Craig Miller
My name is Craig Miller. I am the yoot pastor at Nettleton Baptist Church in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where I was born and raised. My wife Lindsay and I are currently expecting our first youngin'! We're very excited about that!
I am a graduate of Nettleton High School, Arkansas State University, and Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary. The greatest thing in my life is without a doubt my personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I also love spending time with my wife, family and friends.
I picked up a phrase several years ago that I try to live by: Don't waste fun! Here's a few things I consider to be great fun:
*Sports- I love watching my beloved Dallas Cowboys and St. Louis Cardinals play ball. I enjoy playing sports as well: church league softball, sand volleyball, touch football, and America's greatest backyard sport, wiffleball!
*Music-I like just about every type of music, but I'm especially fond of Marty Robbins cowboy songs, early Elvis tunes, old-school country, banjo-driven bluegrass and good contemporary Christian music. I also play several instruments.
*Reading-I love newspapers and magazines, but my favorite is books. And my favorite book is the Bible, God's holy and inspired Word.
Those are a few of my favorite things!
*Lindsay-Me and my wife get along great. Really the only problem we have in our relationship is that she thinks I'm nosy. At least that's what she writes in her diary.
*Dad-My dad is a great man. I inherited my sense of humor and rugged good looks from him.
*Mom-Mary Mother of Craig is the best mom ever. Period.
*Carla-My older sister has provided me with plenty of practical joke practice and sermon illustrations. I appreciate it.
*Mike-The Mikester is the smartest guy I've ever known, by a long way. He's also the founder of the Anti-Daincin' Movement. Needless to say, he's been a big influence on my life.
*Dave-I owe my brother-in-law so much; he got Carla out of the house. This alone atones for the fact that he's a stinkin' traitor to my Cards and Cowboys.
*Paul-My nephew and protege, the Mighty Paulster, is a constant source of pride for me. Of all my nephews and nieces, he's the only one who has always liked me.
*Amy-My favorite niece and I got off to a rocky start in our relationship, but lately she has come around and actually likes me. I think.
*Melody-My second favorite niece Melody has always seemed to have an aversion to me. I can't imagine why...
*Friends-In my favorite movie, "It's a Wonderful Life," Clarence the Angel wrote to Harry Bailey, "No man is a failure who has friends." I couldn't agree more. They say a friend is a present you give yourself. Well, over the years I've tried to give myself plenty of "presents." I'd hate to start listing the many people whom I consider friends, because I know I would leave out many. So I won't try. But I love my friends very much.
