I ordered a copy of Glo, Zondervan’s latest Bible Software from Amazon. At Lifeway stores it was $80+tax but I was able to order it new from Amazon for $55.  The license allows for installation on 3 machines.  It took me about 2 hours to get this 3 DVD media monster installed.  I must say they are [...]

Stories have always been an important part of my life. Stories, good stories, have a way of capturing and keeping my attention like nothing else. If you think about it, most of our everyday conversations are simply us telling stories to each other. Growing up my parents always told me stories, mostly funny and some [...]

I had a training class last week in Atlanta, so the previous Thursday JJ and I loaded up the kids and drove to Greensboro, Alabama to visit with her family there. Her Family took us out to eat at a restaurant that was formerly a tire shop. Funny thing is, this restaurant had open since [...]

For years I’ve received emails claiming to have facts that substantiate Noah’s Ark , Sodom and Gomorrah, and a various other Biblical stories.
