I write on a Saturday, following a tornado earlier this week on Monday. The speed of the recovery efforts in this town has blown my mind! In less than a week's time, the streets are clean, debris is largely gone, and signs have even been fully replaced in some locations. I've, personally, never seen a … Continue reading AFTERMATH: The Rebuild
Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. I've been going over these two verses at length with the children in our church the last several weeks, and I know I will continue the next few weeks as … Continue reading SPIRIT SLICES: Love

Stopped moving, driving, running, posting, calling, messaging, playing, watching, listening, and just stopped. This verse has always held a power to me, … Continue reading BE STILL

The two big buzzword terms we read about are "wearable tech", with a focus on enabling increased efficiency in delivery of information and vital monitoring, and the … Continue reading VR: Why Be Me?
I pastor what many would consider a small church. I've been there going on seven years in August. The length of time I've been there, we've gained some people and lost others. I can't say that my first pastorate has turned the world upside down as some others appear to, but I can say, without … Continue reading DON’T Limit God
