If you enjoy mocking… then start your engines!

I’ve decided to make a change in my life. I’m going back to an old way of doing things.

Rockin’ down the highway…

We’ve done our share of road trips this summer. For these special occasions I put together a CD of good road tunes. There’s 20 on there and while I can’t remember them all I can remember the favorites of Camden and Logan – Because I’ve heard them about a gazillion times over!

Classic.

P.S. I’m not a HP hater.

Hello Facebook… or… Myspace is soooooooooooo yesterday!

I have been sucked into Facebook. One thing about being in youth ministry is that you have to keep up on all things pop culturey. Usually I’m pretty good at it. But with Facebook I find myself being a cranky old man about it.

“Whaaaat?!?! Now there’s some new whizbang gimmick to communicate?!?! What’s next, putting [...]

Random thoughts and vacation highlights

#1 Highlight – Of course it was seeing great family and friends! A special thanks to the great friends that met us at the Kenmore Panera. It was very nice of you to come see us.
I’ve had some thoughts about how a relational view of ministry effects so much more than what we typically [...]
