The Boy Wonder In Action

My Son Turner loves Monday’s. After school, he gets to come to the church and play with some of our Jr. High kids, youth leaders and our Sr. Pastor’s son (who happens to be his hero) – Yesterday, while playing in the gym…this happened!

Another Proud Daddy Moment

Here’s Taylor singing at the Sunnyside Elementary talent show…Yet another proud Daddy moment!!!

Day 2 in Chicago

Christine and I are having a blast in Chicago! Yesterday we took a train up from Bloomington, did some shopping and then headed off to see Blue Man Group. We thought we’d sleep in a bit this morning and then have a nice breakfast…the only problem was that we slept in until 11am! Today, we [...]

Time For a Getaway

In a few days, the love of my life turns the big “Four-Ohhh”. To celebrate, we’re taking a break from all the insanity that’s been surrounding our search for a new ministry home and heading out of town together for 3 days. To say this is a much needed trip would be an enormous understatement. This is [...]

Dancin’ Machine

My Son Turner loves to dance. He loves it so much that we decided to put him in a Hip-Hop class. Tonight, all the hard work came together in His first ever dance recital. Watch for his big solo in the middle of the routine! Check it out…

So Thankful

There’s a lot to be thankful for this year. I’m thankful for God’s direction and guidance. I’m thankful for 2 wonderful kids. I’m thankful for great friends and I’m thankful for a great ministry team. But this year I’m reminded more than ever how blessed I am to have Christine for a wife. She is the [...]

Taking Inventory

Before I was in ministry full-time, I was in inventory control. It wasn’t always the most glamorous job on the planet, but it paid the bills and provided for my family. Every year, we would have a giant inventory count. Everyone would work overtime, grab a scanner and count everything twice. This was a huge [...]

A Day In The Enemy’s Camp

Yesterday was a blast, albeit a blast in the camp of the enemy. I broke the code of conduct of any blue blooded Seahawk fan and headed up to the Chicago Bears training camp with my Son and his football team. Minus a 2 1/2 hour bus ride (both ways) with 30 screaming 6 year olds, the [...]

Taking a Day

Tomorrow I’m taking a day. I’m taking a day to refresh, a day to refocus, a day to rethink, a day to be away from the ministry I love and focus on the Son I love so dearly, a day to think on other things, a day to have fun and a day to commune with [...]

In Awe

I’m simply in awe of God today. The beauty of His creation, the power of His purpose, the depth of His grace. I look at the faces of my children and can picture God forming their features, shaping their hearts and carving their character. I look at my amazing wife and am blown away that [...]
