What a Decade!
Well, today marks the end of another year and a decade. I thought I would join all the other count downs, reflection blogs, and lists that comes with the passing of another year and offer some reflections on this past decade.

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays
The other day something shocking happened in my life, in which I walked away from the incident and felt like the worst Christ follower in the world. The event took place at the grocery store in which when I was walking away the cashier said, “Happy Holidays” to which I responded, “Happy Holidays to you as well.” It did not hit me until I got to my car that I forgot to say Merry Christmas.
What a Difference a Week Makes
I don’t want to go completely over the Tiger Woods drama, because I doubt there’s anything I could say that would be new. I remember at my Mom’s on Thanksgiving Day thinking that it was odd how much attention his fender bender was receiving. As more and more details leak out, it just gets worse and worse. But while I was listening to the radio recently, I heard the radio host talk about how shocking this is because Tiger always came off as a likeable, even-tempered, and smart guy. I don’t know what Tiger they’re talking about, because I watched him play golf. It doesn’t take a professional lip reader to see what he says on a bad shot. Or to see his glares at photographers. My first pastor saw him at the Master’s in 2002 and came away so concerned about Tiger that since he couldn’t get close to him, Bro. Ralph sent him a personal letter and a Bible to tell him about the change Jesus could make in his life.
Who was Lottie Moon?
I did not grow up Southern Baptist, I grew up attending a Methodist church. When I was fourteen years old I made the greatest decision of my life, I decided I was going to follow Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. In my early 20’s I left the Methodist church for a variety of reasons and began to search out what church to go to. I decided on Faith Baptist Church which was a Southern Baptist Church.
