  • more good stuff

    I know I am starting to sound like a broken record, but things are going so well! Last night we had a really nice time at the tailgate party and FREEZING cold football game. Let’s face it, it was a miracle that we made it to halftime. Just after the king and queen we announced……

  • starting my Romans 3 message

    Today I will be focusing on my text, Romans 3, for Sunday’s message. This is a unique challenge in that I am not doing a “stand alone” fill in message while the pastor is away. Instead, I have been asked to be a part of his current series on faithfulness. I don’t like to teach…

  • light force rolling

    Last night went pretty well. We had a gaggle of students there and the whole thing felt like home again. I really enjoyed it. The talk went pretty well too. I felt like it was one of my stronger talks… though Kristen just thought it was OK. My attention is now turning to Sunday mornings…

  • mary and joseph’s story

    I have finished my talk called “Mary & Joseph’s Story.” Check it out here. It’s a pretty simple talk… straight forward and to the point. Luke 2:21-40 pretty much teaches itself. I’ll be spending some time contrasting human vs. supernatural responses.

  • wifi-ing it

    I am working on tonight’s talk at my favorite coffee shop. OK, it’s my favorite coffee shop until I find a coffeeshop that has FREE wifi. I mean, $2.95 for 2 hours kind of sucks. But, at least I can nibble on my hot apple blast while writing about Luke 2. The talk should be…

  • The "I am the only gay in the village" complex

    For those who have never seen Little Britain… buy it now or at the very least rent it. It’s worth the look. I was thinking about the character Daffyd today. On the show, Daffyd’s entire identity is tied into his being the only homosexual in his village. What is really funny about it is that,…

  • a conservative 1-2 punch

    Like a lot of Americans, I awoke to he news that George W. Bush had nominated his special counsel, Harriet Miers, to the Supreme Court. [Read news story] If this nomination goes through, it will probably tip the balance towards the conservatives. I for one, am a fan of a conservative federal government. But I…

  • my week

    Been a long time since I ran through my weekly schedule. It’s a good habit. Monday: I’ve got to finish the bedroom today. Yesterday JonD helped me get the wiring finished for hte new ceiling fan, the finish coat of paint is in, I just need to get the trim from Home Depot and get…

  • just keep on trucking with good stuff

    For as down and out as I felt coming back from Northern Ireland I am feeling pretty class these days. I’ll spend my early afternoon today mowing and trimming the backyard. Rich let me borrow his push mower since he never uses it. [He has a service, man I wish I could pop the $25/week…

  • a couple of things

    Tonight was Light Force’s first Concert of Prayer & Pizza night. We do this once a month to focus our attention on God and not us. For those who aren’t cool with that… we just ask them to focus on the pizza and participate as best as they can in the COP&P. I am learning…
