What’s your emergency?

December 23, 2009

Recently I met a new friend who has begun attending our church.  She is a 9-1-1 emergency operator.  When I discovered her occupation, I had to ask… “What’s the dumbest 9-1-1 call you have received?”  Sometimes there are events that take place in our lives which seem like emergencies at the moment (or maybe not) but don’t really warrant a 9-1-1 call.  Maybe you’ve heard about this woman (read more here) who called 9-1-1 because her husband would not eat his supper!

The reality is, there are some who are facing real-life emergencies relationally, emotionally, physically, maybe even spiritually.  If you’re facing an emergency, I’d love to encourage you and pray for you!

I am blessed to serve as Pastor of the West Bradenton Baptist Church in Bradenton, Florida, since June ’08.  Prior to this role, I served as Pastor to University Students (5 years) and as Pastor to Students (12 years).

I grew up in Bartlett, Tennessee, just outside of Memphis, TN.  The Lord moved powerfully in my life as a freshmen in college regarding an unyielding commitment to Jesus Christ.  I have never regretted that decision!  I graduated from Memphis State University with a B.A. in Communications and a minor in Sociology.  I received my Master of Divinity from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas.  I am currently praying about beginning my doctoral studies in expository preaching.

My wife, Nova, and I have been married since June ’93 and we have one daughter, a pug named Lulu, and a border collie/lab mix named Tootsie.
