My wife and I took a trip down to Providence this past Saturday. While down there, we were able to witness an event called "Water Fire." Basically, there were several fires ablaze in the river (around the Providence Place Mall) while music played in the background, some even live. Check out the video I took … Continue reading Water Fire in Providence
Sermon – 9th Commandment: Truth Worth Living
This past Sunday, August 30, as our Lead Minister, Tom Gerdts, was out of town on vacation. I was called to fill in on preaching. We are wrapping up our "Law & Order" series on the Ten Commandments, and I was given the ninth. The Scripture says that, "You shall not give false testimony against … Continue reading Sermon – 9th Commandment: Truth Worth Living
Thank You Steve! But our princess is in another castle.
If you are like me, you love Mario and especially the original Super Mario Bros, for the Nintendo Entertainment System. However, you will probably also remember how annoying it was to make your way past Bowser in the first castle and then realize the princess wasn't there. And it kept happening for several more castles. … Continue reading Thank You Steve! But our princess is in another castle.
Ministry Update 8-21-2009
It's been a while since I've updated everyone on the ministry here at RCC (both Student Ministry and my other "hats" I wear), so here you go. We're in the process of figuring out growth strategies right now at RCC.

My Flipnote Studio
No, I would not consider myself an artist, but this new [free] app for the Nintendo DSi is pretty cool. I'm more excited to see what others will create and post. If you want to check out my page, click here. My first flipnote video (and only, as of this posting) is called Goal! It's … Continue reading My Flipnote Studio
Roofing and Me
This past week, I went down to Whitman, MA, with a group of high school students and adults from RCC. We were a part of WorkCamp New England -- a service project (or mission trip) week where we served people in that community. We joined with 140-something others to paint, roof, build, and clean homes … Continue reading Roofing and Me
Flying with a Guitar
I've actually flown with my guitar(s) several times. The first was when I bought one while in Mexico. I didn't have a case for it, and so I slid it under the seat. Remarkably, it was still ok in the end. Since then, I've taken it in a case as a carry-on. Southwest is great … Continue reading Flying with a Guitar

Happy Independence Day everyone! I am reminded of all the individuals who have sacrificed so much for us to have the independence we have in the USA. Sure, we have some problems, but I am glad to live where I do. So many are not as blessed to have the freedoms we do in America. … Continue reading July 4, 2009

Ministry Update 5-29-2009
It's crazy to think that it has been 19 months since I moved out to New England to do youth ministry at RCC. When I think back over this past year and a half, I can't help but think of all the changes. Some changes have been for the good, while others haven't. For instance, … Continue reading Ministry Update 5-29-2009
