Doesn’t it just make you want to throw up?! Admittedly, I do not throw up easily. I have, as they say, a cast-iron stomach. I do not spew or bring forth or ralph or upchuck easily (some of our kids’ favorite euphemisms). Our hesitancy to...
The Devil loves the way we do business. When the Devil starts to doubt his success or abilities, all he needs to do is open Twitter. Every negative emotion or thought seems to be expressed right there on a digital canvas. Things people would never...
I really should stop being surprised by God. I am a pastor after all…a professional Christian…as if there is such a thing. Today is the day to promise we will stop being surprised by God. (It's worth a shot.) We just finished a sermon series about...
Since Shoreline began, we have tried to serve our community. We worked with LAMP from the beginning to assist their mission of providing a hand-up instead of a hand-out. Their transitional housing program is a wonderful asset to Lowndes and surrounding counties. We continue to...
“Talent is a myth, Mary. There’s a dozen guys on the team with more talent in their little finger.” “Then how come you can beat them?” “I can endure more pain than anyone you’ve ever met. That’s why I can beat anyone I’ve ever met.” Talent...
Do you ever wonder about where you are going? Normally, we have GPS to direct us when we are driving or planning a trip. We can usually come up with a plan to get somewhere, but determining where we are headed is extremely important. The big...
Understanding the concept of scarcity is essential to economic theory and its application to daily life. While we are not all working on analyzing markets using supply and demand curves (some of you are saying, Amen!), the concept applies to life and our message this...
I know all of you were just as excited as I was for last Sunday. It was a big day. I recorded it so I could watch it later. No, I am not talking about church, even though Matt Mullis did a great job leading...
Hey Shoreline! I have been celebrating the Boston Red Sox World Series victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers right alongside my New England…dare I say, yankee…family members. The Red Sox had the most wins during the regular season, which, oddly enough, has not resulted in World Series...
The third Monday in April is Patriots’ Day, and it is a holiday in New England. It is a special day remembering the beginning of the Revolutionary War at Lexington and Concord. In Boston, the Red Sox play a baseball game in the middle of...
Who is the Greatest Of All Time…G.O.A.T?? This question gets asked very often in the world of American football. The five-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady gets a great deal of support in this argument. Some other names that enter the conversation are Joe...
Time is running out, and there really is not much we can do about that. The next ten days or so are going to fly by for some of us. How we handle the pace of the next several days is up to us. Almost two...
I am not the biggest NBA fan around. I will give the playoffs some time, but I don’t normally sit down and watch an entire professional basketball game. I do watch the highlights enough to know which teams are good, and I can appreciate extraordinary...
