New England the Least Religious in the USA

Why am I here in New Hampshire?  Why have I moved far away from my family?  Why have I left old friends 2,000 miles away?  Why do I place my trust and faith in an "unseen" God?  Why do I continue to submit my life to Him and follow His calling to work in the … Continue reading New England the Least Religious in the USA

Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

I had a GREAT time this past weekend at the "Deep Freeze" retreat at Camp Berea with the students.  Expect more info soon.  Sunday morning, they showed this video of U2 singing the "classic" song "Head Shoulders Knees and Toes" with some special guests.  We all thought it was quite funny.  I found it on … Continue reading Head Shoulders Knees and Toes

I love Technology

Two nights ago, I was able to "participate" in my cousin's 4th birthday party via webcam.  It's crazy how far we have come in my 26 years of technology experience.  I can't even imagine what will happen in the next 26 years.  Sure, at times, it was more like Yvette and I were "flies on … Continue reading I love Technology

Almost Christmas 2008

(No, this is not my house.  I just found it online.) Well, I wanted to let you all know that I made it safely to IL.  I left a ton of snow to enter into ice and wind, but that's how it goes.  On Monday, I flew from Manchester to Indianapolis (via Baltimore).  My parents … Continue reading Almost Christmas 2008

Soccer Ball Kills Pigeon

I found this article last night, then I found this video on YouTube today.  It's not that great of quality, but it's still pretty funny!  I'm reminded of several years ago when Randy Johnson hit a bird while pitching.  Some freak accident! Aguirre hit the bird in the 2-1 victory against Tigre in a three-team … Continue reading Soccer Ball Kills Pigeon

Power Outage from Ice Storm

(Photo from Associated Press) Ever wonder what it was like for the early settlers of our country?  I'm sure when winter hit, they were freezing cold.  How do I know this?  Because a good chunk of New England is again without power.  After a bad ice storm last night that lasted until early this morning, … Continue reading Power Outage from Ice Storm

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

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.

God’s Wrath vs. Grace

The last couple days, during my Bible reading, I've been reading from Hosea and Psalms (among other books).  I've realized that many times in the Old Testament, people are asking for God's wrath to come down and strike their enemies.  It's interesting that we have a completely different outlook on this now.  I think this … Continue reading God’s Wrath vs. Grace

Vote and Pray 2008

I just wanted to remind everyone (18+ who live in the USA) to vote and pray today!  As I was standing in the booth today, before filling in my ballot, I was convicted to start praying.  I not only prayed once again for God to lead me in how to vote, but I also prayed … Continue reading Vote and Pray 2008
