Marshall’s Blog

As I sit here writing a short blog, I am doing so in the dark. Now, there are some who would say that I’m already in the dark (ha), but literally the power is out! A sudden storm came through the area and a major portion of the city is without power - […]

After being in Namibia, Africa for about three weeks, we finally returned home (after about 35 hours of travel time).  I told my wife that I would “take her out to dinner” the evening we finally got back (since we were all dead tired) and asked her what she would like to eat after being […]

Although I wrote this a while back I thought it might be a nice addition to the blog since so often peopel feel that “evangelism” is being a “soul winner” instead of realizing that “evangelism” is working in harmony with the Holy Spirit to help bring a person one step closer to the Lord Jesus […]

We recently had an evangelist ask whether we could have a blog posting on evangelistic experiences.  We would LOVE for you to share some great stories with us.  Even tonight after a service I was able to talk to the young man at the front desk of the hotel we’re staying in and see whether […]

A couple of days ago I was doing some studying and felt like I couldn’t join the rest of the family.  They were outside enjoying the nice weather and truth be known, I wished I could have been with them but felt that I had to get some things accomplished.  I set in to study […]

I recently had the unpleasant experience of missing a flight.  I always, always, always (o.k., not this time) check in for my flight the night before - especially if I am on an extremely early flight.  This ensures that I am aware of any changes that have happened pertaining to my flight’s status.  However, this […]

Yep…it is finally up and running. I got the call Thursday afternoon that they were getting ready to “turn it on,” and a rush of exhilaration, coupled with anxiety, flooded my thoughts. I knew there were still some “issues” that need resolving but decided that we would probably be working out some bugs […]

That’s the thought that ran through my mind when my wonderful wife, Nancy, shared with me that a certain department store was having an incredible sale – 30% off an already 75% reduced price. Although it’s hard to believe that anyone would pass up bargains like that, those bargains could not even begin to […]

When I was just a kid (way back when), we packed up and moved from Dallas, Texas to a large family farm that we inherited. One of my first jobs (at the ripe age of 8 for .25 cents an hour) was to take pitch fork in hand and clean out some horse stalls […]
