I believe that in my 10+ years of church ministry I have never had a week that is more historic. When I got to my present church I was informed two months after working there, “This church has never followed it’s pastor.” And I thought, “Yeah, thanks for this information. Could have used it four [...]

Are you willing to face reality?
I got to admit…I feel like I got hit with a ten foot pole today. And it hurts.
Without getting into specifics, I was informed of situations that are happening where reality is not what you see on the outside, in fact its NOTHING like you see on the outside. It’s what’s happening behind closed doors, [...]

Who’s your Influencer?
The Bible tells me, in 1 Corinthians 15:33 that “Bad company corrupts good character.” So I ask myself and you…are the people around us building our character…or destroying it?

People I love working with
I cant say that I have always been the perfect teammate. I remember many times where my actions and attitudes killed the team without the team even noticing it.

9/11 – Seven Years Later
I can still tell you where I was and what I was doing when I was watching the 9/11 attacks unfold. Seven years later I surfed channels to find that hardy any news was getting reported on the attacks. Apparently, it’s time for us to move on! Or is it?
We used to be so consumed [...]

Ready for this?
I am PUMPED. I dont know if a sermon series will ever mean more to me than this one coming up. Time will tell.
Karl informed me today that he has decided after reading, “In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day,” that he is going to be leading our church in a 6 [...]
