Some random thoughts…

…I am so tired, but I cannot get to sleep.  It’s 11:30 pm and I am EXHAUSTED…so I thought I’d think/write and see if that helps the sleep factor!
1.  Why is it that when you begin down a path you know is the right one, that opposition seems to find its way in front of [...]

The Mix

Wow…10 years ago…hard to believe it, but yeah, 10 years ago I remember getting home from college and everyone telling me of this new group that formed at church…the college/singles!  Whoo-hoo!  Being away from college I didnt know too much about it.  The only thing that I knew about it was that all my friends [...]

Cowboys proved…

..that talent alone will not guarantee success. You have to go out there and earn it.  Cowboys arent the only team that I think does it.  I believe the Yankees do it too!  The Knicks do it too!  And I am sure more ‘professional teams’ do it too.
So do leaders in ministry.  I have seen, [...]

Christmas week Review

This may not have been one of the most spectacular Christmas ever, but it was certainly good!  I have enjoyed this week.  It really feels like two weeks in one.  The first part of this week was spent prepping for our Christmas Eve service.  I’m only three days removed from it, but it already feels [...]

Christmas is HERE!!!

So pumped about this week.  I had an opportunity to help lead our Christmas Eve service and I thought it went great!  The band (including our organist/pianist), the singers, I just thought that everything was great!  We have two of our church families, that I truly have nothing but respect for, read the Christmas story [...]

Proud of our people…

Some time ago, we decided that for Christmas we’d adopt a few families for Christmas and make their Christmas…literally.  Total we adopted 7 families.  I have no clue who some of these people are, but they know us now.  Two weeks ago we bought trees and had our people decorate them during worship.  It was [...]

Shop-til-you-Drop!?!?

I still get a kick out of people this time of year.  All of them, searching, bargaining, even fighting to get the perfect gift.  I too am that way I guess.  But I like to wait…and I wait…and I wait…and did I mention that I like to wait until the last minute to get that [...]

To my Class

…you guys were awesome to hang around this semester.  I loved our time together and I love the fact that many of you are making investments (or will be soon) in God’s kingdom!  I am glad that we got to spend some time on our journeys together.  I hope and pray that God will continue [...]

A Team

Do you remember the A-Team?  I loved that show.  I remember that I could skip the first 40 minutes.  At minute 41, they would build something insane…beat the bad guys…then Hannibal would say, “I love it when a plan comes together!”
There is such value of being a part of a team.  I remember in high [...]

Glad I am not a coach…

Nothing really here…just a random thought and bit of useless Scott Mathews Trivia.  Did you know that when I was growing up that I wanted to be a coach?  I had dreams of winning championships and rising to fame and glory!  I gotta say, “Man, I am glad that I am not a coach!”  It’s [...]
