Frustrations & Excitement (2-25-08)

As the old saying goes, I’ve got bad news and good news.  I will say that the good far outweighs the bad, but I have the desire to share both. So, first with the “bad news,” as it were...  All of you know I just moved out here to NH this past October.  This is … Continue reading Frustrations & Excitement (2-25-08)

What to do in a time such as this? (2-18-08)

It’s so hard.  I mean, what can a person do?  We know that death can come like a thief in the night.  We do not know the day nor the hour in which we will be gone and no longer in this world.  But when that day happens, and when that death is a teenager, … Continue reading What to do in a time such as this?

She said YES! (2-12-08)

So, as many of you know, I went back to Lincoln, IL, last week for the purpose of speaking at Lincoln Christian College about what’s going on in the area of Youth Ministry out here in New England.  It ended up going very well.  I feel as if I bored the students to death and … Continue reading She said YES!

Physical vs. Spiritual (1-27-08)

So, with a name like “Physical vs. Spiritual,” you probably expect some deep blog about this world and heaven.  The truth is, I’m only talking about my current state after this weekend.  We took a group of 15 teenagers to Camp Berea in Hebron, NH, for a retreat called “Deep Freeze.” In short, I am … Continue reading Physical vs. Spiritual (1-27-08)

Thinking about the Future (1-19-08)

I just finished a staff retreat here at Restoration House with my fellow staff members from RCC.  I’ve got to tell you that my mind is so scattered.  I’m not sure what to think, do, say, etc.  In so many ways, I feel overwhelmed and inadequate.  I know that God will use me and that … Continue reading Thinking about the Future (1-19-08)

Apartments, Preaching, & Relationships (1-4-08)

So, that whole apartment thing...  Turns out that’s not going to happen for a while.  Apparently, I do not make enough money (hint hint... joking).  After looking at my budget again and being told by the apartment complex that my income to rent ratio is not high enough, I have decided to stay at RHM … Continue reading Apartments, Preaching, & Relationships (1-4-08)

Christmas in IL; New Year in NH (12-31-07)

So, I just got back a couple days ago from a trip back home.  It was great being with family and friends again, whom I haven’t seen since October.  Here are some highlights: Spending time with Yvette (my girlfriend), who actually flew back out to NH with me. Flying - I love flying! Hanging out … Continue reading Christmas in IL; New Year in NH (12-31-07)

December 2007 Already? (12-1-07)

I know, I know.  Most of you are probably thinking, “It’s about time he writes a new blog.”  Well, I have been quite busy with the ministry lately that I have put other things on hold -- like this blog.  Sorry for all you out there that actually look forward to new posts. So, as … Continue reading December 2007 Already? (12-1-07)

Finance Update (11-6-07)

Well, I’m still working on raising my financial support.  I haven’t gotten word yet on how many people have responded to my letters.  I believe I sent out somewhere in the neighborhood of 60 support letters.  I have only heard back from a few as of right now.  Please continue to pray that God will … Continue reading Finance Update (11-6-07)
