Water Fire in Providence

My wife and I took a trip down to Providence this past Saturday.  While down there, we were able to witness an event called "Water Fire."  Basically, there were several fires ablaze in the river (around the Providence Place Mall) while music played in the background, some even live.  Check out the video I took … Continue reading Water Fire in Providence

Sermon – 9th Commandment: Truth Worth Living

This past Sunday, August 30, as our Lead Minister, Tom Gerdts, was out of town on vacation.  I was called to fill in on preaching.  We are wrapping up our "Law & Order" series on the Ten Commandments, and I was given the ninth.  The Scripture says that, "You shall not give false testimony against … Continue reading Sermon – 9th Commandment: Truth Worth Living

Thank You Steve! But our princess is in another castle.

If you are like me, you love Mario and especially the original Super Mario Bros, for the Nintendo Entertainment System.  However, you will probably also remember how annoying it was to make your way past Bowser in the first castle and then realize the princess wasn't there.  And it kept happening for several more castles.  … Continue reading Thank You Steve! But our princess is in another castle.

Ministry Update 8-21-2009

It's been a while since I've updated everyone on the ministry here at RCC (both Student Ministry and my other "hats" I wear), so here you go. We're in the process of figuring out growth strategies right now at RCC.  Not only people growth, but building growth, as we seek to build our first building … Continue reading Ministry Update 8-21-2009

My Flipnote Studio

No, I would not consider myself an artist, but this new [free] app for the Nintendo DSi is pretty cool.  I'm more excited to see what others will create and post.  If you want to check out my page, click here.  My first flipnote video (and only, as of this posting) is called Goal!  It's … Continue reading My Flipnote Studio

Roofing and Me

This past week, I went down to Whitman, MA, with a group of high school students and adults from RCC.  We were a part of WorkCamp New England -- a service project (or mission trip) week where we served people in that community.  We joined with 140-something others to paint, roof, build, and clean homes … Continue reading Roofing and Me

Flying with a Guitar

I've actually flown with my guitar(s) several times.  The first was when I bought one while in Mexico. I didn't have a case for it, and so I slid it under the seat. Remarkably, it was still ok in the end. Since then, I've taken it in a case as a carry-on. Southwest is great … Continue reading Flying with a Guitar

Happy Independence Day everyone! I am reminded of all the individuals who have sacrificed so much for us to have the independence we have in the USA. Sure, we have some problems, but I am glad to live where I do. So many are not as blessed to have the freedoms we do in America. … Continue reading July 4, 2009

My New Scooter

Yvette just got a new job in Massachusetts, and she starts tomorrow.  Since Yvette will be taking the car, we were in need of another vehicle that I could drive back and forth to work.  We didn't have a ton of money to spend on a second car, so we decided to go in a … Continue reading My New Scooter

Give Me Your Eyes

The 40th Annual GMA "Dove Awards" were held last night to congratulate all the top singers and songwriters in Christian music.  I wish I had more than just basic cable so I could have watched it online.  Oh well.  If you were like me or just missed it, you can view the list of winners … Continue reading Give Me Your Eyes
