pray for my cousin

We got a phone call today letting us know that my cousin Heather is being placed in 24 hour hospice care as of today.  She has taken a turn for the worse so now it won’t be long.  Pray for her husband and their daughter.  This has definitely been a tough time on them.  Pray that God takes her home [...]

thanksgiving break: day 1

Today I got up at 7am to be at my parents by 8 so we could go load up a moving truck for a family in their church.  Who says time away from work has to be a lazy restful time right?  We went by the ADS House to get a few guys.  ADS is the AA and NA half-way [...]

fire escape: 11.19.08

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9ApkitpLY8] Tonight at Fire Escape (our middle school ministry) we talked about evangelism and telling our story and God’s story to others.  It was a pretty cool night.  I showed this video and talked about how our stories are all different but how if we are children of God that we have a responsibility to share God’s story.  After the [...]

why I love a man named Greg

This is no secret – I have a man crush on Greg Stier.  It’s the truth.  He is an amazing communicator of the Gospel to students and adults alike and he is passionate about Jesus.  I love his enthusiasm when he speaks.  He can definitely grab anyone’s attention.  I have never met Greg Stier face-to-face.  It is true last year [...]

saved through an affair and murder

It struck me today that we (Christians) were saved through an affair and murder.  I know that for some of you who read this it will make you mad….but it’s true.  It’s funny that we get so mad at people and want to through their worth and value away becuase of the nature of their sin.  Yet God chose to [...]
