As we kick off Orange Blogger Week for September 2011, I'd like to address a simple question of "Why Orange?"

Ten Years Later: 9/11 Thoughts
It is hard to believe that it was just ten years ago yesterday when our country was hit by one of its biggest terrorist attacks. As with many others, I remember like it was just a couple years ago. I was sitting in my dorm room, and our head resident came and told us what … Continue reading Ten Years Later: 9/11 Thoughts
Surviving Our First “Hurricane”
As you know, Hurricane Irene was the recent scare that hit the east coast. In the end, this category-1 hurricane was downgraded into a powerful tropical storm. That did not stop it from tearing into part of the coast and making its way north to New England. My wife and I prepared as best as … Continue reading Surviving Our First “Hurricane”
Our First Minor League Baseball Game
On Monday night, Yvette and I were able to go to our first Minor League baseball game in Manchester. We saw Trenton Thunder take on the hometown New Hampshire Fisher Cats, a Double-A team with the Toronto Blue Jays. Unfortunately, they lost 4-3, but it was a fun time. They had activities going on throughout … Continue reading Our First Minor League Baseball Game
Gungor declares “The Earth is Yours”
Earlier this summer, I read that the David Crowder Band was calling it quits after this year. While that was bad news, I also read their last tour would include the band, Gungor. At that point, I had only heard a little bit of their music, but I did like it. Today, I used my … Continue reading Gungor declares “The Earth is Yours”
Social Media and the Church

Maybe it is because there seem to be so many social networks out there today. In fact, I believe I am … Continue reading Social Media and the Church
Early Thoughts on Google Plus
Many of you know that I'm pretty much a tech-geek. Not only do I enjoy video games, I've been interested in technology in general for as long as I can remember. Recently, the topic of social networking has been on my mind. On top of my personal presence, I've been wondering what type of presence … Continue reading Early Thoughts on Google Plus
Ministry Update: Busy Days Ahead
I apologize for not blogging much. In the past several weeks, I have been a bit overwhelmed. Between mission trip fundraising/planning, getting ready for camp, and all other student ministry stuff this summer, I have been quite busy. It doesn't stop, though. We are almost finished with Camp Create at RCC. After that, I will … Continue reading Ministry Update: Busy Days Ahead

Knowledge vs. Relationship – Looking for Balance in Ministry
Currently, we are in the middle of the TEN series at Youth Group. This past Sunday, I taught the high school group. As we read the third of the Ten Commandments, we discussed how much of the true meaning has been lost over time. Instead of only refraining from using God's name in vein (in … Continue reading Knowledge vs. Relationship – Looking for Balance in Ministry
