  • Comment to those looking at my sermons: Please forgive any misspellings and grammatically errant drifts, as I believe the Lord has made His point with the ministry He has given to me. I was one of the <10 children chosen to integrate our schools in the early 60's. There was only one black high school and one white. My class had 736 students and I was chosen as student choir director and was also tapped to direct the graduating class in singing the school song. these activities helped prepare me for this ministry.
  • Sermon or series that made a difference: Which side of the cross are you on?
  • One of my favorite illustrations: Life can be divided into two categories; gnats and camels. Pay more attention to the camels!
  • Family: Married for 40 years [Lynda] with two children.
  • What my parents think of my sermons: Not applicable
  • What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: I'm not really sure, except she is my best supporter of the ministry we conduct weekly and seems to think that I can produce an effective message without preparation.
  • Best advice given to me about preaching: You cannot feed a horse and ride him at the same time!
  • Books that have had an impact: Audacity of Hope; Colin Powell
  • Hobbies: Bowling; Golf; Fishing
  • If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: One does not need life to be fair to be or become successful. One simply needs life...appreciate where you are and make the necessary changes from there.
  • Something funny that happened while preaching: I mispronounced "breath" while reading a passage in church service [breast].
  • What I want on my tombstone: Don't waste time visiting. Like Jesus, I ain't here!
