First, of course, is my wife, Joyce. She has been the light of my life for 33 years now (31 as my wife). You can discover much more about her at Joyce’s myspace page. She is the pianist at our church (and many other things, too!) She is currently the favorite caretaker of our newest family member, GiGi the kitten. I had a Damascus Road experience a few weeks ago and went from being a cat-hater to a cat lover! I think Joyce has been secretly praying for this miracle for decades!

Then there is our daughter Jennifer. She is the worship leader at our church. You should hear her sing! What a voice. She became Mrs. Keith Hudson last October. Keith is a wonderful son-in-law. He is a credentialed minister with the Assemblies of God and is a warehousing and supply chain genius. He is truly an anointed man of prayer and power! He is a valuable ministry asset and serves in many positions in our church. I want him on my team full-time! Learn more about them at Jenn’s and Keith’s myspace page.

Our oldest son, David and his wife Missy were married on Valentine’s Day 2004. They reside in Washington, D.C. where David serves as the “digital pastor” at the National Community Church. The church meets at a theatre in Union Station. Check them out at www.theaterchurch.com. David is a gifted musician. He plays lead guitar (like no other!) and leads worship. Missy is also called to ministry. She is a beautiful and precious daughter-in-law and a gifted and godly young lady. She is an anointed altar worker and children’s minister. In fact, David and Missy met and eventually fell in love as Camp Counselors at the Alabama Assemblies of God Camp in Springville. Our family has many wonderful memories there!

Our youngest son, Jonathan, is completing college (My alma mater – Troy State University) next year. He is a great pilot. He earned his private pilot certificate at the age of 20! His first instructor called him the “best first hour pilot I have ever seen!” I agree. He is in the Alabama Air National Guard, currently serving as crew chief on the KC135 refueling tanker. When he isn’t flying, he pilots monorails at Disney. How many monorail drivers do you know? He is also an experienced lifeguard and an avid snowskier. Jonathan also plays guitar and is the most excellent bass guitarist and sometimes drummer and worship leader for our church. Check out Jonathan’s myspace page! Enjoy learning about my fabulous family!

I am a man most blessed! Stay tuned!
