"Seven"


My Little Girl seven years old.
I remember well the Sunday afternoon. Mandy stayed home from church trying to continue her doctor instructed bed rest. I was in a meeting at FBC Savannah, TN, and the phone rang. Mandy told me there had been an "event" I rushed home and we rushed to the hospital. It was not time, the delivery date was weeks away. Still the doc. told us that it was happening, and less than 50 min after we arrived at the hospital Abbey Nell Colley was born. One week later we came home with this four pound girl wearing doll clothes from toys'r us. I could hold her in the palm of my hand. Now she is seven and I can harldy hold her 65lbs. at all. She is a treasure to me. God's precious gift.

Ohio Mission Trip


Bryant and I.

The family inside the Ohio Horseshoe.

Abbey and I on the Ohio State field. Turns out that it is a little frowned upon to be on the field. Keep that in mind when you visit this great campus. They were very hospitable to us.
It was a bit of a challenge to keep Mandy from yelling ROLL TIDE at everybody. She gets a little crazy around every football stadium.
It was awesome sharing Jesus with my family. We knocked on doors together. We shared the love of Jesus together. It was awesome. Family ministry is where it is at. We must teach our children the Holy Scriptures from birth till eternity. It is a parents responsibility to be a teacher and a discipler not a buddy. Eternity is not a joke it is reality and it is quickly approaching.

Health Care (who are they caring for?)


I've been trying to stay informed about new health care proposal our "leaders" are working on. I cant believe everyone is so blind to the obvious train wreck that is fast approaching. I lived in the state of TN for over 8 years and the entire time I was there I heard constant news story about Tenn Care, the state run insurance program, it was never positive. There were people in neighboring states simply getting a PO box in TN and qualifying for TLC (Tenn Care). One gentlemen I knew took such advantage that the local hospital would not even see him so when he called the ambulance to pick him up he would be immediately transported 50 miles away to another hospital. Then he would ride home in the gov. sponsored bus. This is a baby version of what our government is proposing. They are making a Mount Everest of health care plans. And the hypocrisy of not wanting to be on the same plan is just hilarious. If you have not heard the senator from NY saying "no one is trying to revamp health care" you should find he clip and listen. Its a joke. Control is what is being sought. No where in the world does this type of system work well. I'm shocked by the scare tactics proposed by some leaders trying to get citizens to give up freedoms for the greater good or for our survival.

Check this article out I kind of resist getting something shoved down my throat.
