We took the kids to the annual Mississippi Pecan Festival this past Saturday. It was our first trip, but we understand it’s been going on for 20 years. Let me see; we ate cotton candy, homemade ice-cream, chicken on a stick, kettle corn, and boiled p-nuts – in that order. Needless to say we felt [...]

Yes I’m a college football fan. I knew I’d eventually get around to a post about my team. Southern Miss is on ESPN right now and I’m writing this blog entry. Yeah, very depressing to watch my team tonight. I know it’s just a game, but here are the “bottom 5″ from tonight’s game. 5. [...]
I’ve been surprise by how much the topic of music comes up in my blog. I knew I enjoyed listening to music, but it didn’t realize how much music was a part of my life. This past year I’ve managed to “rip” all of my personal CDs onto my computer. Through the years I’ve been [...]

I got behind this guy today on HWY 49 and snapped a few pics. It got me to thinking about the fish. You know the Icthus that many Christians put on the back of their car. Now I’m not knocking you if you have one, but I don’t. But if I decide to put something [...]
Dr. Tony Merida has been serving as the Interim Pastor at our West Campus. JJ and I had a chance to have lunch with he and his wife Kimberly a few weeks back. They are both down to earth people, who have a passion for Christ and the proclamation of His Word. If you want [...]
A few weeks ago JJ and I ran across a new show on NBC , Singing Bee. Contestants have to finishing singing the lyrics to random songs from different genres and decades. I thought it would be fun to see if I could keep up with the contestants. It didn’t take me long to come [...]
This has always been a significant scripture to me. Often times, when I find myself confused and stressed, I come back to this passage. The Book of Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make [...]
