. It was great!
A NEW POSITION FOR ME! A NEW DIRECTION FOR ST. MARK!
My Dear Family & Friends, I have some exciting news to share with you. Over the past many months, the St. Mark lay and staff leadership have become convinced that the Lord is calling us to be more active in the community in which He has placed us. We at St. Mark need to “get […]

“I AM BAPTIZED!”
This Sunday, January 11, is “The Baptism of our Lord” on the liturgical calendar. I will have the honor and privilege to baptize a Chinese mother and father and their 6 month old son. Baptisms are easily the favorite part of my profession! To be the instrument God uses to adopt someone into His family, […]
