She found a birthday card with a picture of Indiana Jones on the front that read, “When they ask how old you are, tak…

I am writing this note from my hotel in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. In a little while I’m heading over to the First Baptist Church to speak at a Flashpoint Conference sponsored by Word of Life Canada. Tomorrow I’m speaking at Emmanuel Bible Church in Simcoe. Then on Monday I’ll be heading home. And so it happens that I’m in C…

To put matters in perspective, 24 hours ago I was at Cedar Springs Conference Center in Sumas, Washington. Tonight I’m writing this entry from my office at home in Tupelo, Mississippi. Between then and now I’ve had approximately two hours of sleep, mostly because I had to get up at 3:15 AM to make my flight from Bellingham to Seattle. I…

The other day I received a newsletter in the mail from the First Baptist Church of Russellville, Alabama. That in itself is not a remarkable event since I’ve been receiving those weekly newsletters for 39 years. And I suppose during all that time I’ve never given much thought to it, but each week, regular as clockwork, the First Baptist…

Last Sunday I received a note from Alice McQuitty in which she gave a quick update on how Andy’s treatments for colon cancer are progressing. I have written about Andy here and here. We have known Andy and Alice for 26 years and count them as dear friends. I wrote Andy a note saying that we were going to “dig in” and pray for him …

I meant to say something profound because this is our 35th anniversary.But the hour is late so this will have to do. I actually don’t remember a lot about that hot night in Phoenix when so many years ago we were married.But I was there and she was there and she said “I do" and that has made all the difference.N…

I am writing this note very late at night–at least it feels very late to me. Even though it’s only 11:21 PM here in Oregon, that feels like 1:21 AM because part of me is still on Tupelo time. We’re having a wonderful time at Cannon Beach Conference Center this week. Soon after we arrived on Saturday afternoon, there was a knock on…
