So, this past week or so has been crazy busy, but in the end, it was great! I will attempt to recap the past few days as to catch you all up with what’s been going on out here. One of the coolest parts was the fact that Yvette was out here for the majority … Continue reading He has Risen! (3-25-08)

Approaching Passion (3-13-08)
As Easter week approaches, my mind turns to Christ’s resurrection (as it should). However, I’m going to make it a goal this year to really focus on this a lot more. Why? Because I’ve come to realize that this momentous occasion is the crux of my faith. The fact that Christ was not just born … Continue reading Approaching Passion (3-13-08)
One Exciting Weekend (3-3-08)
So, I had quite the weekend. However, as it typically goes, there was bad news too. So, two really cool things happened, but unfortunately, one bad thing also happened. I’ll start with the bad. Billy (our worship minister at RCC) asked me to fill in for him this week, because he was filling in for … Continue reading One Exciting Weekend (3-3-08)
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? (2-18-08)
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! (2-12-08)
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)
