A Day at the Lake, A Day by the Sea
A bald eagle flew slowly over the shimmering lake, seeking for fish that it may devour. Trees waved slowly in the afternoon breeze. The green grass absorbed the radiant sunshine into each and every blade. A mother duck guided her young babies through a meandering maze of lily pads and stumps sticking above the sluggishly moving river. Sea gulls soared on the wind above the sandy shores below.

Blood on Our Hands
Several night’s ago I facilitated a small group for people in their twenties and thirties.

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.
