ICM concludes today...

Good morning folks,

I just wanted to give you a final report on the ICM held in Cleveland. I personally think this is one of the most needed ministries we have, especially since we are working with the future leaders of our movement.

Debra and I returned to Hendersonville yesterday to catch up on office work, since I will leave again tomorrow for church visits and to participate in a City-Wide Prayer Movement service tomorrow night at the North Cleveland Church of God.

Here are a few photos that Debra took during the conference. There are great resources available. My son, Shaun taught several work shops and you can find his notes and powerpoint presentations at his website: CLICK HERE One there, you will find a link under the ICM portion of the website.

I hope you enjoy the photos here, and I do hope you will plan now to attend or send representatives next year. God bless.

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...

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...

A new convert?

I just learned, that we may have converted a "roll-tide" Alabama fan! You decide.
