MY PERSONAL PAGE

Hello.  My name is Derrick Holland, and I hope this web site has been a blessing and a help to you.  I wanted to create this personal page, to tell you a little about myself, and the things in life that I enjoy.

First of all, above all else, I am a Christian.  I was saved at the age of 15 years, and I am now 39.  Though there have been many hard times, I have never regretted serving God.  My family and I are members of a wonderful Independent Baptist Church in western NC, and we praise God for how He is working in our church.   We preach the King James Bible as the infallible and inerrant Word of the living God.

I live in beautiful western North Carolina, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  God has truly blessed our area with the most wonderful scenery to be found anywhere. 

Some of my hobbies are camping, gardening, and travel.....I love the Great Smoky Mountains, and think it is one of the most beautiful places on earth.  We also take a yearly vacation to the west coast of Florida each summer. 

My all-time favorite TV show is the Andy Griffith Show.

Sports-  I love most sports......especially baseball, basketball, and football.  I enjoy watching my boys play baseball.  My favorite baseball team is the Atlanta Braves.

My personal page would not be complete without mentioning  that I am a HUGE fan of Tennessee Volunteers football.  GO BIG ORANGE!!!!

AND N.C. State Wolfpack basketball.  GO PACK!!!!
