When I was in college I read an article about worship by Ron Giese. When I finished the article I said to myself, “I need to know this man”. His approach and ideas were elaborations on thoughts I had been wrestling with for the previous year. I wasn’t headed for seminary and had no specific [...]

She Who Sees – Jennifer Clifton
Posted in Things I Like on August 9, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Jennifer’s charm and character made her an unlikely match for me, nevertheless, as children we befriended, later dated and eventually married. I have known Jennifer for approximately the same amount of time that I have been able to tie my shoes yet she is new to me every day. She has that rare magic that [...]
He Who Sees – Dannie Williams

Dannie was the pastor of the church that God used to brand Gospel onto my heart. I respected him from a distance as I attended the church but didn’t really get to know him until the unfortunate circumstances mentioned in the previous post.
Bro. Dannie (as I affectionately refer to him) visited me a few days [...]
He Who Sees Shall Remain Nameless

The fourth in this roll of hometown inspirations is a songster we’ll call James. Were not calling him James because it’s his name but to avoid prolonging his embarrassment. James was the first Christian I had ever met that I respected musically. He was an outstanding guitarist, vocalist and stage performer. I remember going to [...]

Hovey is a small man, a drycleaner by trade. He is the manager at “Rip’s”, an excellent choice for getting your trousers pressed in North Florida. I begged Mr. Creech for a job when I was a boy and he gave one though I wasn’t really qualified. I watched him do his thing for more [...]
She Who Sees – Nancy Sapp

I met Mrs. Sapp five days after becoming a Christian. She was a teacher at the local Christian high school that I decided to attend after my conversion. I met this woman (who could easily have been mistaken for the fifth Golden Girl) in my first period class my freshman year. She challenged me academically [...]
He Who Sees – Mike Darois (Darwah)

Mike met my mom in a bar in 1984 after she had been injured at work and abandoned by my father. I was five at the time and my mom was handicap and raising my sister and I. Mike was an unlikely candidate to make any positive contribution to my life. He was a [...]

Jennifer and I are packing and driving to Florida today after church. We have to pass our children to their grandparents so that we can jump a plane to Bali for our adventure there. While we are gone a series of posts will publish each morning. Each post will honor one man or woman that [...]

I am sitting still on I-95 in DC traffic so it seems like a good time to get caught up on blogging.
The 3 on 3 tournament is full and accepting no more teams.
We are three days away from leaving for Indonesia. This will be the longest Jen and I will have ever spent [...]
