It felt odd wearing a summer dress in February, but as I walked into the West Jacksonville Baptist Church (WJBC) it felt more like summer. Then again, we were in Florida…and it sure beat the winter temperatures we left at home! It was the night before the cruise (Singing at Sea) and one of the…
There is a distinct feeling you get when you do something for the first time. Maybe your heart thumps a little quicker or your hands sweat. It’s not that the thing is scary, it could actually be very exciting, but knowing that the task is at hand can be both exhilarating and something that…
As you are reading this I’m sailing back to Florida on The Fascination, it’s the fifth day of the Singing at Sea cruise and tomorrow morning we disembark and fly home. We have visited the Bahamas this week, mainly, the ports of Half Moon Cay, Nassau and Freeport. It’s my first experience to be on…
This week I am floating somewhere in the Bahamas on the Gospel Cruise, Singing at Sea. In addition to the great music we’ll hear while on the open sea, we’ll also hear some good preaching. One of those preachers is Phil Hoskins. I heard him for the very first time last summer in Gatlinburg…

It has been quite some time since I’ve written a general post about what’s been happening lately and what new posts you can look forward to in the future. Shall we play catch up? First off, next Tuesday I’ll be taking part in a very special online event that has NEVER been done in…
This year I hope to introduce a new series to my readers called “From The Word.” It will feature YouTube videos of biblical sermons from a variety of speakers to strengthen and encourage our faith. The first selection is from Mark Trammell where he preaches on the difference between happiness and blessedness. The video is…
The night sky glared down through the glass atrium as I rushed through the Delta to get to the Governor’s Ballroom. Time had slipped away from me at the Opry Mills Mall and now I had to ignore the beauty around me to quickly reach the concert that no doubt had already started. Yet, the…
On December 9, 2012 I attended one of the very first Christmas concerts by the Jubilee Gang. It was an amazing night! The camera crew came in to film the evening so it could be released on DVD. Unfortunately, that particular taping never made it on DVD due to issues with the film, but when…
