Well, yesterday we made the trek to Fredericktown, OH for the annual Robinson family Thanksgiving. Karen’s cousins, aunt, and grandmother live here so it’s always a fun time. I’m hoping to spend some quality time with the kids this week(which means blogs will be short), catch up on some reading, quit Mountain Dew cold turkey, [...]

Me, Larry Bird, why Deb wouldn’t get on the elevator…
So, let’s recap…
Flew up to Wesleyan HQ Monday for a Tuesday meeting about Student Leadership Development. Meeting was all day Tuesday and it was Matt and Deb’s anniversary. They scored some great Pacer’s tickets and so we headed to Conseco fieldhouse for the game vs. the Hawks. So, we are on the 7TH ROW and [...]

If it were me…
Let me preface this by saying that these thoughts are my own and don’t reflect the views of Denton Wesleyan Church, any Wesleyan Church, Pendleton High School, Chichester United Wesleyan Church, Central First Wesleyan Church, Mull Meadow Farms, or anyone else I know. Let me also say that I am a youth pastor, not an [...]

Winter Weekend
Jakob, Aaron, and I went to Crave(formerly known as Winter Weekend) at SWU this past weekend. It was my first visit to the new Hobson Chapel and Fine Arts Building.

Veteran’s Day Service
Yesterday we had combined services to for a special Veterans Day service. Here are the highlights.
1. I would’ve gone crazy without a run sheet(easy to read order of service) and pro presenter. If your church can afford a Mac and the software then buy this program right now. The way it lets you put videos [...]

These couldn’t wait until Monday
Got these videos from other people. Two of the funniest I have ever seen.
1. Has Halloween become overcommercialized?
2. What if the Starbucks marketed like the church? One word-javalujah!

Commenting on one thing, reserving comment on another
It is sad to me to hear about the “unnamed sources” from the McCain campaign trashing Sarah Palin. Personally, I think unnamed sources are a joke. In the book “Game of Shadows”, the authors used unnamed sources who illegally leaked grand jury testimony involving baseball superstar Barry Bonds alleged steroid use. The authors were hailed [...]

A Great Day to be an American
Whether your candidate won or not yesterday, today is a day to think about the historical implications of what has taken place and why that makes our country a great place. Tomorrow I’ll start talking about some changes that I’d like to see, but today is a day to celebrate.
1. Our country is only 232 [...]
