Striking a Chord
Wow! Today I really struck a chord with a few people on Facebook! I never ceases to amaze me how easily people can get their panties in a wad. That statement alone might cause some to really get uptight. Every once in a while I’ll throw up a statement on Twitter and Facebook that people just can’t handle- particularly Christians. I don’t understand why it’s Christians that get... read more

Angels!
I always find it astonishing how obsessed people, particularly Christians, can be with angels. These people tend to collect statues, t-shirts, paintings, figurines, throw blankets, gold-framed photographs, pillows, dolls, jewelry, and songs of/about/with angels.

And I posed the question,” How is your love life?” In other words, ” Is your love for your fellow Christian and those who are far from God reflecting Christ?” Fake, cheesy, superficial love doesn’t count; do you really care about the... read more

Thirty-One
Today was my wife’s 31st birthday. It’s weird to think that my pretty 16 year-old little girlfriend is now my beautiful 31 year-old woman/wife who I’ve been married to for 10 years and have two kids with. I wouldn’t have it any other way! And I’m hoping for at least another 31 years x 2! I love you Susan! Happy Birthday! read more
In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
