Dave’s been here 2 weeks today. So far everything has gone better than expected. Last night he planned and led the Middle Madness event and it all came off great. So far, so good. It’s panning out to be a great time.

In just a few minutes the church ministry/pastoral staff will be leaving for 2 days. The goal of this trip is simple… go somewhere quiet and free of distractions and define some vision stuff for the next phase of our church. With all of the transitions, pastoral changes, heartaches… in the past several years the…

Here’s Part One: There is One God Mormons claim that the Old Testament and New Testament are incomplete.  They claim that after Jesus spent time in Jerusalem , he spent time with American Indians. The time that he spent here in the Americas is recorded in the Book of Mormon. According to them, there isn’t…

This is the devotion that I gave to our first ever Middle Madness group tonight. Middle Madness is our summer ministry aimed directly at the middle schoolers of Light Force. Did you know? – There is a fish in the ocean that farts as a self defense? – Researchers have discovered that the herring, when its school…

Just 24 hours until our summer intern, Dave Luke, arrives from Belfast. There is still a lot to do around the McLane house. The room is painted, we have most of the furniture… but I still have 2-3 items that need to get taken care of. OK, so a mattress is pretty important. But beyond…

This isn’t the $3000 trips to Israel or a Bible lands trip to Greece and Turkey. No, he’s talking about short term missions. I’ll be the first to say that many foreign mission…

Today is the much "counted down" day. As of 11:00 am this morning, all of the kids at Romeo Schools are free until Labor Day. Bob, Jason, and I were in a staff meeting when we heard a yellow school bus rumble down Campground Road. It was followed by the roar of happy screams that…

Last night I had oodles of fun playing my role in The Senior Roast. Amazingly, all 5 of our seniors showed up. In fact, it was Sam’s very first time at Light Force and we roasted him anyway. It went really long and yet most of the students seemed to be really into it. The…

For the second time in three years, I’ll be heading up to ICCS for their 8th grade graduation. They’ve asked me to talk to them from Psalm 5:11-12: 11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad;        let them ever sing for joy.        Spread your protection over…
