Sex, sex, sex, and more S-E-X!!!

With our upcoming senior high retreat in March, “The Great Sex Weekend”, I figured it would be good to inundate myself with as much theological thinking about sex that I could cram in.
I’m using Rob Bell’s book Sex God for the basis of the talks. Myself, Diane, Dave, and Brian are splitting up 4 talks. [...]

I’m married again

I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts the past few weeks. What else am I going to do while spending over 3 hours on cardio machines?
They’ve been reinforcing and reminding me of things I ought to be doing, particularly in the area of leadership.
One thing that caught my ear because I’m pushing myself to [...]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

In the 7th & 8th grade Sunday school I asked the kids a few questions for Charisse who’s teaching a 4 week class for some parents. She wanted to get the kids answers and share them with the parents.

7 Days of Xmas Reflections: Day 4

The boys went back to school today.
Thank goodness.
I figured this was the longest Christmas break could be. Think about it… Christmas Eve was on a Monday so they got the previous weekend off giving them an extra 2 days. Diane is wondering since Christmas Eve will fall on Tuesday next year if the school will [...]

7 Days of Xmas Reflections: Day 3
