Growing up I had very few talents. I was a poor student, I was overweight and certainly not an athlete, and popularity was never a strong suit. Every year we had an awards day in elementary school where the top English, Math, History students would be honored. Every year I held my breath hoping for [...]

The Morine’s have finally returned from Canada. It was a great trip. We accomplished all the goals for going. It was great to spend some time with the parents, and the parents enjoyed sending time with the grandchildren. Gabrielle was the center of attention for the entire time. It was nice to see brother and [...]

Yesterday was a terrible college football day for me. I truly believed that the Tennessee Volunteers were going to beat the LSU Tigers. They could have accomplished this feat but two costly mistakes put the game into LSU hands. A sad defeat for a great comeback team. Also, the West Virgina Mountaineers were defeated by [...]

As Thanksgiving is tomorrow, I thought it might be time to list the top seven things that I am thankful for in 2007. Instead of making this a super long list, it seemed wise to limit the thankfulness to seven, since it is 2007. 1. A God that still loves me, provides for me, and [...]

Years ago I caught a vision from Ervin Jackson who was a professor at Heritage Christian University. The vision was to have a diverse congregation within the church. He was working on fulfilling this goal in the Florence area. This past weekend I experienced his dream in full reality. At the Silver Springs congregation all [...]

The family and I are heading to the D.C. area this weekend to preach a Gospel Meeting. We are looking forward to being with the congregation. Charity has been to D.C. before, but this will be my first trip to the Capital city. Unless you count flying in once on the way to Disney World. [...]

I am relatively new to the blog world. But for the short amount of time that I have participated in the blog community, I have been tremendously blessed. Through blogs, I have entered into some of the best minds in the church. Also, I have made some friends and contacts through blogs. It would have [...]

Here is the prediction. Here is the future. Tennessee will beat Alabama today. Sorry Sonny and Bobby, but Saban is not the Alabama savior that the four million purchased. He might be on contact for eight years, but soon the bama faithful will be clamoring for a new coach. It will be a great game. [...]

What an amazing trip. The scenes were unbelievable. I have traveled throughout Eastern USA but there is something special about looking at Mountains that are capped with snow. We even went up into Pike’s Peak and saw the “Garden of the Gods”. The only way to explain these sites is by “Wow.” God has certainly [...]

This weekend I will have the honor of flying to Denver to preach at one of the congregations in the area. I have never been to this part of the world and I am extremely excited to see the mountains. It will be the furthest West that I have even been. I will be preaching [...]
