In June of 1994 I sat before an ordination council and was asked what was my favorite scripture? I answered, Psalm 46:10 “He says. Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted in the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Truth is, that was simply the verse I hadContinue reading “Slow Down and DO something”

She still drives me crazy.
Fourteen years ago I got married. That woman drove me crazy. Her talent, her spirit, her hypnotic eyes and she smelled great. I loved to hear her laugh and I love her smile when she scrunches her nose. She is my best friend and I can’t imagine life without her. After all these years sheContinue reading “She still drives me crazy.”
I need a hobby
I was looking through some old journals this morning (you have to see if you are progressing but that is another blog). I journaled some time ago about the need for a hobby and it occurred to me that I still don’t have one. I was a quiet kid in a difunctional home and justContinue reading “I need a hobby”
Rock the Block
It seems like whenever Jesus wasn’t preaching or teaching he was at a party. His first miracle of turning water into wine was at a party. He was accused by the Pharisees by partying with sinners. If you search the scriptures Jesus was constantly creating a party atmosphere. He fed 5000 a fish fry soContinue reading “Rock the Block”

Once again I am at the crossroads of music in our services. I can do it but I am not that talented. I haveContinue reading “When the music fades…”
To my son…on his birthday.
Today you turn 3 years old. I am already so proud to be your father. You have the perfect blend of strength and compassion. I pray that remains in you. I will do everything in my power to foster that trait. I will try my hardest to model Christ in front of you soContinue reading “To my son…on his birthday.”
Popes, Ministry and awkward transitions
The Pope is resigning and it hasn’t happened since 1415. The news is covering who the next pope will be and pontificating on why the current pope is really stepping down (Like being old as dirt isn’t reason enough). The thing that is really interesting to me is the transition. How does a Pope transitionContinue reading “Popes, Ministry and awkward transitions”
Our New Adventure
Since the pastor blogged about me on the church website I guess it is ok to let you all know what our new adventure is. After what seems like an eternity we will be going back into Family ministry. I have accepted the position of Pastor to Family Ministries at The Church at Riverland TerraceContinue reading “Our New Adventure”
Vulnerabilities during the job hunt
It has been a long time since I was working. Even longer since I was working in the church and even longer still since I had to seriously interview. Last time I had to seriously interview for a ministry position was 13 years ago. These last months I have networked, searched, googled andContinue reading “Vulnerabilities during the job hunt”
