Back in October 2011, I called one of my childhood heroes and dear friend, MEADOWLARK LEMON. He answered the cell in his rich, deep voice and said: “Brother Frank!” It’s a fact: “The Clown Prince of Basketball” always makes me laugh!! The Lord had laid him on my heart and I told him that [...]

Well, its here and will be over before you know it. Sunday, February 5, 2012 is SUPER BOWL XLVI. Yes, I love the game and equally enjoy (most of the commercials) during the “epic” show. From the classic “Mean Joe Greene” commercial by Coca-Cola in 1979, or a cameo of Sly Stallone in 1983, for [...]

First of all, today (January 20, 2011) is our son, Andrew Lincoln Shelton’s second birthday! Ruth and I, REJOICE in this because outside of salvation nothing in life is guaranteed.

The Houston Athletic Dormitory has a sign that reads: “I used to complain that I had no shoes until I met the man who had no feet.” Proper perspective is powerful (especially as we enter Thanksgiving). My friend, Joni Lamb (co-founder of DAYSTAR TV) told me that her interview with Nick Vujicic was her favorite [...]

The Bible notes: “We are in the world but not of it.” Over the years, I have seen some stuff. My dad recently sent me the above video clip of a Corvette stranded at sea. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? First, cars are not boats! Secondly, a brand-new $62,000 car has no business sailing. [...]

God has been too good to me. Someone said: ”Who you respect is who you attract.” I totally believe that! Lord knows, we have enough “haters” and I elected long ago that I’d rather die a helper than live a hater in this Game called Life. Since childhood, one of my heroes is MEADOWLARK LEMON. In case, you were [...]

The world is big. Actually, real big and the more I’m blessed to travel it does seem small. Since childhood, I was a dreamer. It has been said: Vision + Values = Victory! Helen Keller said: “What is tragic is not being born blind but being able to see yet have no vision.” When I [...]

In an age of Big buildings, Big budgets and Big bucks we must remember that in God’s economy bigger is NOT always better. If crowds alone were a gauge for God to view success than He would have “by passed” the woman at the well, the lonely leper looking for love while longing to be [...]

He is former Student Minister at First Baptist Church of Woodstock, GA and he stepped out “by faith” to speak to hundreds of thousands of people annually. The beauty about that transition is that Tony didn’t see all those open [...]

The “sweet spot” can mean many things to many people. For some, it may be a choice spot on the beach to drop your blanket for some fun in the sun. For others, it could be the bottom portion of your iced-tea filled with sugar and it really gets good towards the end. For sports [...]
