It feels good to sweat. I'm sitting outdoors, post-workout, in 90 degree heat, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with the sole purpose of feeling myself sweat a bit more...<< MORE >>

Have you ever been a part of something good, but you find yourself hesitating? I mean a part of something good and Godly, and you know it's meant to happen, but you find yourself acting fearful; fearful of what you might do, and fearful of what God might do to you. That's how I feel when I get together with my friend, Chris...<< MORE >>

I was cruising through the quaint campus of Bethel College when I saw a bit of a humorous sight.  A faculty member who I recognized from Noon Hoops (our Monday, Wednesday, Friday staff basketball club) was walking alongside the street waving a white towel.  To provide a further visual, he wasn't waving it in a manner to get attention, but rather as an old country cook would shake a towel to shoo away pesky animals wanting a taste of newly baked creations.  Needless to say, I had to put Valerie (my truck) in park and take in the sight...<< MORE >>

I'm back and quasi-recovered from my trip to Nicaragua.  After a week of physical, emotional, and spiritual tests and trials, I still feel the need for a few extra days rest, but I also feel spiritually rejuvenated in a way that I haven't in quite some time.  The week was filled with highs and lows, but even now, the lows are becoming harder and harder to remember. 

Right now, I am in the midst of moving out of my office at Grace Church, but I have a drafted entry to post in the coming couple of days. 

Hang tight 'til the weekend!

In the coming days/week, you will have a recap of my trip to Jamaica, a summary of my trip to Nicaragua, and information about the job change, but today, I want to share with you a revelation that God granted me last night...<< MORE >>

Have you ever experienced a person speaking out of both sides of their mouth?  They tell you one thing, then lean over to someone else and say something completely different.  In my short time today, I want to tell you that's how I feel about the country of Jamaica right now. ...<< MORE >>

The big change for me is living somewhere other than Indian Lakes.  I've grown accustomed to how things are done, how situations are handled, and how the people around me interact.  It will be another new experience for me, moving to another location (to be revealed next week)...<< MORE >>

I sat in my office this morning and hit repeat on a song.  I shut my door, turned up the volume, and dove into the truth of the lyrics to the Matthew West song, "You are Everything."  There's so much beauty in the image that is cast by the words to the song, but I just couldn't get over the first few words of the chorus.  "You are everything that I live for."  You know, I live for so much junk, it hurts to admit.  Money, security, gratification, popularity, humor, and the list goes on describing things that I live/have lived for in my life. How different could my life be tomorrow if I made the Lord everything and the only thing I lived for, today? << MORE >>

There are many laughs to be had, many tears to be shed, many hugs to be given, and much love to be shared.  Sometimes, it's just hard to realize that when you're flyin' solo...<< MORE >>

My Saturday morning was spent planting privacy trees for the mother of my friend, Diana.  ...<< MORE >>
