My friend Russell went to heaven yesterday

Last evening around 8 pm, I listened to a voicemail from Violet Smith. She informed me that Russell-her only son-had passed away earlier in the day. My heart was cracked open as I realized that a man I have only known for a couple of years will no longer call, or accept my calls; will [...]

Jesus is NOT my co-pilot!

Ever see the bumper sticker that says, “God is my co-pilot”? I used to see it a lot more than I do now. But, the reason I bring this up is because for the last several months I have really been in a quandary as to my role versus God’s in the way my choices [...]

We lost an old friend today

Today didn’t start off very good for either of these two pretty girls. First, Obsidian decides to ignore the buzzing in her ear and the shock on her neck and go for a walk down Baptist Road. Then, Rhonda leaves her eggs half eaten on the counter to run down the road to find Obsidian [...]

Father of the bride

Wow! What a privilege to be able to give your daughter away in marriage to a special man who loves her with all his heart. Two Saturdays ago-the 21st of February-Meaghan Marie Miller became Meaghan Marie Lambert. She and John Lambert of Decatur, Alabama became husband and wife. John and Meaghan have dated each other [...]

Below the fold

Today we (as in everyone who calls New Creations home) hit the big time. Below the fold on the front page of the Carroll County times and first on Yahoo! Local for the surrounding zip codes. WOOHOO! Now the  idea of being and doing church takes on a whole new level of excitement and responsibility. [...]

Not-so-random acts of kindness

        My Mom, Phyllis Miller, asked me to write a letter for her that she could send to her friends. She is trying to multiply a hundred dollar gift into as much money as possible to help a poor family from Haiti. Since I haven’t written for almost two months, I am [...]

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift. 2 Cor.9:15

This time of year is my favorite for many reasons. I have so many memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas with family and friends. Growing up as a child in the 60′s and travelling to West Virginia and Kentucky, sometimes in snow and ice on two-lane roads before the advent of  interstates. Dim pictures in my [...]

Congratulations to President-elect Obama!

httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrXkBuWNx88 To those of you who know me, and my heart, you know I was not an Obama supporter. That being said, here is why I want to congratulate my next President. He ran the smartest campaign in my lifetime. I did not say I agreed with the way he ran the campaign- I said [...]

On a hill far away…

Sitting on the edge of a 200 foot dropoff while clinging to a cross made of seasoned and weathered aspen makes one glad that there is a God who sees and cares. He sees me perched on a rock 10,000 feet high in the Collegiate range of the Rockies, and He sees me sitting in [...]

Nine days later and a dollar shorter

  I was originally going to write this post on the 5th or 6th after returning from Colorado and Wild at Heart Boot Camp. Obviously, that plan was abandoned. Not that I didn’t want to write, or that I didn’t have something to say, but because life got in the way. Maybe a better way [...]
