Favorite Verse:

Philippians 3:10-11 (Amplified Bible) For my determined purpose is that I may know Him that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly, and that I may in that same way come to know the power out flowing from His resurrection which it exerts over believers, and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed in spirit into His likeness even to His death, in the hope that if possible I may attain to the spiritual and moral resurrection that lifts me out from among the dead even while in the body. |
Why:
|
Why not? Read it and then hide it in your heart. When I read it, I quickly realize that life is not about me, but about an abundant life in Christ. Besides, I want to get to know this Friend that sticks closer than a brother. After all, look what He’s done for you and me! |

My Grandfather, Manuel “Whitey” Lunsford. Incredible man of God who raised me as his own son. Dr. Bob Johnson, who was the Minister of Music where I attended church and he discipled me and challenged me by example to pursue music ministry. Dave Schroyer, an incredible and faithful friend from my teenage years to this very day. Alan Wolff, the very best guy friend in the entire whole wide world. If it wasn’t for him, I’m not certain where I would be right now. |
Hobbies & Activities:

I love traveling and going places with my wife. I thrill at watching my grandchildren do anything and everything. I get so excited watching my grandson, Jonah, play sports. I am a college basketball junkie, former basketball referee, and love sports and the competition of sports. I enjoy working in the yard with the flowers, trees, bushes. I like playing in the dirt. |
