I don’t know about you, but I love to people watch! It is so exciting and never boring! If you have ever people watched, you know what I mean. Even if you have not intentionally sat down to people watch, odds are you have still done it. Whether intentional or not, what goes through your […]

Have you ever had a ticket for speeding? My sister seems to think I have been pulled over thousands of times! In reality, I only have one speeding ticket on my record. (The others I was allowed to take driving school to keep it off my record!! But that’s beside the point.) As you read […]

We all have moments we could use a slice of humble pie. I had one yesterday. Well, actually it was closer to the whole pie. Yesterday at Church I was the only acoustic guitar player on the worship team. I had the thought of how necessary I was to the team. Don’t get me wrong, […]

When a child is adopted there is no doubt the child is part of the family, but there is no blood relation. And then there are my brothers and sisters […]

A couple weeks ago I preached on the story of Daniel. He is by far one of my favorite people, and books, of the Old Testament for so many reasons! He has an incredible resolve to honor God and God’s commands, he is bold and consistent in his prayer life, and his closeness with God […]

Wow! It has been one crazy summer! For those who may not know everything here is a brief recap of some things I have done this summer… Stepped down as Youth Minister of Milford Christian Church.
