This was a good Christmas. I got to spend a good chunk of time with my family, which I do not get to do much of lately. I also got to see some old friends.

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

Gratitude from the Grateful
How does one show gratitude? I'm sure you can think of various ways. What pops in my head are the faces of the people who receive food from our food pantry every other week.

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

Wow... As I write this blog, I'm still amazed at how good God is. Yesterday was a great day for a minister. It was one of those days when I was reminded of why I do what I do. And God has a great way of reminding you when you most need it. It all … Continue reading Recap of November 9, 2008
Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith Concert
On October 29, 2008, I was blessed beyond measure. A couple in the church gave me their extra ticket for the Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith concert in Lowell, MA. Hands down, this may have been the best concert I've attended. It is at least in my top 5, and I attend a … Continue reading Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W. Smith Concert
