New Home, Now with Power
So, I'm finally moved into my new house in Salem, NH. I'm so glad to be there. Not only that... I'm also excited that I now have power!

Parkour and Free-Running
Have you heard of this? I just did, and I can't even start to explain how crazy it is! I'd advise you to check out the video I found on YouTube (below). For a definition, I turned to Wikipedia. Here's what they had to say about this "art form." Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) … Continue reading Parkour and Free-Running
Recap of November 9, 2008
Wow... As I write this blog, I'm still amazed at how good God is. Yesterday was a great day for a minister. It was one of those days when I was reminded of why I do what I do. And God has a great way of reminding you when you most need it. It all … Continue reading Recap of November 9, 2008
What if Starbucks Marketed Like a Church?
This is a "modern-day parable" I found on YouTube. Of course, not all churches are like this (at least I hope not), but for those who are...please recognize the message you are sending.
