How Are You Doing?

In most conversations, the statement above would be a routine question without the expectation of any specific response.  When we use here at Sugarloaf, it means something very important!  Once a quarter we ask each of you "How are you doing" as it relates to the commitments you made when you joined the church.  Each of us promised to Worship God, Grow our Lives, and Serve the World.  So...how are you doing with that?  Are you following through?  Are you getting and staying involved?  Are you participating in meaningful ways in the life of the church?

For the last two weeks I have preached on the three-fold priorities of this church - Worship, Grow, Serve.  This week I will be reminding all of us of the importance of  "serving" as followers of Christ.  Our service will conclude with an opportunity for us to make commitments in these areas.  You will be asked to review the many ministry and serving options available and then find those areas where you can make a difference.  

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECKY!!!!

Aside from another great day with my Sugarloaf family, Sunday was extra special as we celebrated Becky's Birthday!  We enjoyed lunch with Tucker, Kim and Landon, and Tim and Sara.  I have a wonderful family and am truly blessed to have each of them in my life.  We finished the day sharing dinner with some wonderful friends from the church who wanted to treat Becky and I to a celebration of her special day.

I love Becky with all my heart and think she gets more beautiful every year!  Forgive me for using my blog for personal sentiments, but I just want the world to know how much I love and appreciate this very special woman!


We were married on July 30th, 1977!  God has since blessed us with three great sons, three beautiful daughters in law and one grandson (with another on the way!)


There is only one thing about my wife that really bugs me and it was noticeably obvious this past weekend.  Having grown up in Alabama and gone to school there, she is a huge Auburn Fan!  She has really taken advantage of the opportunity to "rub it in" this week over Auburn's defeat of Georgia!  Oh well, I guess no one is perfect!


Love you, honey!
