The God Experience
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. It’s definitely been an interesting topic and we have had some good discussion on it. The kids have responded well and it seems like this topic [...]
Snow and Remembering
Well, I’ve been asking for it all year. There have been a few times that I thought we were about to get hit but they were only false alarms. But, now… it’s happening. The snow has finally come. Now, where I live if we see a snow flake or even feel like one could form, [...]
Greek Terminology and the Bible

Wal-Mart and Free Hugs
I’ve been sick since the beginning of the week. We have had a flu bug going around the town for a few weeks now and I happened to catch my share of it at the annual Super Bowl Party we have every year for the youth. So, none the less I have been feeling under [...]
God Still loves us even without a lint roller
I had one of those moments a few weeks back. You know… one of those moments that God decides he is going to teach you something and you are going to realize how little you really know or how little you remember. Yeah, it was one of those moments. My fiance’ has this cat, that [...]
Shoes
I wrote a blog entry a while back about finding God hidden stories this Christmas, you can read it here. I have been saving this story for a few weeks now. I wanted to give it to you all on Christmas. This is not my story but another persons story that I have claimed as [...]
The Stories of Christmas
I woke up this morning and was suddenly hit with the reality that November just passed under my nose… I was left wondering where it went. This made me start thinking about how fast Christmas went by last year. It seems that culture builds up to the idea of Christmas and before we know it, [...]
Time where did you go?
So it has been one of those days. One of those days where it seems like if you only 10 more hours in a day… you could at least put a crack in the wall of stuff to be done. My day has been, well not busy, just full and requiring. This day has required [...]
