- junior high retreat weekend
This is just about the end of the road for my marathon of weekends. If you’ll remember, I had something planned either personally or with LF for every weekend between August 1st and November 1st. I can now smell the finish line with only two weekends left. (Crap, I just looked at the calendar and [...]
- A fantastic night
OK, I had a weird day. But it has ended exceedingly well.
The weird part of the day was meeting with this guy who showed up at our church Sunday morning. As I was clearing the sanctuary after church (shaking hands and kissing babies) this guy walked up and asked me if he could talk to [...]
- can God use me?

Student leadership is a commodity that each student ministry [...]
- while at huntington
Huntington College, IN (on location!)
I arrived here at Huntington about 6 AM this morning. I am stinking dirty dog tired. I woke up at 2:45 AM and got ready to leave the house by 3:15 AM. Keep in mind that I didn’t make it to bed until after midnight because Kristen and I were wired… [...]
- the battle of the deadline
This is an illustration that I’m using for a talk tonight. I thought it deserved it’s own post.
The Battle of the Deadline
A few years ago I had some students who decided they were going to go to war with me about deadlines.Every year, the youth group put on a huge gala banquet to honor the [...]
