In preparation for my eventual transition as a Senior Pastor, I’ve made it a habit of asking men in my life whom I respect and have mentored, challenged, and encouraged me over the years what advice they would give me as I seek to prepare for this exciting and challenging soon-to-arrive time in my life. One such man is Dr. Lawless. When…
I have had the privilege of serving as interim pastor at a small church in Lawrenceburg, KY over the last several weeks and it reminded me how much I enjoy and love ministry; truly, I cannot “see” myself doing anything else, which apparently is one of the litmus tests for whether or not you are…
Do you have friends that feel the liberty to bring things to your attention that are not reflective of living the Christian life? You might be saying, thanks, but no thanks.

Though blogs have been around for several years, I’ve just now succombed to the onslought and have started one myself (with the help of a highly intelligent friend – thanks “B”). I’m certain this blog won’t offer any profound insights or statements; it’s merely going to be a venue for me to put my thoughts on “paper.” I’ve always found…
