I’ve been talking a lot lately about values and vision—even the whole idea of infusing these two things into others. But I haven’t said much about how that’s done. Oops. My bad. So I want to write a couple posts abut just that and I warn you… it won’t be how you think. So, to […]
READ MOREAs you read through the book of Acts (in the New Testament) and several of the epistles (letters – mostly from the apostle, Paul, that are also in the N.T.) you see a familiar pattern with Paul. He planted terrific churches but didn’t stay long. He was a true church planter, an entrepreneur, an owner, […]
READ MOREThis story was one of the greatest testimonies to God’s grace and miracle working power I have ever seen. And, sadly, because it was a last minute deal, many of you missed it. Well, hold on to your britches—back by popular demand (drum roll please) Dave Sanderson and Don Norton (survivors from the US Airways 1549 […]
READ MORESometimes the best days are the ones where you are forced to stay home and smell the roses. Yesterday was one of those days. The kids had off school and the newest additions to our family (canine additions that is) joined us for some fun in the snow! We had a blast! So, today, no […]

READ MOREI asked my good friend, Clayton to post for me today. I needed a breather after the four part series and we haven’t heard from the “King” in a while. Not Elvis, but Clayton!

READ MORENow to confuse the living daylights out of everyone before turning on the light and wrapping up this whole series. Lofty goal? You think? We’ll see. First the confusion.
