Workcamp NE Recap (7-12-08)

So, I just got back from a week of WorkCamp in Brandon, VT.  This was the first time RCC has been to WorkCampNE, and we took 7 students and 4 adults to participate in a week of service projects.  The theme centered on putting ourselves third, behind God and others.  There was an ongoing idea … Continue reading Workcamp NE Recap (7-12-08)

Camp Create Wrap-Up (6-30-08)

As of last night, I am now a veteran of Camp Create.  For those of you who do not know, Rockingham Christian Church (the one I work for) puts on a summer arts camp for pre-school and elementary-age children every summer.  This is similar to a Vacation Bible School, but it focuses big time on … Continue reading Camp Create Wrap-Up (6-30-08)

It’s Wicked Hot! (6-10-08)

So, I finally found myself using the New England slang term “wicked” on Sunday as I was describing to Yvette how dreadfully hot it was here.  She was back in Illinois for a wedding.  And while she was dodging thunderstorms and floods, I was swimming in sweat.  Ok, maybe it wasn’t that bad, but it … Continue reading It’s Wicked Hot!

He has Risen! (3-25-08)

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!

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)

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)
