I saw the lines on my face and realized that i am no less than halfway home. the hard, brilliantly woven road continues. strewn with elation, wonder and tears. destination sure. sweet land that bears no night. arrival time unknown.
We are recording our first interview/workshop in the new studio. I’m excited for all that is ahead. Dr. Waylon Bailey (pictured) will be presenting some teaching from Deuteronomy. I should be sleeping but I’m still up…. The first test went well. Now for the grading and recording of grades. I tried in vain to help […]
Do not save me from the storm. Do not keep me safe and warm. Save me from my love of ease. Save me from my vanities. Save me from deceptive pride. And all that I, in shame, would hide. Save me from my foul ambition. My self-centered, duped condition. From all that speaks so well […]
Darlene is now on the road back to Tennessee. I’m about to go to bed. Looking forward to returning to work tomorrow to get ready for annual meeting. I’ll be going to FBC Ponchatoula, LA Saturday which will make for a long stretch without time off. But overall I feel like I’l going to be […]

We’ve got to get some rest and then head to Winfield for tomorrow’s worship. I have tomorrow night off. So relieved things are going well right […]

It seems to have progressed to his jawbone. Praying for a miracle. Darlene is coming in tomorrow night and I’m taking Friday of. We’ll spend the […]
If I have the words and appearance of an angelic messenger and have supernatural gifts, but neglect love, I am like a blaring, off- key trombone and clanging cymbals at 6:00 a.m. And if I have a gift for solutions and meanings, and though I have faith that could make stuck things move and […]
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, […]
Blessed are those that admit the truth. They know that they live in abject spiritual poverty outside the grace of God. Blessed are those who see God as Holy and mourn because they realize that they are never better than anyone because righteousness is found only through Christ. Abba Father will comfort them. Blessed is the person […]
