I have often thought I do not deal with selfishness, and my heart has never been prideful. However, over the last several years, my mind has turned. Through several examples in Scripture and life, God seems to be telling me that there is a bit of selfishness in every one of us. Tonight at youth … Continue reading Selfishness at the Root
YM Resource – FamilyFriendlyVideoGames.com
Many of you know that one of my biggest hobbies is video games. In fact, I even blog for a site called WiiNintendo. This has taken me to places I never thought I would be, including the E3 Expo. Because I also am a student minister, I often think about how I can combine these … Continue reading YM Resource – FamilyFriendlyVideoGames.com
What are you reading?
Lately, I have realized that it has been a while since I have really dove into a book. I have started many books and usually read more than half of them, but it has been a while since I have read one cover to cover. The last book I actually finished was The Slow Fade. It was … Continue reading What are you reading?
Here Come the Colors
It is that time of year! The leaves are changing from green to their annual gold and red. I have been in New Hampshire for 3 years now, and I am still awestruck. What an awesome God, who has created this for us! For my friends, family, and other readers who do not live in … Continue reading Here Come the Colors
Sea Lions and Fish in Redondo Beach
A few weeks ago, Yvette and I had the pleasure of going to Redondo Beach, CA, for the Wii Games Summer 2010 national championship. While there, we were able to take a boat ride. Along the way, we got to see a large group of sea lions hanging out. Even further out, we were able … Continue reading Sea Lions and Fish in Redondo Beach

Back from Camp
This past week, I spent some time back at my home church-camp in IL. I was asked to be the missionary speaker, helping the kids know about ministry in New England. It was a great opportunity, and I really appreciated the chance to do it. I also taught a class on worship (explaining what it is … Continue reading Back from Camp
Orange Conference – Moving Forward
Almost 3 weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the Orange Conference. This was my first conference in several years, and I was very excited to attend. My experience, though, surpassed my expectations. I have already shared my notes from each day on my blog, but I wanted to share some ideas I have on how … Continue reading Orange Conference – Moving Forward
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
We got our car back!
Even though we have had it back for almost a week now, I forgot to tell all of you out there in internet land about it. So, the other guy's insurance paid for everything! And the body shop (Salem Ford) was great. The guy I talked with was very kind too. He even painted the … Continue reading We got our car back!
