I Love to Tell the Stories of Appalachia
I am so excited for my newest book, entitled “I Love to Tell the Stories of Appalachia.” The rich history of my Appalachian family was fundamentally preserved through the gift of story telling from one generation to another. I can so vividly remember as a young boy of 6 or 7, sitting and listening to…

The Raise
I guess it was around 1975 when I got “the raise.” There was never confusion about Christmas in the Mullins/Mason group of families. In that holler in Rockcastle County, KY, Jesus was (and is) the reason for the Season. He was (and is) the center of the celebration and the focus of all events that…

Do you hear what I hear?
My wish for my kids would be that for just one Christmas they could experience what God blessed me with for a dozen-plus Christmases. I was the youngest in our family and was robbed of more of the years together than my siblings and cousins, but boy was I blessed. When you have 11 people…

A they shall remain nameless…
I am preparing the construct of a new book and was reading today about the two spies that Joshua sent in to explore the promised land, “especially Jericho.” Two men that we must assume were men of absolute integrity, incredible bravery, trustworthy to protect the entire nation of Israel and yet, nameless. Joshua 2. We…

A Day of Receiving
To the little girl that told me the story of Peter walking on the water toward Jesus, then wavering and sinking as his faith waned, only to be rescued by Jesus. Thank you. You were a blessing to my warm heart and tired legs. I don’t know why God compelled me to walk up to…

Have You Considered the Mighty Palm Tree
I’m sure like many of you, I watched as Hurricane Melissa tore through the Caribbean, leaving devastation in her path. As I scoured to watch and view whatever video and photo images that I could find, I was again struck by the force of these horrible storms and the ability of palm trees to survive…

Problem or Opportunity? Our choice.
“We are right at the cliff. And I’ve been warning about this for almost a month now, that we have enough money to get us through the end of October. But after that, the government has to reopen,” Rollins said Tuesday on.” Brooke Rollins, US Secretary of Agriculture Now is a chance for the Church…
