1) If you ever come to Gulf Shores, be sure to eat at Doc’s Seafood Shack in nearby Orange Beach. The sign out front says they have have the World’s Best Gumbo. With that kind of confidence, how could you resist? The place doesn’t exactly look like a shack; it’s more of a rundown, retro-50s kind of l …

Our hosts for the trip were Greg Kuehn, pastor of Sierra Bible Church, his wife Debbie, and Dave Smith, executive pastor. Dave and Greg have worked together for 17 years, and they …

At the moment I am sitting in O’Hare Airport in Chicago waiting for my flight to San Francisco. Today I am hopscotching across the country, trying to get from Tupelo to Silver Spur Conference Center in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California.
