I was honored to speak at the Vigil for Life in downtown Lexington yesterday. It was freezing cold. Thanks to all of you who came, and/or prayed, and whose heart has been broken in any way by the shame that legalized abortion has brought upon our great nation for these past thirty-six years. Estimating conservatively, 50 million American [...]

What Is a Fresh Start?
Posted in Uncategorized on January 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
There’s a big banner in our sanctuary right now. It has the words “A Fresh Start” on it. Ironically (what are the odds?), it’s the same theme as we’re using for our message series this month. I like the banner. And I like the theme.
Here’s the problem. A banner and a sermon title don’t really [...]
Christmas Eve

Well, Christmas Eve was almost a week ago, yet the service at Hill-n-Dale was really wonderful. A huge thanks goes to all who organized, or who pitched in, and especially to all who led us in worship, Scripture and song.
I had the opportunity to share for a few minutes there, and in lieu of a sermon [...]
Bad, Bad Blogger

So yesterday a good friend of ours (Patricia, in Indiana) says, “Hey, when are you going to add something to your blog? Every time I go check it, it asks, ‘Can We Talk?’” Okay, so after a four-month break, I’m back.
And she’s right.
I’ll combine that penance with another area in which I need to repent [...]
Can We Talk Like Adults?

This week I read about a college debate coach in Kansas who was fired for throwing out vulgar words and obscene actions toward a female debate coach from a rival college, whose words were at least as inappropriate as his. It all took place at the end of a student debate match. I won’t burden [...]
you CAN handle the truth!

Over the last few months, as we narrowed down our adult discipleship/outreach minister search, and then called Ken McDaniel here, I’ve been increasingly excited about something that Ken is bringing to the table here at Hill-n-Dale…
The TRUTH!
Okay, well, actually, he’s just bringing us a thing called The Truth Project. Produced by Focus on the Family, this [...]

On Wednesday, September 3rd, we’ll have a kick-off cookout night for “The Vertical Challenge,” our new Wednesday evening ministry. No matter what age you are, there will be a Vertical Challenge group for you. Our goal is to challenge everyone in our vertical relationship with God the Father…by really studying His Word!
Here’s how it works: [...]
Big Answer to Big Question

It came right down to the wire on Ken and Katy’s first day of work. In an amazing turn of events, Katy Lines made it to the office (on foot) just minutes before Ken McDaniel, making Ken, officially, “the low man on the totem pole” here at Hill-n-Dale.
Ken had just returned from two weeks in [...]

It’s 7:30 in the morning on Monday, July 21st. Today we welcome not one but TWO new ministers for their first day of work.
Ken McDaniel joins us as our Adult Discipleship and Outreach Minister. He and his wife Cindy are Delaware natives who have lived most of their adult lives in Lexington. Ken comes to [...]
Unfolding

Okay, so I’ve never been much of a nature video guy, but I’ve now got on this blog two sped-up versions of amazing things that the Lord is doing in nature (this one, and a beach sunrise from a few weeks ago).
Ken and Gretchen Borror are Hill-n-Dale members, who invited us the [...]
