Joined February 2010
Ok, I am a dad of a Special Force team leader. My son is on his way home tonight from a 6 month deployment where he carried out highly dangerous operations. I am offended that Pelosi could not stand in honor of the dad just returning. He makes@it possible for her to play games.

In Destin Fla. to be with Jonathan tomorrow as he receives a Purple Heart from his last deployment. This is an award you never want your son to earn. Proud of his service to his country while others are protesting. They ought to be thankful people like him give them such a right.

Tomorrow I will celebrate pastoring North Metro, one of the great churches in America for 43 years. I love them dearly. I am grateful for their love and how they follow so well. It is my only church out of seminary. Blessed.

For those on the left, it would do well for you to have a son who is engaged in battle in Afghanistan to appreciate the action of the President. At least there are some who are willing to place their lives in harms way to give you the freedom to criticize.

Well we are having Christmas with Jonathan who just walked in the door about an hour ago. He just arrived back from Afghanistan and surprised his mom. We all stood up when he walked in unlike others earlier this week.

Praying for John MacArthur and other pastors in California. Religious Liberty at stake. What starts in California usually spreads across country. COVID is serious. Religious Liberty more serious.

Got there in time to spend the last few moments with my mom here on earth. Was there by her side as she stepped into eternity. 90 years she was blessed here on earth and now she is in eternity with her Jesus. Oh yes, and my dad.

Pastored my church for 43 years. Sacrificed to give to the CP of the SBC for missions around the world. (For years we gave 13% of undesignated money to CP over $11 Million) Entity head spending $60,000 on Christmas decorations, $11,000 on Expresso machine? WOW? No Perspective.

Enjoyed today. Completed 38 years as Pastor of North Metro Baptist Church. Every person who came through the receiving line had a story. I realized what impact 38 year has on a church family. So blessed is this Pastor. It is called doing life together. What a life it has been.

Our son Jon, a Special Force Commander, surprised us last night coming home a few days early from his 6-month deployment to be home for Easter. It is always great when he is back in the USA. Everyone in family knew but me and his mom he and Orie were coming. Big surprise.

At 9:20am the Thanksgiving Parade decided to become activist. Shocked at Macy’s. It has been a family tradition to watch the parade on Thanksgiving. When you have to change channels because of kids in the room. Christians need to stop apologizing for standing for righteousness.

Have you notice There’s a lot of peer pressure in Congress. Can’t they think on their own? Do you always have to look to the right then to the left to see if others will approve of you. Be a person of conviction, not a person who follows the crowd.

Why would I choose NOBTS for Seminary? Simple, Jamie Dew is a breath of fresh air in Theological Education. He is humble, doesn’t strut, has the right emphasis (towel and basin) servant leadership and desires NOBTS to be the seminary for ALL Southern Baptist Students.

Humbled to be in Kansas to be a part of Jonathan receiving the rank of Major. His wife Orie and I were privileged to place his new rank on his dress blues. On his dress blues you will find 2 Bronze Stars, Purple Heart plus many other commendations. He was spoken of highly. Proud!

Added to having Jonathan home, 20 minutes later Kristen and her family walks in the door from N.C. then 20 minutes later Stephen and his family walk in. I am thankful my kids are close. There is nothing they wouldn’t do for each other. Great surprise for Mary, birthday tomorrow.

In my opinion, I believe Lenny Gregory ought to be selected as Coach of the Year in Georgia High School Football. He is a tremendous Coach. Plus he went 15-0. Plus all three teams at Collins Hill went undefeated. Plus we are State Champs. He is building a culture of winning.

After a week of watching Twitter, I am concerned about the lack of love, statesmanship and respect for each other. Whatever happened to you can disagree without being disagreeable? Does all the above go away just because you have a Twitter account? Just a thought for all of us.

Do you want to know the joy of being a pastor of the same church for 38 years? Tonight a young adult couple asked me to go with them to pick out their engagement ring. Then I went to the hospital to visit one of our 80 yr old members to pray with him. No greater joy.

Again, I am very CONCERNED about our nation and the way it is trending. It has nothing to do with who sits in the White House. It has everything to do with how we are opening our lives up to ideologies that will lead to our demise and to the point of no return. Praying 4 revival.

It is 3am and I am praying for my church and all churches in America. It is time for the church to re-gather. Do it wisely but we need to be together. Educators are concerned what this is doing educationally to our kids and I am concerned what it is doing to them spiritually.

Just watched WWE Legends. It featured a friend - Lex Luger. What a strong witness for Jesus. His life has been radically changed by our Lord. In this documentary he made sure people knew it was about Jesus not about him. Man, God has blessed him. Proud of Lex.

Praying tonight for the family of Sgt. Mike Goble. Last week they learned the brevity of life. He paid the ultimate price for our freedom that so many take for granted. He was a hero. So many claim to be, but never put their life on the line. He did and he is . a hero!.

The greatest need in the SBC is a move of God. We need Godly Leaders who lead us to revival. We need people in our churches who thirst for God. (Ps.42:1-2) We need to be broken and empty of self so God can fill us.

Hey Clint.Why don’t you pray about allowing your name to be nominated for President of the SBC after Bart. Best argument for being a Southern Baptist I have heard in a long time. Just saying! Maybe we need someone who is not mad about being a Southern Baptist. Thank you.

As a parent what do you do when you pulled your kids out of church for every event and when they are older they do not desire a relationship with God? Do not take away from them what you can’t give back to them. Eternity is forever. Just a thought.

Some little men fill some big positions. Over the years, I have come to the believe there are many Pastors serving in obscure places who will have huge rewards awaiting them when they arrive in glory. I have preached for many of them. They are my heroes. Press on.
