When in France…

When in France…

The city of lights. The language of love. The home of the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, and the Blue Danube. In short, France! And here in the midst of all of it is yours truly, soaking up its sights, sounds, and smells. But what am I doing here, you ask? Well, let me start from the beginning of the story.         My Dad was asked to participate in a project overseas with another company, and he asked … Read entire article »

Dad’s Reflections on 52 Godly Men

Sometimes Parents Get Tired

Sometimes Parents Get Tired

Tonight I’m tired. After a winter storm system passed through the Southeast last evening and night, God graciously answered a prayer to let the freezing rain turn into regular rain to wash away the ice. I awoke this morning to a set of clear roads in our area. After a good breakfast, David and I left for Atlanta to meet with godly man #45, Nathan Ridgeway. We planned to make the … Read entire article »

Week 45: Prayer Without Coffee Breaks

Week 45: Prayer Without Coffee Breaks

Prayer means different things to different people. To some, it’s like making out a wish list to Santa Claus; full of wishes and desires that are totally extravagant.
