Miracles don’t happen every day, but they do happen. Healings are rare but they do take place. God doesn’t always say yes to our prayers, but He does often. Here’s one for you. I’ve known Sylvia Moore 45 years as she was in my first church in the 70’s and now attends Little Church. Sylvia…
The wife God has given me is the most amazing woman. It’s hard to know where to start when describing Nikki. She’s beautiful, at times stunning, and is getting more and more lovely as she’s getting older. Seven years ago she took up ballroom dancing and now competes pro-am with the best dancers in the…
My heart jumped when I received this text yesterday from Kelly Viszolay, “Cancer is gone from my lungs!” What tremendous news for Kelly to hear. Such a huge relief. There is still more healing needed for Kelly so we shall keep praying. But I can’t tell you what it means to all who love her…

If my mom was still alive she would have turned 105 this Thursday. Sounds very old but I just read about an 110 year old woman who celebrated her birthday today and Bruce Ungerland’s mother turns 102 this week. Wow! How I loved my mom who was a poet. And a pretty good poet at…
“For Christ is our peace, who made all believers into one, breaking down the dividing wall.” Ephesians 2:14 It was the defining ministry trip of my life. Along with Pastor Mike Hudgins, Kent and Keitha Russell and Tom Ravensberg, I traveled to Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia in 1999. While in Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capital, I…

He then brushed every hair perfectly into place. Peering into the bathroom mirror, he smiled. “Looking pretty sharp buddy. You’re stylin.” At church Jason served as an usher. He greeted the congregation with…
