Support for Utah/Idaho Southern Baptist Resolution on Abolishing Abortion
The following is a “mostly ready for print” resolution I intend to submit for consideration of the messengers of the Utah/Idaho Southern Baptist Convention on the subject of abolishing abortion.

The Other Side of the Window
In a rare moment, I brought my guitar into the public gathering last night (9/12/2021). The evening gathering was focused on some reflection from that providential September day in 2001 when the nation was asking questions and looking to God for an answer, at least for a few days.

Great Days with Lesser Things
“Cry loudly, do not hold back;Raise your voice like a trumpetAnd declare to My people their transgression…”Isaiah 58:1 (NASB) Like the prophets of old, the modern preacher must put “the trumpet” (Hosea 8:1) to his lips!
