Arrival and set up for a grand event.
Wow! The ozarks are absolutely beautiful! Felicia and I had a wonderful time in this church. We were a piece of history for them. The church will be 50 years old this year and I was the first evangelist they remember having. I joked with them that I come to their church once every 50 years. That means I’ll be 110 next time I go.

Sweetwater. TX is known as the town where the rattlesnake roundup is held every year. Well, I can tell you, we didn’t see a single rattle snake while we were in town! We did meet with some wonderful Christian brothers and sisters and had a great time together worshiping our Lord. Continue Reading…
Hereford, TX, the beef capital of the world. The town without a tooth ache (I’m not kidding). The feedlots where millions of cattle are fed each year, smells like money (or so I’m told). The home town of Ron Ely, who played Tarzan on TV when I was a child. I’ve been through Hereford many times over the years of our ministry, but this was my first visit as the Master’s storyteller. Kevin Bushart has been a friend of mine on facebook, but we’ve never worked together until now. What a delight to get to know him and his family. By the end of the week, we felt like we had known one another for years! Felicia and I were deeply blessed by our time here. Continue Reading…
It’s been over 34 years since I last ministered in Stratford, TX. As we rolled into town, Felicia and I were reminded again why we love NW TX so much. The people are among the friendliest in the world. We had a large work crew waiting when we arrived and they made quick work of the set up. We laughed and shared like old friends. Many of the adults had been to Ceta Canyon One Way elementary camp as children where I’ve been the storyteller for 35 years. Continue Reading…
This was a return visit to Palestine FUMC with Rev. Bruce Hay. What a great week! I’ve worked with Rev. Bruce Hay three different times now and have found him to be a true brother in the Lord. He has built strong churches wherever he’s gone. The congregation in Palestine is hitting on all cylinders. Continue Reading…
We love Mississippi! What a wonderful place to spend Holy Week. Rev. Billy Ray Stonetreet was a delight to work with. Palm Sunday was amazing. The children were all in their Easter best and sang a beautiful song with the Choir.
Check out the hands in the pockets and the khakis.
Beautiful children. Continue Reading…
Stained glass window in the entry of the church. So beautiful!
I’ve lost count of the number of times David Rucker has invited us to come and minister in one of the churches he has pastored. As a matter of fact, he was in Bridgeport over 25 years ago when I visited this community for the first time. Felicia and I had such a great time with the people here.
Aspermont, TX, is a small community north of Abilene, way out in the middle of nowhere, with some of the best people you will ever meet. Farmers, ranchers, and educators come together in this church with a spirit of love that is contagious. Rev. Jeff Sedberry is a rancher/preacher. He can ride a horse, drive a F-350, gut a deer, and preach God’s Word. His place is just a few miles out of town and the welcome sign is out. I so enjoyed spending time with him and his family.
