Husband, father, pastor. Humbled by the grace He has extended!

After Dad read from Luke 2, and one of the great grands asked if everyone could share their thanks, we sang “Jesus Stepped In”. My folks have some health issues, and today was very special. 🙌🏻

Come and spend a few days next week in beautiful western North Carolina!

[Doug Raynes @dougraynes]

@AmericanRebble @matt_vanswol It’s a town and a state park. Both were destroyed nine months ago yesterday.

🚨#BREAKING: For the first time since Hurricane Helene hit Western North Carolina nearly 9 months ago...

...the iconic Chimney Rock State Park has officially reopened

I know this won't mean much to most, but to us in Western North Carolina... this means the world ❤️

@mlgarner09 Congratulations to both of you and your families!

Some men from our church enjoyed a fellowship breakfast at a sister church this morning with 265 brothers in Christ. Brother Tony Finney brought a tremendous message from Psalm 1.

[Doug Raynes @dougraynes]

We are so thankful for the solid Bible instruction on the Christian home from Brother James Jones last night. This is part of our monthly “Marriage Matters” series at Progress Baptist in Hendersonville, NC.

[Doug Raynes @dougraynes]

@TonyShirley1611 HONORED to be with you! Thank you and the church family for the invitation.

This was one of the last pictures I took with my daughter Natalie….just over a year ago and just a couple days before the last time I saw her in person. I can still feel this embrace every moment of every day.

I miss you

[Doug Raynes @dougraynes]

@matt_vanswol Please keep exposing this madness. We’re in Polk County, 45 minutes from Asheville. FEMA roamed around here in groups of 4-6 for three months. They all carried their iPads, made lots of notes, and contradicted each other with every visit.

[Doug Raynes @dougraynes]

You’re invited to come and spend a few days in Hendersonville, NC! Please pray for this meeting.
