It is difficult for me to believe, but September 2, 2011 marked my 32nd anniversary in the gospel ministry. In some ways, it seems like only yesterday that I was ordained, but in other ways, it seems like a lifetime ago.

Interestingly, in all of those years, I have served only two churches–Benevolence and Grace Christian Fellowship, with a 2 year tour at Mabel White, as Director of the Counseling center, from September of 1993-September of 1995.

Although there have been some “speed bumps” along the journey, I have loved the trip. There is no question in my mind that I have been enjoying the call God placed on my life. In my mind, I have been blessed and then some (to use the words of Peter Lord)!

I want to thank each of you for your love and support. As you know, in roughly 6 months, I will be 70 years old, so please pray that I will continue to have some degree of my senses left. I have asked a few of you to tell me when I go crazy, but we all know that when they do, I will think they are crazy. It just works that way!
