Writings
I have had the opportunity to write columns in the Knoxville News-Sentinel each month since April as one of their “community columnists.” This will end in March. Here are links to the columns that I have written in order of how much I like them.
1. An Apology: http://knoxnews.com/kns/perspectives/article/0,1406,KNS_2797_5575498,00.html. I received a great deal of feedback after this one and have made a few “e-mail friends” because of it. It explains a few of my thoughts on what true Christianity looks like.
2. Like Christ: http://knoxnews.com/news/2007/oct/07/like-christ/. This one was written in response to the hoopla surrounding Kathy Griffin’s anti-Christian remarks. There were some who disagreed with me and I enjoyed the correspondence with them.
3. More Than One Way: http://knoxnews.com/news/2007/may/13/more-than-one-way/. I like this one because it spoke about my family and my wonderful wife. Since this writing, Kristy has become pregnant. It is a big, good surprise.
4. Using Death to Really Live: http://knoxnews.com/news/2007/jul/08/using-death-to-really-live/. This contains part of my philosophy on how we can live our lives beyond ourselves, for a greater purpose.
5. A Porch Swing: http://knoxnews.com/news/2007/aug/12/a-porch-swing/. My grandmother was an amazing woman; this is a tribute to her.
6. Everybody’s Problem: http://knoxnews.com/news/2007/nov/04/everybodys-problem/. Homelessness is one of the blemishes on all of mankind. We all could be there whether we want to admit it, or not.
7. One Word: http://knoxnews.com/news/2007/dec/09/one-word/. This is about the hope that we have because of the birth of Jesus.
8. The Importance of Relationships: http://knoxnews.com/news/2008/jan/06/the-importance-of-relationships/. Cardiff Baptist Church will always hold a dear place in my heart. I will continue to pray for them as I am sure they are praying for me as I pastor Stoney Point.
9. Overcoming Our Flaws: http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2007/sep/09/overcoming-our-flaws/. This is one is kind of weird. It made me laugh.
10. The Other Story. I couldn’t find this one on the knoxnews.com website. It was about a bus wreck I was in back in 1991.
