let the fun begin

Today I am going to Sioux City to pick up the ‘giant trikes’ for the trike races at our Super Bowl Party.  Tomorrow we will have a small army meet us here at the church to transform our church into the ultimate Super Bowl Party atmosphere.  It takes a lot of work (from what I am told) to transform our [...]

sports center gets it

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rA1Waj7vSE] Sure it may be a spoof on heaven and hell…but what if Sports Center really gets it and someone there made this to subtly witness?  Just a thought.

super bowl party

I am excited about our upcoming Super Bowl Party.  This has been an annual thing here at Bethel for at least the last 5 years or so.  Rumor has it that between 120-200 students show up for this event.  It won’t be the largest SBP I have been at but it will rank right up there.  It seems like everyhting [...]

journey to 100: week3 (2009)

80I can’t tell you how excited I am to be back in the gym.  This week was really the completion of my first week working out in the gym and I am starting to have some casual conversations with some of the ‘regular’ guys that are in there when I am.  I am looking forward to eventually having faith discussions [...]

last nights fire escape

Fire Escape is our middle school ministry.  Last night we had a great night.  I have decided to ramp games back up and it really helped a lot.  We played ‘Dive Bombers’ and of course dodgeball.   Dive Bombers didn’t work so well.  Basically you divide the students into 2 teams.  You then have them sit against each side wall of [...]

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ddn4MGaS3N4] I know.  I have heard there are guys who do this better.  But really is not good for me to pray that God gives me this ability?

my prayer for president obama

A day or so after the election I wrote a post about why I will support President Obama as he comes into office and serves his term or terms.  Re-reading and praying this morning I still stand behind what I wrote.  I would encourage you to read or re-read it again.  It’s not that I am a great thinker but [...]

journey to 100: week 2 update (2009)

I went to the gym yesterday after noon.  I was able to walk on the treadmill for a full hour without too much trouble.  I was only at 3mph but I  figure starting off there after my long break isn’t too bad.  I wasn’t too winded when I got off so I know that means that I need to start [...]

journey to 100: week 2 (2009)

I am excited – I finally joined a gym here.  I went in this week and took a tour of both gyms in Storm Lake and got the pricing on each.  Wednesday I decided to go with the slightly more expensive gym – Anytime Fitness.  The thing I like about Anytime Fitness is the keyless entry.  This will allow me [...]

40 days of love: day 1

I got the book ‘Love Dare’ for Christmas.  My original thought was to do a spoof of the 40 Days of Love and chronicle how I am taking 40 days to love myself better.  If we are truthful we all have a hard time loving ourselves.  So last night I read the first day in the book and thought, “You [...]
