He Came for the Rest of Us
A new Christmas book of 20 readings for devotionals and poems which can be used as worship readings, personal devotionals, and even sermons.

Putting the old site down
This has been my work for about 2 hours tonight. Getting ready to shut down an old blog. tullos.org. Lots of memories and thoughts about life so far. When I reflected on how life was back about ten years ago I am reminded about how constantly I was weary as a Dad, Pastor, Editor, commuter,…
