He knocked on our door late in the afternoon. His eyes struck me as sad, he was very thin and his teeth were in need of repair. I wondered why he stopped. For food? Money? Directions? Out of curiosity? Now here’s my confession. Sometimes when I see a person I have a tendency to put [...]

July in Virginia…hot…humid and a perfect day for a nice cold slice of watermelon. After church we stopped by the local Wal-Mart and Lucy thumped a few watermelons searching for just the right one. There it was….round….firm and melodious! We made our way home, got out our carving knife…all the while savoring a juicy slice [...]

For nearly ten years now, I thought we had traveled across America doing Biblical presentations. The other day Lucy informed me otherwise! “We don’t do presentations, Nick. We do first century testimonies.” “What’s the difference?” I asked. A presentation, she explained, is just a re-enactment but a testimony is a statement based on personal experience [...]

A Key. Some water. An interview and one very large cantaloupe! So what do they all have in common? It’s amazing to me that Lucyah and I can enter a new town, walk a country road and meet friends that were strangers five minutes ago! When they woke up this morning, they didn’t know us [...]

Not too long ago we had to replace our generator. It was a costly repair but a necessary one as the heat index (a combination of air temperature and humidity) has been a real challenge. We need the generator to power our air conditioning for the six days each week we are not at a [...]

We had an online introduction through our friend Pat in Kansas City…Kevin Basconi’s book is Dancing With Angels and he and his wife Kathy have encounters of the supernatural kind. Despite their many angelic sightings, they do not worship their heavenly visitors as many people do. They are very clear, they only worship Christ! They [...]

This past week has been more about people who blessed us than people we have blessed. Last Wednesday, we stopped to worship with the folks at Mt. Paran Baptist. Pastor Jay invited us to say a few words and after the service, a neighborly man by the name of Garnell took us over to his [...]

Wal-Mart moved and didn’t tell our GPS! We drove to Gaffney after walking on Saturday. We had told our friend Arnold of that we would come hear The Riverside Boys (Gospel Music …Southern Style…864-545-6734) on Sunday morning. We had overnight-ed at Wal-Mart so we only had to drive 11 miles in the morning and we [...]

He got a call from his daughter about a man on a mission so he made a sandwich, picked up two bottles of water, hopped in his pickup to hunt me down. Arnold Childers is a sweet, likeable man and it took us all of twenty seconds to strike up a friendship! I learned he [...]

She stopped. We chatted. Then Tan called her friend Lisa who was a photographer for the local TV station. Lisa came looking for us but we had stopped for lunch at a place Tan suggested. Now Sally is a columnist for lives in Hartwell, Georgia but writes for a South Carolina newspaper. She was going [...]
