I’LL FLY AWAY O GLORY…
Today we went to a funeral. It was a really great funeral, as funerals go. The woman who died was slightly older than I am. I met her shortly after we moved to Tyler from Miami, FL. Over time, her oldest daughter and my second daughter became very close. Often, my daughter was invited to… Read more

HOW IMPORTANT ARE RELATIONSHIPS?–PART II…
Photo by James Coleman on Unsplash (For Part I) There is only One Perfect Relationship The good thing about relationships is that they model, usually by contrast, the completeness that we will find in relationship with Christ. With any human relationship, we will be disappointed. At some point, the best human relationship will fall short, if we are honest with… Read more
