For years now, my cell phone carrier has been a pain to deal with. The offer good service and this is without question. I get all my calls, I get good features. But their customer service just plain sucks. Last month, we decided it would be better money-wise if Kristen and I each had cell…

It’s an exotic vacation destination, with ancient cities, bold colors, legendary temples, remarkable beauty — and horrendous crimes that go on behind closed doors. Children, some as young as 5 years old, are being sold as slaves for sex. It’s a shameful secret that’s now capturing the attention of the world and the White House,…

Tonight is the official kick-off to the Light Force year. While I still have lots of things to put together in the communication department, everything else is a go. The weather is perfect! I couldn’t have asked for a better night. Thank goodness for the new Monster Games series. We will be repeating a summertime…

“Therefore, I urge you brothers, in view of God’s mercy to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to God. This is your spiritual act of worship.” Romans 12:1 I memorized those words about 10 years ago as a college freshmen. I was naiive. I was stupid. I was biblically illiterate. But…

With school finally here, this also means that Light Force will be kicking off very soon. We have a lot going on and a lot to do over the next few weeks. I’m guessing that the first 4 weeks of LF will determine how good or bad things go for this school year. Like always,…

On Friday, the guys played very well with 2 students at or below par. Unfortunately, they came up just short as Adams defeated us 149-148. We had them beat through 5 golfers, while the last match ended with the #1 players came in at 38 vs. 33. Both good rounds, unfortunately for us it was…

This may be one of those rare occasions when I wish I was out of church work and back into the business world. I’m biting my tongue today because something was royally screwed up and it’s going to cost the church some cash. Let’s just say, I miss not being able to fire people. A…

About a year ago I gleefully took over maintaining the church and youth group websites. It was a lot of fun. Each Monday I would spend about half of my day tweaking it all and making it look nice and getting all the latest and greatest updates out there. But now, I don’t like it…
