i’ll be back next week, in chicago

I will be back next week! I am off to Chicago for my first of two student mission trips. Check back April 3rd, 2005 for updates.

feelings, where are they?

Feelings, where are they?I “do church” for a living. Teaching others about God and helping to bring them into fellowship with God through worship, action, prayer, fasting, etc is what I do every single day. I am one of the few who get paid to do this and I truly love it. Even though I [...]

blue collar homework

With my last post about grad school being so down, I thought I would post my feelings about getting my last bit of homework done for the “stupid ass class.”
Along those lines, I’m not sure why… but my wife doesn’t find me saying “git-r-done” to be that much of a turn on. Huh?

i just don’t know

On a pretty regular basis now I am wondering why on earth I am in graduate school. It’s not that I don’t like the education and it’s not that I don’t see the value. It is a simple matter of time.
If I had about 2 times the hours in a week than I have now, [...]

our fist stock purchase
No sooner did I post that last message when I found out that our stock order went through. With that, Kristen and I are now partial owners of an American insitution, Coca-Cola Company.
Mixed emotionsIn a way this makes me feel a little old. 28 year olds don’t buy company stock, do [...]

coca cola, our first stock purchase
Today includes a scary time for me. (Give me a tough meeting with a high school student any day compared to this!) I am in the process of buying my first real shares in a company. I can’t believe how much this has me in stitches… but I think [...]

a private battle made public

A Difficult BattleThis whole thing with Terri Schiavo is very strange to me. To say that it is a difficult thing to comment on would be an understatement. Of the blogs that I regularly visit, Pastor Ray has touched on it while all the rest seem to be ignoring it.
As I look on the [...]

time rolls on

After last week this week seems like an ice cream social. My main things to accomplish this week really are rest and preparation for our mission trip.
There isn’t a ton left to do for either of those. I am planning on vegetating all day Thursday and Saturday this week.
Today my AM bible study crew decided [...]

feeling misunderstood

I looked at this sign this morning and said, “This is me in the past 7 days!”In ministry there are times when doing the right thing costs you points with people. Why? Because people hate to be held to a standard, even one that they have agreed to be held to!
Yesterday I had the great [...]

new members

This morning our church brought along 18 new members into the church. Additionally, 2 adult women were baptized. This is very cool.
Among the 18 new members were several of my students. I am very excited that they decided to take that step of obedience. I don’t know how else to express it other than that [...]
