I am fascinated by what can happen in 15 years.  I was showing some people my senior pictures from high school.  Usually the first reaction I get is, “That can’t be you!!”  Tobe honest I didn’t look much like my senior picture by the time I was a sophmore in college.   My body has gone through several major changes over [...]

This will probably be my last post until I get back from Poland next Wednesday.  Tomorrow I will be leaving to fly from Des Moines to Chicago.  From Chicago to Munich.  Then from Munich to Krakow.  Once I’m in Krakow I will ride by car (or van or bus?) to get to the mountain village where the conference will be [...]

So last week was pretty frustrating for me with the whole scale thing.  I have come to accept it now but still it stinks.  This week I amped up my cardio a little more and began the C25K running program.  I could tell a big difference over the past 2 days just in the fact that I am almost down [...]

iThere has been some candid joking around about me doing an album over the past month or so.  Honestly I would love to some day – only problem is I am not quite good enough to cut one on.  I have never really liked my singing voice…especially when I hear it played back.  But still people insist I could do [...]

I hit a small milestone today while working out.  I did 3 miles in 46 minutes.  I know it’s still pretty slow but it used to take me 70 minutes to do 3 miles.  So I know I am improving some. I have started this new running program.  Actually it’s not new but for me it is.  It is the [...]

Worship is something that is supposed to usher into the presence of God.  To allow us to open up our hearts and bring us into communion with the God of the universe.  We know this.  Worship has become one of the main essentials in the church today – whether it’s right or wrong. Have you ever got up to teach [...]

I have been in vocational ministry for just about 11 years now.  I have definitely seen my fair share of bloopers or mishaps that have happened both behind the scenes and live.  So I have decided to start a new series on my blog called “Ministry Mishaps.”  Maybe you have some you would like to share just email them to [...]

Sometimes in life you get an opportunity to do something you wouldn’t normally do.  A little over a month ago this happened to me.  I was asked (by my friend Bob) if I would be willing to fly to Poland and lead worship for Internationals Staff Conference during the first week of April.  So I talked with our pastor about [...]

My sister sent this to me in an email this afternoon.  Now I have hope…
