- here in Belfast!
OK… so the weirdest part of flying to Belfast was meeting up with Jonathon Herron at DTW. Too weird! He was like, “Hey… are you guys from Romeo?” Another small world encounter!
Here’s my update from Day one of our mission trip.
I am typing this update from a cool internet cafe` in the heart of Belfast. [...]
- dads and daughters
Since I will be gone until August 8th, I thought it would be good to leave a post worth commenting on.
This is from one of my student’s blogs…A free verse poem dedicated to my dad-There are some things a dad will never understand about his teenage daughter. *For one, the way she stuggles once [...]
- PACKING go braugh
All the emotions running highWe just got from our latest Target trek for stuff I probably don’t really need but can’t leave without. In less than 48 hours my mission team will be on our way to Belfast, Northern Ireland.
I don’t know if I’m nervous. I am anxious about leaving my family for 21 days! [...]
- rock boobs: they think I’m an idiot sometimes
Flashback to this afternoonToday I had the “hard ministry task” of taking 10 of my favorite people to the beach in Port Huron, Michigan to enjoy a day of playing in the waves and enjoying their friendship. All in all, it was a great day. This is what I refer to as “suffering for Jesus.”
A [...]
- building project nearing start
Last night, well after midnight, the Washington Township planning commission gave us the nod to move forward with our building program. The meeting started at 7:30 PM and went until about 2:00 AM. Maybe that is the news!
It’s been about 31 years since the church put a spade in the ground for major construction. This [...]
- the big 3Story rolled
Flippin’ sweet So, at my last grad school class I “got certified” in YFC’s wicked awesome evangelism strategy called 3Story. I got excited about it since I had already had a little dose of it before and when I got back home I floated it as a way to equip our people with an evangelism [...]
- it’s over
Earlier this evening we ended negotiations with the owner of the house on West Road. It all came down to her unwillingness to have the house fully inspected prior to ratifying the purchase agreement.
It seems as though she may need a new listing agency as her demands were so odd that the agent and her [...]
- golf imitates life
As is pretty normal in my life. As my life goes, so goes my golf game. It’s pretty weird having such a hard game parallel your actual life. But one of the things I really like about golf is that it is so much like real life.
We all aim for the fairways of life. We [...]
- how do I….
Explain Your ways to someone who doubts You even exist?
Tell someone that their pain is in Your will?
Tell 4 girls that their dad’s MS will steal him away from them?
That God can heal when I don’t know if He will?
Explain the mysteries of life when someone demands to know “why?”
Trust that you are in control [...]
- more negotiations?
So we’ve been counter-offered. We haven’t seen the final document yet, but we understand that what we are going to see we won’t like.
Annoying!The agent-to-agent talk is that the owner is going to counter-offer us by full asking price AND she has decided to add a weeks occupancy for her tenant/squatter. The first part doesn’t [...]
