It has been an interesting tour thus far now that we are on our penultimate day. Sorry, that is a word I use when I could use a more common phrase and blend in, but it makes me think I’m smart, even though I’m talking to many who are way smarter than me. Regardless,...

Tonight, I laughed so hard I thought I was going to fall out of my chair.  It has been a long time since that happened. You get to know a group of kiddos for a couple of weeks and your main interactions with them are through the work of tour. This means a kind of...

Some of you may know that in another life I spent 22 years in the Army. I know, I don’t look that old. For most of that time I was in Army Recruiting, and in recruiting, we have something called the magic GOV. A GOV is a “Government Owned Vehicle”. The reason it was...

We ended up going to Macon, GA by a complete accident. Bemo had one more stop left to book for tour, and he enlisted me to help him reach out to churches in the Tallahassee area.  He took the Georgia side, and I took the Florida side.  Bemo ended up finding some...

Waves are funny things. They are one of the most visible representations of energy transformation that we have in nature. What winds up as novelties in which our teenagers splash and try to ride boogie boards on started as the deepest and most powerful exertions our...

Real quick before I get started, you still have the opportunity to help the Salvation Army in Bowling Green, KY.  Just go to www.ngsingers.com click donate now and put Salvation Army AC in the reason.   Maybe I’m a bit of a sadist. I think it’s more that I’m just...

“I hope this letter finds you strong in the faith. I also hope that circumstances will soon make it possible for me to meet each of you, not as an integrationist or a civil-rights leader but as a fellow clergyman and a Christian brother. Let us all hope that the dark...
