Call this a rant, call it being _______ , whatever. But it’s my blog…so it’s my thoughts!

Memorial Day 2009
Posted in Uncategorized on May 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Today is a day that we celebrate and remember men and women that have given their lives for freedom. It amazes me how many people have paid the ultimate cost for me to be able to live in a free nation, where I have the freedom to make my own choices and live my life [...]

I spend TOOOOOO much time on the computer!
So today, after a few minutes of checking THE SAME STUFF on the computer, I closed the computer and did what I should have done at the beginning of my day…READ MY BIBLE. I didn’t start with an idea of what to read, but I made my way [...]

Why is it that sometimes I get down about the student that got away? Last night I was leading a service for a kid I never met and was moved. Today, after a year of not hearing from one particular student, I received two messages (well same message twice) that showed me he knew two [...]

One of the things that I do in my free time is trying to develop as a leader. I’ve had a specific book on my table for a while now. “Comeback Churches” by Ed Stetzer. I’ve picked it up a number of times and put it down. Then tonight I just decided…skip Chapter 1 and [...]

Saturday, I spent time with my wife. We went shopping. We spend the majority of our time in her stores, but this time was pretty sweet. We went to a store called Anthropology.
