2025/09/10

The plane trip began in Tuscaloosa, and stopped in Jackson, before it finally reached Dallas. Later in life, taking this hopscotch flight was as aggravating as a floater in my eye. But not when I was 21 years old. Not when I was headed to my first big job interview — and my very first airplane ride. I was meeting with a large paper company. Apparently, they liked our first meeting at the University of Alabama, so I was invited to fly out and meet some of the muckety mucks. The operative word ...

Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) expressed his continued approval of President Donald Trump’s effort to combat crime in Washington, D.C., and said he believed in using the Alabama National Guard if necessary if he is elected governor next year. “Washington, D.C., is the capital of the free world and is supposed to be a place where Americans can visit and feel safe,” Tuberville said in a conference call last week. “I want Alabamians to feel safe when they come to my office or visit the mo...

2025/09/10

It was Thursday, and as usual, I was busy working on weekend projects. My biggest project, of course, was my Sunday sermon. Most people don't understand the amount of hard work that goes into preparing a Sunday sermon. And I work hard. I was spending time researching some ideas on Google. I spend a lot of time on Google because it helps with my research. I'm able to find certain subjects very quickly. Until Thursday, I didn't realize how much time I spent on Google. It’s really a blessing in ...

2025/09/10

A college colleague told me about a tense Sunday morning when he was a part-time pastor. The deacon chairman confronted him before worship with a stern request (the Baptist deacon chairman is akin to a Master Sergeant in the U.S. Army). “We’re gonna’ wait until after the service, but we want to meet with you IMMEDIATELY when it’s done,” he scowled. It’s been some years since he told me this, and laughed about it then, but I forgot the punch line. I don’t know if he was terminated or live...
