What does it mean to be a follower of Christ? I find myself asking this question more and more lately. I look at the world around me and I look at this thing we call the church and I find myself wanting… imagining that there has to be something better… something more… real, uncut, raw [...]
The God Experience
today’s make tomorrows
Every 4th of July my wife and I go spend the weekend at her dad’s houseboat. It has been something we have been doing for a few years and it makes for a great time for relaxing.
Now, the 4th of July weekend is one of the busiest times at the lake. I love to wake-board [...]
Rain
So we had a huge thunderstorm a few nights ago. I would have to say thunderstorms are one of my favorite things. I could sit and watch a thunderstorm for hours. The sound of rain falling on the roof, the claps of thunder that can be heard for miles, the flashes of lightning that design [...]
Everything
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. God is trying to teach me something… something about myself and something about other people. From what I’m getting so far is looks like it is all coming back to one thing… Value. I’m seeing it everywhere and in all kinds of people… people I know and [...]
Faith in us
So we’ve been talking about faith lately in Sunday School. What it looks like, how it works… how we put it into practice in an active and real-life situation.

Snow and Remembering

Now, where I live if we see a snow flake or even feel like one could form, [...]
Building Programs Before Ministry
Ok, so I’ve been thinking about this one for a while. My job gives me the opportunity to talk to many different churches and help them with their needs. Honestly, I really enjoy it. What I do not understand at times though is how many churches put building before ministry.
Now don’t get me wrong, I [...]
Start
So, I’ve decided to start this blog… well, let me be politically correct “I am finally starting this blog”. Yes, I’ve been planning on starting a personal blog for a year now and just have never got started. But today is the day, its been done, I’ve finally started. Whew! I gave procrastination a giant [...]

Greek Terminology and the Bible
I’ve been listening to a teaching series by Joe Mcgee lately. I learned something really interesting while listening to this series. He was talking about life and migrated over to talking about sin. In Greek terminology, sin was an old archery word. Every archer tried to hit the center of the bulls-eye on the target; [...]
