Life is good.  I’ve had one soda a week for 3 [...]

Summer Thoughts

It has now been more than half of my life since I was called into the ministry.  At the time, I had no idea where it would take me.  More than a third of my life has now been spent in full-time ministry.  This past week of camp (my 29th since accepting the call) was [...]

A Weird Week and the Road Ahead

Sorry for the posting delay.  Monday was quite a strange day for me.  My description of the day is only to tell you how some events affected me and hopefully, what happened to me won’t happen to anyone else.  I won’t be using names of the people involved because my goal isn’t to bring attention [...]

What we do on my day off

Since getting married and having kids I have been much better about taking a day off in every week.  Like so many people(pastors too!) I used to be really bad about taking a Sabbath.  Now, I look forward to Thursdays and the hilarity that ensues.  Here you go:

Thoughts for a Monday

Here’s a link to a video about a story I heard about this weekend.  Watch it here.  Was this an innocent mistake?  What would the cost be to redo all the yearbooks?  Who should pay for that?  How would the school make sure all the yearbooks were collected?  Am I the only one who was [...]

Love and Marriage

We had several couples renew their wedding vows yesterday at church.  One couple has been married 56 years and were not believers when they were first married.  The way they looked at each other during the ceremony was unforgettable.  With that in mind, here’s a video of a couple(married 62 years) putting on an impromptu [...]

5 weeks till go time

5 weeks from right now I will have just completed(or about to complete) my first half marathon.  The training has been slow, fun, frustrating, exhilirating, etc.  I am finding that legs that are designed to carry 150-160 lbs don’t function as well when they are carrying considerably more.  This has hampered the consistency and intensity [...]

The New Facebook

Several weeks ago I started twittering.  Just before that, Facebook changed their look which I didn’t like.  Now, after twittering for close to a month, I’ve grown to like it.  Since setting my Facebook status to coincide with my twitter updates, I have gotten 200% more comments.  So, I think that using the two together [...]
