About Me

My photo
Hello, im Tony and I'm absolutely ecstatic that you would take time to visit my Journey through life as I strive to bring honor to God. Let me be very honest, I am definitely not a perfect man or Christian! I've made many, many mistakes and will probably continue to make mistake, but I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus! I'm a PK (Preacher's Kid) and eventually became a minister myself in 1996. I can't believe it's been that long! I love music! I play several instruments (haven't mastered any...ha!) and sing. I absolutely love Football! Favorite College team: LSU Favorite NFL: Dallas Cowboys! (True Blue all the way Thru!) I love the country...It's how I was raised, so I like to fish, hunt, shoot, mud ride, camping, etc. I guess that's all there is to know about me! I love to meet new people, so feel free to hit me up. God Bless!

Dig In!

They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.” (Jeremiah 17:8 NIV)


When we decide to be rooted in the Love of God, we don't have to rely on temporary rain clouds to come and hide the scorching sun and hope that it brings forth rain to refresh us, just to get us by; Because our roots are tapped into God's life-giving source that sustains us through the good seasons and the bad seasons of life.
That's why we can still find fruit from those who have been through the toughest times of life.
His promise, to never leave us or forsake us becomes reality, especially when we find ourselves in the most barren places in life, God will allow you to bear fruit, even in the driest times, so that His glory will be shown! Even to the ones that have been watching and waiting for you to fall flat on your face.
We can learn a lot from the picture above...you see, true life and stability for a tree, is found in the root system that is hidden from the view of others and like a tree, our strength and power comes from our hidden times with our creator!
So, my challenge to you is to dig in deep and to tap into His love and strength so that His glory will be shown through the fruit that you bear!
