It was a traumatic day in the life of my brother and me. We were moving—to Texas. For true Razorback fans it was like going from the Promised Land to Egypt. To add to the trauma, on the day that we packed the Ryder moving van, my brother and I witnessed our dad run over, [...]

Some of life’s greatest lessons are learned in moments of affliction. Those times are not easy to accept, nor are they easy to experience, but affliction happens; and how you navigate through them can be life-transforming or life-destroying.
One of the greatest kings who has ever ruled, David, wrote about his own experiences and what he [...]
First let me say “thanks” to all of you who have commented on the “Domino Effect” video. For those who have not seen what I am talking about, you can check it out at www.inglewoodbaptist.com and click on the “media” tab. Over the next several weeks, more videos with study guides will be available for [...]
Not long ago I shared with you about my oldest son, Kevin. But tonight I want to tell you about Kameron, or Kam-Dog as I call him. He wasn’t too fond of that nickname at first for some reason. Personally I think it has an edge to it . . .attitude . . .the kind [...]
After what seemed like a week of traveling, and feeling as though we should’ve been in Canada, we finally made it to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. All in all, it wasn’t a bad trip, but it was eventful. Within two hours, while in Colorado, we experienced sunshine and hot temperatures; rain; hail; tornadoes; and snow. I [...]

In the poetic work that Job pens, Eliphaz says of God, “As for me, I would seek God, and to God would commit my cause, who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number:he [...]
Sometimes I call him “K-Man.” At other times, “Smiley”–he’s got the best smile, which makes it hard when I’m getting on to him about something. He’s one of the coolest kids I know, and he just happens to be my oldest son. For those of you who know Kevin, you understand what I’m talking about; [...]
Although I was hoping to blog each day while in Zambia, it just wasn’t going to happen. Needless to say, it’s Africa. There was an “internet connection,” but it was like riding a slug when you’re use to a Ferrari. The first day I tried to load a page, it took 10 minutes . . [...]
So . . today the journey begins. As of now, I am sitting in terminal “D” at D/FW, wating to board the long flight to Zambia, Africa, via London. There are 14 of us who are traveling, many of whom have never walked on African soil. We are anticipating God to move in a way [...]
It’s never easy describing what you experience on a mission trip. There aren’t enough words in the English language, and even if there were I’m not sure that you could find the right ones that would accurately describe the experience. It’s like the apostle John trying to record what he saw when he wrote down [...]
