- good week for my investments
I know you’re not suppose to watch your retirement account… But when it is going up and up it is so much fun! I’ve added about 10% so far this year to my IRA’s value. I can only hope it manages to hold that gain through the year.
- the really hard part begins
a mix of good and badAs I’ve mentioned a few times here on All Blogs, my church is in the midst of hiring a new senior pastor. I’ve known for a few weeks how serious this search had become, but I wasn’t able to talk about it until now.
But it is now official that the [...]
- I Hate Valentines Day
We woke up this morning and promptly fed chocolate to the children in celebration of this Hallmark holiday.
Like most of us out there, my holy hatred for Valentines Day is rooted in my childhood. I always hated getting and sending those terrible little notes and I always got my feelings hurt when the [...]
- the drought
I have two thoughts for this post, both related to a drought. And both droughts I see ending soon.
The spiritual droughtApparently fasting hasn’t been just on my eyes as the sermon this morning was all about fasting. I had planned on fasting on Monday’s beginning tomorrow, but instead I will accept the fasting challenge from [...]
- Baby Got Book
If you are just passing by, check out this link… it will make you giggle and prove once again that not all youth pastors are as boring as I am.

If you are easily offended, just look away… or better yet watch it, laugh, and then scold me. (I’ll know you really like it!)
- I am an important person
the Reality:That might look like a cocky title to an entry, but I have been learning more and more that this is true. It has been something that I have gradually gotten used to. It’s not so much that I look at myself as important but that others are saying that I am important to [...]
- suffering with the boys
Today I am gone all day. I am taking the boys of Light Force to Cabelas in Dundee, MI. If you’ve never been or never heard of the place… It is the world’s largest reseller of hunting and camping equipment. It is the largest tourist attraction in the state of Michigan.
I actually don’t like hunting [...]
- telephone free
My household has officially retired wired telephone service in our house. This is taking some getting used to, but I think we are going to like it. Besides being cheaper and more mobile, I like having more features. So if you had 586-752-4146 as my phone number… throw it away!
- I Hate Valentines Day
There are times a youth pastor when your whole life can be summed up in a picture. This is one of them.
I don’t normally do gross games, but I felt the upcoming Valentines Day screamed for a game like I Hate Valentines Day! This was step one of 3. Teams had to dunk their heads [...]
- cheating on my blogger!
For a little while now I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to officially make my blog part of my ministry. The reality is that I have never intended this blog to be a ministry blog. (One that is meant to be read by the people of my church.) So this left me [...]
