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 [...]

Getting God

Colossians 2: 2-3 – I want them to be encouraged and knit together by strong ties of love. I want them to have complete confidence that they understand God’s mysterious plan, which is Christ himself. In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
That is my prayer for the teens at The [...]

Are We Being That Light?

Or are we hiding our light? Check out this passage in Matthew 5:14-16 (TNIV) – “You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light [...]

Living Life to the Fullest

I just recently found out that someone that I love and care for very deeply will be losing her battle with cancer soon. Her name is Loretta and she is the wife of the man who was my youth pastor growing up. These two people have meant the world to me and have [...]

Someone Pinch Me

Wow! I can’t believe that it has been almost a month since we moved down here to Cincy. We came down here to a house full of new friends ready to help us unpack. We quickly got everything unloaded from the truck and then was able to enjoy some delicious food made [...]

Overwhelmed

I am feeling so overwhelmed by God’s love for me. We are so blessed to have such great friends and family who love us dearly. A few weeks ago we were singing the song “How Deep the Father’s Love for Us” by Stuart Townend and I was blown away by these words that [...]

What A Ride

Life has been very crazy for me lately, but it has been a good kind of crazy. My daughter graduated from 6th grade, which means she is now a part of the youth ministry at our church. I have waited for this day since she was born. People told me that I [...]

One Man Dubbed The Tank Man

It was 20 years ago that this event took place and I think we all have something to learn from this man. He was willing to sacrifice all he had for something he believed in. Would you be willing to stand in front of a tank, because of something you believed in?
I think [...]

Love Wins

With the murder of Dr. Tiller on Sunday I have become saddened at the reaction that many Christians and pro-life supporters have had to his death. If you are not familiar with the story you can read about it here.
Let me first of all state that I believe that abortion is wrong. I [...]

Running With God

Last year I ran in my very first 5K. Since then I have run in a few other 5K’s. I have really grown to love running and enjoy it very much.
Lately I have been pushing my distances, because I want to run in a 10K now. So I have a 7.25 mile [...]
