“Where are you?” This phrase is often used in ways of finding people or knowing when they will arrive. A few weeks ago, Kaylee was traveling down from Iowa to move back to the apartment. On her way down, I had called her and the first thing out of my mouth was “Where are you”.... Continue Reading →
“Oh, it must be Easy”
I was talking to a buddy of mine a few days ago and we got on the topic of our careers. We discussed all the work he had been doing since we last saw each other a few years ago and he told me of the heavy work load and schedule he had to keep.... Continue Reading →
The 2 Minute Challenge
A while back I was challenged by an evangelist. This evangelist offered me the idea that pastors take 30 minute sermons to explain something that is so simple. He raved on about how it seems that we like to add in all the complicated stuff like doctrine and theology into the Gospel and wonder why... Continue Reading →
The Office Couch
For those of you who have been in my office, the first thing you will see when you come in the door in a brown couch and a pink chair. This is often used by the youth and children as they come hangout in my office while I am working, but the part that is... Continue Reading →

I have graduated with my degree, spent time with people who have meant the world to me, prepared for my upcoming wedding, and got to play paintball with members of my youth group and of my previous youth group.

My Sharpening Brothers
Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. (Psalms 27:17) This verse has been on my thoughts for a while now.

The Pastor’s Sales Commission
To continue my series on "There's a sermon in that", I wanted to write about this idea of why Pastors are trying to "win souls". I got into a conversation with a colleague of mine who just happens to not agree with me on the basis of faith. He began to ask me why I... Continue Reading →
