Letters from Roscoe (Page 6)
Did You Ever Wonder?
Did You Ever Wonder? It was another of those ‘Aha!’ moments. I’ve been reading a book called the Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. Strobel was an investigative journalist for a major newspaper at one time. When his wife accepts Jesus Christ as her Lord and savior he begins his own investigation and research looking at the evidence of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Anyway, as I was reading about the evidence supporting the resurrection of Christ…
Footprints in the Sand
Footprints in the Sand One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the LORD. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene he noticed two sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the LORD. When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of…
The Amalgam
The Amalgam I had a reader recently ask when I was going to share something from our trip to the Far East. Yes, I do have a reader. So don’t act so surprised. I actually have two if you include my wife … But back to the Far East, which by the way we traveled West to get to. The most astonishing thing was the difference in culture between us and the Japanese. I began to notice it before we even…
We Worship a Risen Savior!
We Worship a Risen Savior! Yesterday was Easter! The day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ! Like Brother Eddie said, ours is the only religion that worships a Living God. Try that on for size! I need to tell you about something that happened over the weekend. On Saturday, we received a phone call from a friend of ours. She said she had just gotten home from her church’s Easter service. I said “Wait a minute, today…
The Value of a Good Review
Howdy everyone, The first volume of the Letters from Roscoe is now available on Amazon in Kindle and Paper formats. You need to know that all profits from the sale of this book go directly back to the church. There are currently four or five paperback copies available in the Church Lobby. All you need to do is pick one up and leave $10 in the offering plate the next time it passes by. These books are first come first serve.…
Back in My Place!
Back in My Place! And I even got to make the eggs! Last night Cindy and I returned home from a twenty-six day trip to the Orient. To say I was glad to be home again is an understatement. I am so grateful. And I am so blessed! I couldn’t have felt more happy and secure in God’s love than when I awoke early this morning and attended the Men’s Breakfast at Church. It was so good to see the…
The Journey – Part I
The Journey On Sunday, we left Lenoir City on our way to the Orient. A place I never thought I would visit. In fact, based on my observations that they (Asians) have no concept of personal space I emphatically swore I never would make this trip. But here I am. I should know by now, there is no such thing as never. Our journey out of Knoxville to San Diego was uneventful, usually a good thing when traveling. Two things…
The Painting
Tomorrow we take flight and head to Japan. But today I am at my sister’s home in San Diego, CA. She has lived in this home for 30 years now. And in that time I have visited many times. Her home is beautiful. Like something you would see in a magazine. It struck me this morning that this home is her life’s painting. Over the years each room’s decorations have changed subtly, a minor touch here, a new painting there.…
It’s Movie Time!
It’s Movie Time! Cindy and I went and saw a movie the other night that Hobert had first told me about. Called ‘Is Genesis History?’ the movie scientifically dismantles today’s theories of evolution and replaces it with factual evidence pointing to the divine creation of the universe as we know it today. The great flood told of in the story of Noah actually happened! You can see the evidence of it today all around us. Just like in Galileo’s &…
Letters from Roscoe
Howdy everyone, I told Brother Eddie tonight that I had published Letters from Roscoe on Amazon.com and he very quickly (Good PR Man!) told everyone else that the book was available on Amazon.com if someone wanted a copy. What he didn’t say is that any profit that comes from this book will go to the Church. After all, God is really the author not me. Anyway, if you are interested in the book, it is available on Kindle for $3.99 at…
A Red Letter Day!
A Red Letter Day! Last Sunday I gave my testimony. To the Church. The whole Church. But Cindy missed it again. You see, this was the second time in my life that I had stood up and given my testimony for God. Both times she was somewhere else in the church at the time. This time she was in the Nursery. It began the moment I walked into the sanctuary yesterday morning. I sat down on the front pew and…
I Wanna Talk About Me
I Wanna Talk About Me Remember that Toby Keith song from fifteen or sixteen years ago? The one where he is telling his girlfriend that ‘ocassionally’ he’d like to talk about him. Cindy kind of had the same thought . . . The other night, Cindy and I were watching TV when she asked me if I had written any Letters from Roscoe lately. I told her, “No. I’m waiting on inspiration.” She quickly replied, “You know, they don’t…
