As many of you know, I wrote a short little book called “How to Find God’s Will.” The Amarillo Globe News was gracious enough to publish an article about my book today (http://amarillo.com/lifestyle/faith/2015-05-15/whats-your-purpose-life Thanks, Eboni – @E_NiColeG). I’ve already received messages from friends–who didn’t know I had written a book (I’m a book marketing failure)–asking for a copy. Yes, the book is available on Amazon (hard copy or Kindle) and iTunes.  Read more... (214 words, 1 image, estimated 51 secs reading time)

I know that the entire internet has been thinking, “I wonder how the Wood family trip to College Station went…” Good news, Internet. Here’s a summary. Oh, and I’ll apologize ahead of time. I’m just going to quickly throw this blog (and probably all future blogs) up here. There will likely be some typos-hopefully nothing as atrocious as using “there” when I should use “their”.
