GET TO KNOW BRIAN...
What are you reading
right now?
I am currently using My Utmost for His Highest as my
morning devotion.
I make it a point to read Men’s Health Magazine
each month.
I just finished reading Stewards of the Story by James
Earl Massey
I am currently reading Preaching for the Contemporary Service
by Joseph M. Webb.
I am also reading Diabetic Cooking for Dummies (I’m
a diabetic) What is
your favorite thing about Parkway Gardens United?
The thing that I like most
about PGU is that we always seem to be on the edge of something
new. Something is always cooking in the minds of the leaders
here as we work to reach people everywhere.
What do you do to refresh
your soul?
Spending time with my wife
is very refreshing for me, she is a great lady. I also like
to go into the church gym and shoot free throws
(I can probably hit about 10 in a row now). As ashamed as
I am to say it, I also like to play my PlayStation.
What websites do you
visit daily?
I like to peek at the
Presbyterian Church USA website, just to keep up with
what is going on in the larger church. I like to look at the
websites of other churches as well. I look at that website
of the Commercial
Appeal newspaper site to keep up with what is going on
in the community and the
NBA website to keep up with league.
What’s on you TV?
During the day my TV is on Headline
News or Fox News. As that day goes on it shifts to
Seinfeld and by the evening it usually resides
on either Law and Order or CSI.
