About Me

I am a follower of Jesus Christ, have been married to my wife Cheryl for the past 31 years, and am the father of four children: Paul, our eldest, just moved to Norman, Oklahoma, where he hopes to begin serving in a ministry position soon. David and his wife Ashley are preparing for overseas mission service at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Our daughter Libby is married to Joshua Breland, and they just gave us our first grandchild, Corley Jane, whom we all adore! Josh & Libby will move to Southeastern Seminary this fall. Our youngest, Michael, is being educated at home and keeps us entertained in our old age :-)
I served as the pastor of four different Southern Baptist churches in Oklahoma and Louisiana for the past 27 years, before resigning my last church in February 2013 due to a battle with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and moving to Norman. I am progressing well in my rehabilitation, and am currently ministering through my blog and supply preaching. I hope to return to more active ministry as soon as the Lord allows.

      I am grateful that it is helpful to you, Maria. I hope that you will continue visiting my site from time to time, but most importantly, keep spending your own personal time in God’s word and prayer every day! God bless you as you walk with Him!
