I can’t tell you where we are at the moment except that we are in the air somewhere between Chicago and Shanghai. I can report that we’ve been in the air a long time, that we’ve had three meals, and that we have watched at least three movies and a bunch of TV shows. To be truthful, we haven’t exactly …

Last Sunday I sent out the weekly sermon email to over 4000 people. I just found out that the sermon didn’t reach most of the AOL subscribers on the list. We had over 450 bounce-backs, a much larger figure than normal. Nearly all of them were AOL subscribers. Evidently that happened because I had to go through a proxy …
We should land in Shanghai in 35 hours. At the moment we are at the Tampa airport preparing to fly home to Tupelo. We arrive at 8:30 PM, unpack, wash clothes, repack, adding the big bundle of thing we are carrying over for Josh and Leah, go to bed, get up at 2:30 AM, drive to Memphis, check in for our 6 AM flight to Chicago …

When he came in for dinner on Monday night, Marlene and I got to meet him. During my days at Dallas Seminary, he was one of the most popular professors. Back then he taught Senior The …
We have just posted a new sermon called Trapped! Here’s an excerpt:What do you do when you don’t like the circumstances of your life and it seems as if those circumstances aren’t going to change anytime soon?

Incredible weather—mid-70s, blue sky, light breeze plus vast crowds of people, music, rides, lights, cotton candy, corn dogs, deep-fried peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and funnel cakes. We had a blast. I’m going t …
At the moment it is 5:36 AM and I am (mostly) wide awake. In 24 minutes we leave for the Tupelo airport where we will fly to Memphis and then on to Tampa for a week of ministry at Word of Life Florida in Hudson, about 40 minutes north of Tampa.
