Life as it happens
New Year…new post
I have been silent for a month, but I have not been quiet. We are pretty much settled in, and we are putting roots down. I haven’t written much, but yet people have visited my site. I wonder – who is reading this? Why? I ask because I haven’t had any comments, and I would [...]
ministry and social media
minisrty and social media. This was on my friend Bob’s blog. Very thought provoking. I use social media, but I am not trying to build a brand. I don’t want to be famous. I just want to connect. Much like Paul. I am never going to be cool, but I will try to be your [...]
God is soooo good.
Patience is something I am okay with. Especially when compared to Nicole. I am okay with waiting for the most part. Except when I feel lost. Like I have through most of this relocation process. I have held on to God throughout this whole thing, because He’s in control. Nicole and I have held hands [...]
To Iowa and Back
Nicole and I went to Iowa this weekend for the Fangman Family Reunion, and it was a good weekend. I didn’t golf again this year, although I think that next year I will. My plan is to get good enough to shoot 50-55 (I think par for the 9-hole course is 35), and with the [...]
Where am I?
It’s been a little over two weeks, and we are getting settled in to our new home here in Edwardsville. We like it, and we are happy with where God has placed us. We know He has plans for us, and we are looking forward to what they are. But I feel like a foreigner. [...]
Life Goes On, and So Do We
Over the last week or so, I have reconnected (sort-of) with people from my past who made a lasting impression on me. What I mean by sort-of is that I have connected with them through their wives. While facebook is meant for connecting with people, Twitter is a weird way of going about it. Through [...]
Chris’ Blog
I love to read other blogs, and I always check Chris’ to see what is going on with him, and I read this post. I love his points, and he has a gift for being transparent. Check it out. P.S. I thought about trying #1 also…but I don’t want to be “that guy” either.
There and Back Again 2009
This year I led the Mission Trip to Mexico. It was an amazing/awesome/ tiring/draining/uplifting/ encouraging/recharging trip. Nicole was able to go with me this year, and she had a great time. She was a hard working machine! Being in charge of the whole trip was an honor, and while I did have some bumps in [...]
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 at [...]
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. [...]
