This is funny.

“We continue to shout our praise even when we’re hemmed in with troubles, because we know how troubles can develop passionate patience in us, and how that patience in turn forges the tempered steel of virtue, keeping us alert for whatever God will do next. In alert expectancy such as this, we’re never left feeling shortchanged. Quite the contrary—we can’t [...]

This was really good.

This is really just a rant between God and I over my dad and his situation.  I often use my blog as my journal instead of using an actual journal.   I also journal through writing songs as well as I have done recently.  This last week has been an especially tough week on me for a couple of different reasons [...]

There is no doubt that I have been blessed to be a part of what God is doing through BSM (Bethel Student Ministries) over the past 2 years (June 1) that I have been in Newell.  I knew there would be some challenges but I knew in the interview process that God was calling to a place where things could [...]

Back in March when Dad was first diagnosed with colon cancer my cousin Angie sent us this message on Facebook, “I asked God for a verse to send you guys….I recently went through a study of God’s promises.

Sometimes I read Donald Miller’s blog.  I was reading it this morning and his post on asking people to leave the church struck me as a good read.  It’s not something we would typically think of doing.  I’m not sure I buy into it 100%.  It’s a lot like firing a volunteer who isn’t pulling the weight or isn’t really [...]

I have learned a lot about wifi over the past couple of weeks while my dad has been in the hospital.  I took my Mac Book Pro with me when I left Easter Sunday to head down for his first surgery.  My laptop has always worked fine with wifi wherever I go.  It worked great at my parents.  I love [...]
