The Wedding Dance

Ok, so they probably aren’t the first to do anything like this. BUT – they did Youtube it. Some people have complained that this shouldn’t be done in a church, but if they truly love God and He is the main focus of their marriage, then it’s cool.
What, you don’t think Jesus danced [...]

God’s Timing is Perfect

For a while I’ve been feeling unsettled at work.  I have felt God prodding me that I needed to make a change, to do something different.  I have applied for positions within the company that I thought God had prepared me for only to not get an offer. 
 
It’s been rough.  It's been disheartening.  I [...]

In Memoriam

This week we also lost Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon. Please pray for their friends and family as they deal with their passing. Both will be missed.

Thank You Michael Jackson

The world lost Michael Jackson yesterday. It seemed to be the only thing anyone could talk about last night. It is sad and unexpected.
I firmly believe that he is my generation’s Elvis. Michael’s influence is all over the place. If you like music videos – thank Michael. Thriller, Billy Jean, Beat It – [...]

Knowledge Expansion Through Twitter

Since I've started Twittering, I have formed new relationships with pastors all over the country. I have started to interact with men in Texas, Florida, Kentucky, Illinois -and the list is growing longer.  I have started to read new blogs, and the information I am getting is awesome.  I am getting different insights on how to [...]

I am down 13lbs since I started my workout, and I feel good.  I'm still sore, and I'm still a ways away from where I want to be, but I'm on my way.  My clothes are fitting better, and I am doing better at eating healthy – although I am craving little chocolate donuts.  I [...]

I’m Being Followed

This morning I woke up, checked my email, and Twitter had emailed me to let me know that I had 5 new followers. I'm a little surprised that people have chosen to read my ramblings. I don't know why people have chosen to follow, but I am thankful that they are. I hope that you [...]

Dinner with the Simpsons

We went to Buffalo Wild Wings tonight with Brooke and Darrin to watch the Hawkeyes take on the Cyclowns in basketball. I love spending time with them cause they are such a great couple. We really enjoy their company and look forward to more times like this.
 

Slowing Down

Many of you have noted that life has been really hectic for me the last few months, and I thank you for your concerns.  November was filled with schoolwork, ministry, getting the house ready for guests, and anything else you can think of.  Now that Thanksgiving has passed, things have slowed down a lot, and [...]
