Colton Dixon Plays Shipwreck or Poop Deck

Colton Dixon has a new song called Build a Boat.  I liked it so much it inspired me to play a round of “Shipwreck or Poop Deck” with him. I know when he woke up this morning this was certainly NOT on his “to do” list but he is always a great sport. video I was happy that Colton even stuck around for a serious conversation about the story and meaning behind his new song… … Continue reading

Betty’s Airbrush T-shirt Song

Betty Rock went to Dollywood and brought back a souvenir that I am sure she will pass down to her children’s children.  It was an airbrush T-shirt of Dolly Parton’s Face and she could not be more excited!

Photo Op: That’s Embarrassing

Photo Op is where Wally makes us send him the last photo we took on our phones and tell him the story behind it. Which photo do you like the best?

We also talked seriously about how music can help us through some of our… … Continue reading

Pastor’s Wife Struggles with Doubt

Recently I got an email from a lady who asked two very big questions about God.  I too had these questions in the past so I wanted to let her know how I reconciled them with my faith: Hi Wally, I enjoy your thought provoking questions on FB.  I’m afraid to post my questions on my personal wall as I’m a pastor’s wife. I’ve been struggling with this quite a bit for a while. The… … Continue reading
