Cory is a Southern Baptist communications director who also blogs and teaches others how to use electronic media in sharing the gospel. It was his site, Church Communications Pro, that got [...]
Beignets, cafe’ au lait and chocolate milk. Staples in New Orleans. They’re found mainly at the Cafe’ du Monde coffeeshop in the French Quarter, located along the banks of the Mississippi River.

For Dad: They’re ripe and ready for you
Posted in Photos on Aug 11th, 2007
Sliced tomatoes on white bread with a little mayo, salt & fresh ground pepper. Makes quite a sandwich. That’s what my Dad has enjoyed on his visits to my house when the backyard bounty was ripe as it is now. I called him at the hospital today, and Mom put the phone [...]

Since I mentioned I like to travel, I’ve had several people asking what are some of my favorite places. This is one. It’s the lower chapel of [...]

Their faces tell the story

Vacation Bible School had a great lift-off today. Can you tell that the kids were enjoying themselves, even while they were learning about scripture and prayer?

He went to the hospital on Monday after losing feeling on his left side and a strangeness to his speech. Mom was initially worried that it might be a light stroke, since the symptoms seemed to match up. But several days of testing turned up a growth in my Dad’s brain and further involvement of [...]

I brought my lunch to work today, taking a break at noon to explore the river in the church’s backyard. Olmsted church is perched at the intersection of the Rocky River (west branch) and Plum Creek. Descending the stairs into the Cleveland MetroPark along the river, I sat in the sun on the [...]
Day One
Posted in Olmsted Community Church, Photos on Jun 22nd, 2007

Lorain was the 100th station of the Underground Railroad which assisted runaway slaves with safe [...]
