I read his blog because he linked to my blog and it appeared on the management page. If I was really good at this tagging stuff, I would follow all the rules of tagging more people, but really I have never been into forward emails and this tagging stuff seems too much like a [...]

First Day Rebuke

Matthew | April 22, 2008

At the age of 20, I left home from Nova Scotia to attend the Brown Trail School of Preaching. I was a Christian for about 8 months before I started to attend the training school. At Brown Trail, the term “rebuke” was thrown around a lot. And I certainly received numerous rebukes [...]

Events for the Weekend

Matthew | April 20, 2008

Gabrielle had her two birthdays this weekend. One on Friday for the little children from church and the community and on Saturday for the family. Both birthdays were successful, except for Gabrielle crying during the singing of “Happy Birthday.” She said “I do not like people singing to me.” She must [...]

A Class Act Teacher

Matthew | March 28, 2008

Yesterday at FHU I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Woods. A few weeks ago we received our mid-term tests back. I had a respectable grade of 92. As I was passing the test back in, I made a little comment of, “Dr. Woods, this is funny that the question I felt [...]

The Writing Part of Thesis is Complete

Matthew | March 22, 2008

I printed off the entire thesis yesterday. It is a massive project when it is put on paper. It has enriched me, challenged me, and blessed me. It was on “The Discipline of a Godly Minister.” Being a godly minister is important to me because of the need for God’s representative [...]

I Must Be Getting Old

Matthew | March 4, 2008

You know those type of men. You see them at the basketball games, football games, whatever sporting activity that their child is playing. He is the head coach, critic, biggest fan, and certainly the loudest. This man is a sad case. But even worst is the man on the sidelines coaching [...]

All In A Day’s Work

Matthew | February 12, 2008

Every morning I usually write a quick blog about whatever is on my mind. Yesterday I started my morning with this. Then I moved on to writing the bulletin article, moved on to a newspaper article, fielded a few calls, and began some study on the last lesson in the series on the [...]

College Signing Day

Matthew | February 6, 2008

College signing day is one of the highlights of the year. This year the Volunteers need to have a very strong day to have a good recruiting class. It really bugs me that Alabama is going to have a strong class this year. I love it when bama gets beat. It [...]

Application to Harding Graduate

Matthew | January 29, 2008

This week I sent off my application for the Doctor of Ministry program at Harding Graduate School. After a lot of prayer, I thought it best to work on the Ministry program over the Ph.D program. I do not have the desire to be a professor in a university. I love [...]

Weekend Events

Matthew | January 27, 2008

Saturday we were going to have game night at the Morine’s house, but that was cancelled because of sickness. The Morine clan travelled to Florence, AL for the day. While we were there, we picked up some books, Wayne Jackson’s book on Acts, and Homer Hailey’s book on the Minor Prophets, and a [...]
