Today was our second day of the Orange Conference. It started off a bit slow, with a great breakfast at the hotel (biscuits & gravy, eggs, etc). When we finally got to the arena, I was completely at home again. I seriously love conferences, and I had not been to one in so long, I … Continue reading Orange Recap #2
Orange Recap #1
After flying out of Boston and landing in Atlanta today, I was a bit tired. However, I soon woke up during the long walk from one end of the airport to the other, just to get our rental cars.

Seeing Orange
Tomorrow, I will be heading off to Atlanta, GA, for the ORANGE CONFERENCE. This is a time for those of us in ministry to focus more on partnering with families. So often, in the church, we have compartmentalized our ministries. At the same time, we have tried to operate separately from the God-instituted family. The … Continue reading Seeing Orange
Modern Faith – When Listening is not Enough

Good Problems?
Recently, we at RCC have found ourselves having some "good problems." What? How can that happen? Isn't that an oxymoron? Well, let me explain. First of all, we have been getting closer to the 300-mark in church on Sunday morning. In fact, last week, we went over 300. The problem is that we are struggling … Continue reading Good Problems?

As you probably know from my last post, we took the youth group on our annual ski trip this past Saturday. Overall, it was a great trip.
