The Pastor's Ponderings

A collection of ponderings full of wit and wisdom to inspire you, make you smile, and even laugh out loud. Sit down, relax, and take a moment to stroll down a sun-dappled roadway, climb the steps to an old country church, wade in a clear mountain stream, listen to the rushing water as it pours over river rocks, smell the fresh air after a rain, and soak in the beauty and grandeur of God's masterpiece found in the ever-changing panorama of the Great Smoky Mountains. You will enjoy a bit of history as well as introductions to some interesting folks who call this mountain paradise home. You won't want to miss the story of burning the palm fronds for Ash Wednesday-they sure smelled sweet, a bit like marijuana-and the "noises in the night" among many others, too funny for words. Each one, a feel-good story, intertwined with God's own Word.
