Merry Christmas!



Merry Christmas to all! What a great year our Lord gave to each of us in 2008.
While many are hurting economically I cannot remember a time when I have seen the New Prospect family do more for others than this Christmas season. So many have been blessed and helped. Thank you for being a giving people.

Renee Ashley and I want to wish each of you a Merry Christmas. Thanks for reading my blogs this year. Please continue to pray for me as I seek to lead our Church family into the New Year.

A Living Testimony on The Field and Off...


The college football regular season is over. As an Alabama fan, I have enjoyed this year. I am also a Tim Tebow fan. He had a great game in the SEC title game against the Tide. He was the difference in the fourth quarter. Now the Gators turn their attention to Oklahoma.
In the South we certainly know about Tim Tebow’s faith walk and some go as far as to say that it makes the difference for the Gators. I think being 6’3” and 230 lbs helps a lot! When Florida lines up against Oklahoma they will be looking at a record setting offense led by quarterback Sam Bradford. In the December 2008 Sharing the Victory FCA magazine, guess who was on the cover? It is Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford. There is a tear-out poster in the magazine that has Sam pictured and 1 Corinthians 16:13 printed on it. This young Christian athlete is certainly a leader in FCA at OU.
So the BCS game has a Christian quarterback on both sides of the line. Who will win? They both will be prayed up. It is going to be fun to watch.
I am thrilled to see athletes stand for Jesus on and off the field of competition. So many others are looking up to these young leaders. Kids everywhere wear jerseys with #14 or #15 on them. It would be a good thing for us to pray for these young men to have testimonies that exalt the Lord – win or lose.
