I went over to Storm Lake this afternoon and played their disc golf course at Mandeville Park.  It’s a moderate 9 hole course.  I shot 2 over on 18 holes.  I think that was pretty good considering it was my first time.  I definitely think I can hit at least 4 under for 9 holes once I get the course [...]

So last night was the night.  We had our own version of the ‘Throdown with Bobby Flay.’  Sure Bobby wasn’t there but it lived up to the hype.  Although this was just a “practice run’ it was very official.  We couldn’t start cooking until we got the call from the judges that they were on their way.   We had to [...]

I am ashamed to admit it. That is that maybe I was too quick on my review of the mac in my office. The more I get used to the mac in my office the more I like it. I have discovered some new features on it that I like and it’s proving itself little bit by little bit. I [...]

So I have been invited to attend a grill “throw down” tonight.  The idea sounds fairly intriguing to me.  I’m all for competition and that’s what this is.  Here’s how it works; a select number of people are invited over as the “cooks” (I am one of them tonight) you are supposed to bring enough ingredients to make 6 hamburgers [...]

I have to start working out again.  I’m debating buying a membership to a gym vs buying a bike and saving money in the long run.  If I buy a memebership to a gym I’ll have to drive 20 miles round trip to get there and back and with gas at $4/ gallon I’d rather not. So now I’m in [...]

I bought 3 new books today while in Sioux City. Well 2 books and a new study Bible. I am really looking forward to reading both of these books. The 2 books are:

Today Jay and Gary took me to Sioux City for a staff outing.  They wanted to show me around Sioux City.  It’s only 1.5 hours from us and it is where some people do go to have major surgeries in the area so it’s good to know where the hospitals are there.  Honestly it was nice to get away as [...]

Sometimes I am behind on new music.  This is definitely one of those times.  I have heard a lot about Jadon Lavik over the past few months.  Honestly I kind of wrote him off without even listening.  I guess in a sense I have become calloused to the “next big thing” that is out.  I picked up his album Roots [...]

This morning I was officially commissioned as the youth pastor here at Bethel.  The elders laid hands on me and prayed for me after Pastor Jay gave the “charge” or the challenge to me and the congregation about my new role here.  I am excited and glad to be here.  I think God is going to use my time here [...]
