So I checked my calendar this morning to see what a cupcake week I have planned. Low and behold today is the day my extension ends for Historical Foundations. I have to write and turn in a 15-20 page research paper today. Ugh!
If I don’t, it is simple… I fail a class that cost me [...]
And you thought I was kidding about the flaming tower at LaShish?
Left to Right… it’s Jacob, Allison, Zach, Paul, and Megan (Taken at LaShish after our big June birthday/anniversary dinner)
With most of the weekend behind me, I guess it’s a good idea to look back to what I’ve been up to.

I can’t lie. I think of myself and the ministry I lead in grandiose terms. Not in a bragging way or in a self-righteous/self-centered way… But I have [...]
You know, I was at a meeting tonight and I was thinking to myself… “How can I encourage these people when I don’t feel very encouraged?“
But, but, but…It’s a weird thing to be a leader. Particularly to be a spiritual leader. Folks are always looking to me to get a “warm fuzzy.” I am happy [...]
