Hey, anyone joining me tomorrow morning for some man time?!! That’s right, it’s time once again (the first Monday morning of every month) to man up and the first manly thing you need to do is suck it up and get up early! I mean real early. I’m talking 6:15 am at the building formerly […]
READ MOREOctober is pastor’s appreciation month and I wanted to say a great big thanks to all of you who encouraged me with a word or a card or a gift! Some people have to get up and go to work each day. With me it’s never a “have to.” It’s a “get to.” I get […]
READ MOREThis is Day three of the tree house saga. We are actually clipping along pretty well. In fact, we are on about day five as of last week, but the blog needs to catch up! Can I tell you all a secret? The real reason for the tree house now (of all times) — right […]
READ MOREI thought I’d sneak this in between posts. I haven’t forgotten the old tree house dream. In fact, me and my father in law (Bob the Builder), as well as my son, Nathan, have been hard at it! <— Here is a shot of day 2 progress: Obviously, we’ve found the perfect tree. And I […]

READ MOREI’ve always wanted to build a treehouse. It’s one of those things that stuck in my brain when I first saw the Disney movie, “Swiss Family Robinson†and it never really left.

READ MOREIn just 6 days, we will begin one of the most important series we’ve ever done as a church—Vintage Jesus. What does “vintage” mean? Webster’s offers the following: (1): a season’s yield of grapes or wine from a vineyard (2): wine ; especially : a usually superior wine all or most […]
