More Assembly Information

More Assembly Information - Parking

Almost as soon as the announcement was made that the General Assembly would be in Nashville, the talk seemed to be that there would be insufficient parking. Having lived in the Nashville area for a total of ten years (8 in Columbia and 2 in Hendersonville) I too had some concerns about this. Since information seems to help, I am posting some of my observations today concerning the General Assembly.

I have been to the Gaylord Entertainment Center several times for events ranging from Arena Football games, to Concerts and Promisekeepers Events. I have also been to Tennessee Titan's events twice at the LP Arena.I have always been able to find parking within a block or two of the venue, with the exception of the Titan's game, where I rode a bus from north of town once and parked with friends the other time at a private corporate law office lot.

Since I learned that I would be serving on the task force for the General Assembly, I have taken the liberty to check into the parking again and have found that while it will take some time to check around, there is ample parking available.

I will also tell you that there is an online map that you can go to by clicking here or go to the site at www.parkitdowntown.com

If this is something stressing you out, please check out the above website or send me an email. I'll be happy to do what I can to help. God bless.

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

It's not what I do...It's who I am

Yesterday an incident happened that brought to a profound realization of what being a minister is all about. I must first begin by saying I found myself in a place I had not intention of being...that it was a split-second decision that took me to Barnes and Noble in the town where I live. Secondly, I need to tell you a story...hopefully not a long one, but at least to the point. Here are the basics; Yesterday morning I had a full day planned. This is not so unusual but the way it unfolded led me to what I like to call a "Divine appointment." I started out my morning at Vanderbilt University Hospital with a visit to one of our friends who had been taken there in the middle of the night by ambulance. He had been in the emergency room all night long and his family waited anxiously to hear a diagnosis from the doctors. You see, Bill had a recent surgery for a brain tumor and after some days at home suffered a blood clot in his lung. Of course the doctors were concerned wi...
