This is my crazy nephew, who lives back in PA. His mom (my sister) sent this video to me yesterday. Apparently he was bored and wanted to make me a video. This is it. I miss picking on this guy. Enjoy.

In celebration for tonight’s premiere I figured I’d see which Office character I am. Who are you? I’m super excited about tonight’s episode and can’t wait! Hopefully the writers strike doesn’t interfere again this year.

What NBC “The Office” character are you?

This article is from about a year and a half ago over at Mark Battersons blog.  I am finally getting around to sharing it.  Mark has great insight and appreciate his ministry in Washington D.C.  Here is the article.
Church Steeples

There was a time, just a few centuries ago, when nautical maps of Europe had legends that [...]

“The health and life of the church rests in the spiritual examples the elders model. The problem in the church today is not the absence of innovative programs, financial giving, or dynamic preachers and teachers. The problem is in the leadership team.” - Found on the internet a few years ago.

So it makes me wonder. Through the experiences that I have had at church why restoration, isn’t really restoration.  I have seen two pastors, I personally know, fail morally in the positions they held, one in particular was in the very church that I was attending.  Why is it that we as believers never reached [...]

I’ve been wresting around this past evening with what to write exactly.  I’m still not sure I’ve come to a complete conclusion, and what I write may be a mess, but here it goes.  
To be honest, I’ve had quite a bit of things on my mind as of late.  Some of those things I [...]

So I’m just curious where did it come from, and what is it?  Last week I was leading a study in the book of James (Chapter 1) and we got onto rather good discussion about this.  I’m just kinda what your thoughts are.  I’m not here to start a argument, or whatever.  I’m just curious [...]

Hey all.
I’ve seen this done on other blogs and wanted to do it here.  I am spending Monday and Tuesday in some concentrated prayer times through out the days, and wanted to pray for you guys and gals who read my blog…whoever you might be.  Please don’t be shy and not respond.  Be anonymous if [...]

 
 
Don’t need to say much about this one.

Yesterday morning I finished up John Piper’s book “Don’t Waste your Life”.  It was a great book, but a book I thought that the points could have been better defined and brought to a quicker attention rather than the drawn out process that Piper followed throughout the book.  Anyway, as I worked my way through [...]

My friend, Danny, shared this quote on his blog the other day.  This one hurts.  Sad thing, like many other things - I won’t do much about this.  
“If you REALLY believe in the saving power of Jesus Christ then why in the world would you show up at church every single Sunday without a [...]

I love this realistic picture Ronald Rolheiser paints of the church.
To be connected with the church is to be associated with scoundrels, warmongers, fakes, child-molesters, murders, adulterers, and hypocrites of every description.  It also, at the same time, identifies you with saints and the finest persons of heroic soul within every time, country, race, and gender. To [...]

Green Mt. Falls kicked my butt. It gave me a nice goose egg on my head too. Stupid tree. Here is some images from the hike:

Honestly I don’t have much to say.  I hate when I get like this.  I feel like I am just rambling, but on the flip side I feel like I need to write something.  I mean…what’s the point of a blog if you don’t write anything anyway.  
I guess I will share something that I [...]

I don’t have much to write, but I have been thinking about this 5 chapter autobiography that I’ve heard read to me before.  I’m not sure why I have been thinking about this the past couple days, but I have, and wanted to share it with you.
Autobiography in Five Chapters
Chapter One
