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 [...]
A new blog for your enjoyment
I just ran across Craig Groschel and Bobby Gruenewald’s new blog; http://swerve.lifechurch.tv/ . Craig is the author of the free book I listed in a post a while back, Confessions of a Pastor.

Thanksgiving Day
IT’S THANKSGIVING!!!! Wow… it is so hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already here… It seems like it was only last week that I was out on the lake throwing my youth group kids around on the inner-tube (this is a joy few youth pastors get to experience) Though I have gone wake-boarding the weekend [...]

Think [...]
How Rich Are You?
Well, I was just looking at Bart’s blog The Older Brother and saw a post about knowing how rich we are. Now if we all get honest, there have been times when we just do not think what we have is good enough. Our salaries are not good enough, our cars are not good enough, [...]

Pastors: Get a Free Book!
I just ran across this promotion twice today. Get Craig Groeschel’s book "Confessions of a Pastor" for free from Mpbooks.com I heard about this through a magazine first but then saw it again on www.churchvideoideas.com (which by the way is a great church "techie" blog). One last note, they are only giving the book away to [...]
The Church Called To Action!!!
So, I went to a conference yesterday afternoon where I heard Ron Luce of Teenmania speak. He is traveling the U.S. telling church leaders about the state of our youth generation. Now, we all could probably agree that media has somewhat of an effect on our kids (Everyone could agree to this, if not go [...]
