It is hard to believe that the TN Valley's largest and longest running Christian Music Festival JFEST will be here in about 3 weeks.  We have been working on this years incredible event since the week after last year's JFEST. I am heading out to Camp Jordan right now to meet the producer of our first ever JFEST Fireworks Finale!  I ha...

As the Festival Director of JFEST the one thing I pray the hardest for (besides a multitude of salvations and decisions for Christ) is beautiful weather for our festival. Last week the National Cornbread Festival was really wet.  Because of the rain it greatly effected their crowd.  Peop...

Well, today is our son Trevor's 20th Birthday. Gone are his teen-age years.  That makes two of our three kids who are no longer teenagers and are 21 and 20. (One more to go-he's almost 17). Do I feel old?  Not really.  I thank God for each and every day of life on earth that He gives me.  I am so amu...

At least that's what it looked like as we were driving through Ringgold yesterday.  There was a yellow/green tint to the air-thank you tree pollen! We had a good weekend with Chipper going to his first prom.  He looked great in his brown tux that matched his date's dress perfectly.  When...

My son Trevor, a student at UofL (my alma mater), was able to get student tickets along with some of his friends and they got to see Saturdays and last nights games.  They...

Next week my buddy Brad (from the afternoon show), is going to fill in for me so I can sleep in and spend some time with my son Chipper who will be off on Spring Break. I hope to install a "butterfly garden" for my wife, repair and pressure wash our privacy fence, and do some various other yard work. I'm pr...

I never get sick!  EVER!  Until last week.  I think Satan was saving it all up for a really important time-and then "Blam" he nailed me. It was the week of Shareathon and the enemey decided to throw the flu at me.  Awful.  God managed to pull me through the shareathon and then forced me to rest up for a couple of days. I woke...

This weekend The Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey Circus is in town.  Amy and I are taking our youngest son Chipper and his "date" out to eat and then to the "Greatest Show on Earth" I have such fond memories of going to Freedom Hall in my hometown of Louisville and seeing the spectacle that has always been the Three Rings of the biggest circus in the world. UTC Ma...
