Stonebriar Community Church just hosted the 2020 Frisco Big Pack. It’s now an annual tradition where we pack over a million meals to be sent out to impoverished folks somewhere in the world. At this point the people at Feed My Starving Children don’t even know where the food we packed today (as I write… Continue reading A Crying Child

My 2020 Plant
When folks talk about having perfect vision they use the term 20/20. That means they can see things at twenty feet away that they’re supposed to be able to see at twenty feet away. The calendar this year says it’s 2020. Does that mean we’ll all have perfect vision? No. It simply means we’re at… Continue reading My 2020 Plant

That’s the date I count as our divorce day even though the courts say it occurred sometime around September 2015 or so. My mom died February 27, 2015. I… Continue reading 2019 in My Rearview Mirror

Our adult fellowship held communion last Sunday. It was a memorable time as always. At the end a few minutes were spent… Continue reading Mission Fields
No Stand Outs

There were a few well deserved standing ovations. But something was missing this year that I usually get during this highlight of the year. There’s usually… Continue reading No Stand Outs
Why Uganda?
Facebook is an incredible invention. I can be in touch with people from anywhere in the world…and I have been. Folks in poorer countries know this, too. That’s why they reach out to people in richer countries like the United States. My heart breaks for these people born in areas where poverty is rampant. I… Continue reading Why Uganda?
Newer Than New
Last Tuesday my brother turned 60. I got a present. I need you to focus here. I didn’t say I got him a present. I simply said I got a present. I really need you to keep up now. Last spring the company I drive for told us we’d be getting new tractors in August.… Continue reading Newer Than New
