An Event You Can’t Afford to Miss
Seeing many women desperate for hope and healing, Charlene Miller began to pray for an effective way to share more of Jesus with them. As her prayers poured forth, the Spirit began giving her a vision for a ministry that would offer local conferences to those women who might not want or be able to afford […]
Star Wars and Mary Poppins?
(Email viewers click here for video.) I remember seeing Mary Poppins when it first hit the big screen. Greasy fingers found the bottom of a red-striped popcorn box with no help from my brain. My gaze never left the dancing chimneysweeps, the laughing man, nor the woman floating through the air clutching an umbrella. Live […]
Thanks, Tom
Thanksgiving, my favorite holiday, lies just beneath October’s calendar page. Before we flip the page to November, I’ve decided to get a head start in introducing you to some people outside my family who have gone on to Glory, but whose influence continues to live on in the hearts of many. These are just a […]
What I Learned From Homeschooling My Grandchildren
Today marks 58 days my daughter Jennifer has been in Baltimore with my three-year-old grandson Benjamin. (In case you’re new to Perfection Road, Benjamin was adopted from China and needed a highly invasive surgery to repair his bladder. The best doctor for the job was Dr. John Gearhart at Johns Hopkins Hospital. To say Dr. […]
Auburn, Grant, and DAR
Back in the 1978 Auburn University was on the quarter system. As the summer heat withered leaves to a crisp, fall quarter wasn’t the only thing about to bloom. I had been invited to an open house at the church’s Student Center where there was free food and a chance to meet some new people. […]

#4 Take My Pride … Please!
(Email viewers click here first.) We began this mini-study by identifying a few weaknesses of today’s American churches. But trust me, we will end on some of her greatest strengths in lesson 6. Please don’t be discouraged. There is much to get excited about! Believers in the Old Testament may not have worshipped the same […]
Do You Need Some Assurance?
Your response to last week’s blog opened my eyes to something we all seem to be craving. Blessed assurance. If ever we needed to hear, “It’s going to be okay”, it’s now. Remember that old Fannie Crosby hymn? “Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine. Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of […]
Does the Holy Spirit Raise Your Eyebrows?
They came timid and fearful, but left confidently empowered year after year. Who were they, you ask? How did they achieve such confidence? Year after year, a brand new crop of fifth graders would make their way from elementary school to middle school with great fear and trembling. They were big kids now – and […]
Thank You
What was it about children that Jesus thought we should imitate? They run around with dirty faces without a care, cry unashamedly when they are sad, erupt with laughter by the smallest tickle, and expect someone else to take care of their snotty noses. But Jesus said, “Unless you change and become like little children, […]
How’s Your Becoming Coming Along?
In 1997 my Pa Pa graduated from this life to the forever Life he was meant for. While on this earth, he was a natural teacher and eventually became a high school principal. Later, he served as a rehabilitation counselor for students at Auburn University where he seized every opportunity to share his faith in […]
Lost
My grandfather’s name was Russell, but to his grandchildren he was Russy. Going to Sears with my grandfather rated in my book. He believed they had the best of all things mechanical because they guaranteed their tools for life. On one particular outing, as he scanned the shelves for some sort of gadget, my four-year-old […]

Transforming the Bag Lady
Thursday night, some friends and I enjoyed being with some ladies in a residential drug rehab facility. Their courage ALWAYS inspires me. Their battles with drugs, alcohol, and sexual addiction often make my struggles seem as small as David standing before Goliath. Their willingness to mightily fight against Satan’s schemes puts a stronger fight in […]
I Am Free!
So … if you read last week’s post, did you take time to pretend you were sitting across the table from someone held hostage by Satan – someone who knew absolutely nothing about Jesus? Did you formulate the exact words you would say to help them find freedom in Christ? Are these your own words […]
