Friday Links Roundup: Back to Haleyville Edition
We are leaving this afternoon to go back to Alabama. Tonight, we are visiting with Leah’s parents, and then we are going tomorrow to Haleyville. I’ll be preaching in a series of Gospel Meetings beginning Sunday morning and continuing through Thursday night. For nearly 7 years, I worked with the 9th Avenue church of Christ in Haleyville as the youth minister. It is exciting to be going back to that good congregation for this meeting. We look forward to seeing so many familiar faces and renewing many friendships. Please pray that this meeting is an encouragement to that church. They have asked me to speak on the Christian home, and…

Book Reviews for Your List

If the Cornhuskers pull a major upset, they will earn a BCS bid and quite possibly open the door for TCU to play for a national title. Now THAT’S worth watching!!! On to the links for this week: 1. I often speak about the…

Friday Links Roundup: Many Limbs Edition
We are in Alabama today, helping Leah’s parents clean up their yard. Earlier this year, their “neck of the woods” was hit by some very strong storms that left a large number of limbs and branches down in their yard. We are helping them clean up their yard as much as we can in a couple of days. We are looking forward to getting back to Lebanon Road for worship on Sunday. We have to say “goodbye” to Chris LaFever this Sunday. He has served as our summer youth intern and has done a very good work. We know he will do well in his future, but we hate to see…
