Our four daughters sang on a television station in Kentucky last night. If you would like to watch the broadcast it as archived at www.wljc.com. Click on the Monday night May 12 link to watch the broadcast. Let me know what you think. The host speaks for about twelve minutes before she introduces the girls.
During the month of June they will return for their Kentucky Mountain Parkway Summer Tour. Their first stop will be at my Dad and Mom’s church in southern Ohio.

Before summer ends you might want to consider reading The Shaping of A Christian Home by Elizabeth Elliot. She writes beautifully of her family summer cottage in Franconia, Maine. She mentions, as I recall, that every family should have a place to get away together.
The summer of my fourteenth year Dad and Mom planned a wonderful family vacation that I will never forget. We loaded up our 1969 Chrysler and took a road trip. We tented through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and …

I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.

Draw me nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,

By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
O the pure delight of a single hour,
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel …

This morning I discovered a post on my Dad’s site about his mother and growing up. It is good writing and a fascinating story. I am working on a book based on the farm my grandparents bought in the fifties. I may call it Licking County Farm.

I borrowed this post from the TeamPyro… Read on and you will see why Spurgeon is still on my top shelf and always will be. One day I will add a set of The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit to my library. For now I have to settle for my digital version.
In reference to ministers, many church-members are indifferent as to the personal piety of the preacher; what they want is talent or cleverness. What the man preaches does not matter now; he must draw a crowd, or please the elite, and …

Last night one of our missionaries, P. V. Joseph, spoke at Evangel. He is a church-planter and educator in India. He invited me to speak to the graduation at his Bible School. There will be over a thousand people at the graduation. There will be an opportunity to train national pastors. I also have an invitation to visit Bangladesh and minister there. I’m thinking about running a marathon to raise a little air fare and taking one of my children with me to each of these places so our hearts …

(In 2005 I wrote this letter to my mother for Mother’s Day)
Thank you for all you have done for so many years for all of us and for Dad. You have put music in our lives every day. You have put bread on the table.
Above all, thank you for treasuring Christ since you were in the third grade every day. People search musty books and travel to remote places to sit at the feet of sages to discover evidence of God or form arguments for …
