Finding My Voice

July 22, 2020August 31, 2020 ~ Buddy McElhannon ~ 1 Comment

I have a confession to make.  As a Christian, there were times when I could be arrogant and judgmental.  This critical spirit manifested itself especially as it regarded one’s prayer life. That was until 2011.  Up until then, I considered the best prayers to be those spontaneous, heartfelt expressions spoken from one’s heart.  No rote … Continue reading Finding My Voice

I heard the rumble and knew instinctively what was about to pull up beside us.

Happy July 4th everyone!  As America celebrates our annual salute to Independence, I cannot help but be mindful of the confusing state we find ourselves in 2020.  A pandemic that won’t go away, riots and anarchy that seem to be growing in intensity and frequency along with a Sahara Dust Plume shadowing our land has … Continue reading Freedom Matters – Part 2

Here it is July 4th, 2020 and we find ourselves in the midst of a perfect storm - a pandemic, an economic crisis, and a social crisis. Typically, our nation celebrates its independence with fireworks, cookouts, parades, and in nearby Atlanta, the famous Peachtree Road Race.  Yes, we Americans enjoy our holidays.
