I Want To Go To Haiti
Ever since I was a little kid Haiti has been on my heart. As kids we would do a thing called the “penny march” where we would bring up money and put it in a jar and the money was going to some missionaries in Haiti that were raising money to build an orphanage in [...]
To Save A Life (movie review)
This is a copy of my review as posted on the Youth Specialties website.
Have you ever longed for a movie to be made by a Christian that depicted life in a much more realistic way? Where people who began a relationship with Christ didn’t suddenly have it all together, score the winning touchdown, get [...]
Lookin’ Back and Lookin’ Ahead 2010 Edition
I have had the same goals for the past three years and so I will re-post them again.
1) Do something about my job situation, whether that means a new job and forget ministry all together, or do something to get into ministry.
2) Do more to care for our planet (i.e. recycling, conserving energy, etc.)
3) To [...]
Bloggin’ Through 2009
It is that time again to recap the past year, so as I usually do I went back and looked at the first post of every month and provided a link to them below with a little commentary.

Merry Christmas 2009
The following is our annual Christmas letter.

Santa is a Bully?

First, let’s talk about how he became Santa [...]

This Christmas Blog Post Brought to You by…
Isn’t it sad that many of us would not be surprised if I had said Target or Walmart or Amazon or whatever other retailer you can think of? This time of year is so filled with commercials to buy this latest and greatest toy or gadget.
For many years we have had a couple of different [...]
The Nativity Dance
I saw this video on a friend of mine’s blog. This is what he did at his youth group. I think it is great. Well, other then the fact that it is biblically inaccurate, because the wise men didn’t come until Jesus was a toddler and not when he was a baby. [...]
Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas!
I posted the following question on my Facebook status update along with asking it on Twitter.
“Why do we (when I say “we” I mean those who are Christ-followers) expect non-Christian companies or people to say Merry Christmas?”
I have to honestly say that I really do not care if I go to Walmart and the cashier [...]
