It’s Sunday, October 18th 2026 and the old Watchman is thinking about the past and the future and remembering yesteryears when he was but a lad and processing today: observing himself as an old man, seated on a recliner—focusing on the brevity of life.
The angels were thinking among themselves in Psalms 8 and asked of God a question: “What is Man that thou art mindful of him?”
Who is the Watchman? Many of you who have been reading my daily Watchman posts are asking yourself that question; so I will answer you tonight.
I was born in Arkansas in the South in 1955–about the same time a boy from Chicago , Emmitt Till, was killed in Mississippi because folk lied and said he was whistling at a white woman.
I experienced prejudice as a boy and I survived the hard labor of working on a 63 acre farm as the son of a sharecropper.
I grew—but prejudice and bitterness couldn’t touch me because I was taught the Word of God evenings, while sitting upon my father’s lap after he had worked all day…
I often weep for our youths today who don’t have a father or an identity to confirm their identity but those of you who know the Father of Jesus and has allowed Him to adopt you into the Royal Family of Heaven by the shed Blood of His Son—the Word He has given me for you tonight is:
“ALL IS WELL!!!”
But if you’re a fatherless sinner or a prodigal son or daughter—the old Watchman bid you tonight to return home to the Creator…
He’s waiting for you!!!
