Be Care Full!

    Dear Mr. Trump, Congratulations on being elected our nations president! What an accomplishment considering that you had no prior political experience and the main stream media wrote you off.  I’m excited to hear the fresh new ideas you have for America coming in as a non traditional political…

If you know me, I’m a peacemaker and I really don’t care for confrontation or fighting so when I hear about protests going on about Trump’s victory I’m a little troubled by it.  I thought for blogging purposes I would share 3 quick observations of what I believe is challenging…

Recently my wife and I adopted my 11 month old great-nephew.  Oh my goodness is that kid cute!  Just a precious child who ended up in our home because of circumstances beyond his control. I had always heard that there really isn’t anything quite like adoption to help you better…

A few weeks ago me and some of the church staff flew out to Phoenix and attended a church planters conference.  The whole experience of going to a conference and filling my head with tons of information has always been a love/hate thing. I love flying and getting out of…

Ecclesiastes 3 fascinates me and apparently it fascinated the 60’s super group The Byrds too.  They even wrote a song based on the scripture, though they made into a political statement and thus conveniently took something out of context from the Bible…imagine that??  That never happens right?  I’m not here…

Ok call me a sicko but I’m fascinated by Tornado’s.  I’m utterly afraid of them yet I will not pass up a Tornado show on the Weather Channel if it’s on.  The funny thing is that I live in the heart of Tornado Alley and just this spring, we narrowly…
