My wife likes when I dress up. So do I. Mark Twain jokingly said, "Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence in society.” Funny, but true.

It’s been one year since our beloved papa Don Mardock left this world for the next. Don so loved people, but told me he wished he could have loved others better. Can’t we all honestly say that? Love is everything to God. He said how we love others will determine where we spend eternity. Since... Continue Reading →
I got teary eyed reading a text from my grandson Boone. He was responding to a recent blogpost of mine. “Papa, I’m really happy to see you still writing these.

My liberal friends are afraid the MAGA movement is destroying America. My conservative friends fear socialism is destroying America. I’ve got great news for you both.

My dear friend Andre and I are on the leadership team of Men of Integrity. He lovingly calls me his blue-eyed soul brother. His story is amazing! I share it with his permission. While in prison, Andre founded Men of Integrity and gave it that name because that’s who he desperately wanted to become. For... Continue Reading →
In 2024, my wife and I lost a huge sum of money. I hate losing, but sometimes losing can be a blessing. Through losing, God knows I can gain something much more valuable than what I lost. Jesus said to find your life you must lose it. He told people that to be His disciple... Continue Reading →
“But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings. And you will go free, leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.” Malachi 4:2.
