After our oldest daughter, Lillian, was born we decided it was time to grow our family by one more. On April 11, 2002, Olivia Caroline would make her entrance into this world. Our girls were 10 years apart, primarily as I shared earlier because Kim had very hard pregnancies. This wide gap though would provide…

I wanted to spend time in this post sharing about mine and Kim’s faith journey as a couple. I will get back next week to sharing about our journey of joy in welcoming Olivia or as Kim and I referred to her (even to this day) “The Baby Girl” and our journey raising two wonderful…

Our first two years of marriage were times of happiness and joy. We didn’t have all the riches that life could offer and even had moments of challenge. One thing that was never a challenge was our relationship. Yes, we like most young married couples had the typical financial concerns from time to time, but…

The journey shared so far has included first dates, courtship, the proposal and the wedding. Kim and I were married on a Friday evening at 6:00pm on August 17, 1990 at First Baptist Church, Athens, AL. Our wedding was a beautiful wedding, but yet simple. Kim and I loved the word “simple”.

I never come to the beach that I am not reminded of God’s sovereignty over His entire creation. I have spent the last few days at the beach. Every morning I get up, walk out on the balcony with coffee in hand and watch the sunrise over the gulf coast. As I gaze down to…

The subject that I am writing about and sharing my thoughts about in this installment of penned ramblings probably will not be popular with some and perhaps many that I would align with in my faith or politics, but then again those that know me well know that I am not real good at conforming…

I am a little behind in my writing this week, but for very good reason. I have had the blessing of spending the week with my precious grandkids, John Patton and Molly this week. I made the trip over to the small town of Franklin, NC last weekend to meet Lillian and Brandon at one…

At 2:15am on February 21, 2025 my life changed in a way that no matter how strong your faith or how much you may think you are prepared, the loss of my bride shook me to the deepest of my core. Yes, I know she received her ultimate healing and immediately went into the presence…
