Take my new poll
I use WordPressfor my blogging software. It is quite popular notably because of its extendibility through plugins. A plugin goes beyond the core functionality to add special features, like the poll to the right. I am playing around with some different plugins so you might see different things from time to time. I had to [...]
Acts 2 – analysis
As I alluded to here, Â I am reading through the Book of Acts looking specifically for 3 things in the Early Church: The working Holy Spirit with the disciples. Decision making and church authority and the conditions which surround them. The community and unity within the Body. Acts 2 has the most famous expression of [...]
If you get up, Daddy is going to put your right back in bed
I recently posted the video of Jacob’s Easter Egg Hunt. It is so precious and shows Jacob as the super cool kid he is. Those are the high points of being a parent, the ones that give you the energy to carry through as a good parent during the far more common mundane moments and especially [...]

Jacob on Easter
We had a great Easter holiday. Our church hosted a major community outreach for Easter. We reserved The Center, the larger public seating venue in our county, for our Easter service. We had over 700 in attendance and some decisions for Christ. Shannon did a great job handling the Preschool/Nursery classes during the service with 45 [...]
True Story
When I was a kid, I would dump out all my GI Joe characters on the bed or floor and create a Summer movie blockbuster with them and my imagination. Really. Not just bad guys fighting good guys. But I would set up a spy/traitor in the midst of one group. They would have internal [...]
