If every person who reached the top of Mt. Everest viewed this blog, it would have taken 7 years to get … Continue reading A Stats Review of My Blog in 2012
People Come and People Go
Every year at Christmas, it seems that people struggle with emotional issues. My wife tells me that immediately following Christmas is even the highest rated time for suicides. Why is it that when things should be going well, as we gather with friends and family to celebrate, we often get hit with bad news? Sure, … Continue reading People Come and People Go
We are Obsessed with the End of the World
One of my best friends was in town last night, so we went out to eat and watched The Hobbit movie. Overall, the movie was great. I highly recommend it. Perhaps I will blog more about it at a later time. For now, I'd like to focus on the pre-movie trailers. Yep... As my friend, … Continue reading We are Obsessed with the End of the World

Twenty-Nine Part 2
The inevitable is about to happen. In just a couple days, I will say goodbye to my "twenties" as I move forward to the next decade of my life. Recently, I have somewhat joking about this birthday, calling it "29 Part 2" instead of its more common name. While this has been what most people … Continue reading Twenty-Nine Part 2
Building the Team
A couple weeks ago, I got a chance to chat with a college student, who was just hired as a part-time youth minister.

Before long, I found myself actually providing wisdom … Continue reading Building the Team
Presidential Election 2012
My wife and I were talking this morning about the election. We talked about a lot of things, but there are two ideas I would like to share as we move forward as a country. First, why are we still voting the same way and time as we always have? Maybe 7am-7pm on a Tuesday … Continue reading Presidential Election 2012
Soccer: What I Learned My First Day Back
Tonight, I joined my first soccer team since college. It has been a long time coming, and something I have always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity until now. It is an indoor co-ed league for anyone over 18. Our team is made up of 10 guys and 2 girls. We won our … Continue reading Soccer: What I Learned My First Day Back
Thesis Update – Oct. 8, 2012
Well, I just (finally) sent my newly rewritten thesis proposal off for approval. (No, the photo is not of my proposal.) I pray that it works out this time around, and that I am able to continue moving forward. It has been a LONG time coming, and I did not originally plan for it to … Continue reading Thesis Update – Oct. 8, 2012
Excited for the Future
This summer was packed full of speaking engagements, traveling, and many opportunities to talk with people from other churches. In fact, even though it was one of my busiest summers, it was one of the best for that very reason. I was able to hear God-stories from other places around New England. One thing that … Continue reading Excited for the Future
