Snowball
A snowball is formed. It is rolled down a steep hill. All along the way it gathers more snow. All along the way it picks up speed. It grows larger and larger, and faster and faster. Momentum is building and building. In front of it lies rocks, trees, structures, and creatures who would love to slow it down, make it smaller, and sustain it at a snail-like pace and size- things that hate momentum. There are... read more

Waiting for the Wave
I want to be a painter, a writer, a comic book artist… I want to be a jet-set businessman. I want to run a marketing company from home. I want to dabble in investing and new internet markets. I want to patent new and ingenious ideas in order to make millions. I want to leave my job at the office, then come home to relax, play with my kids, and watch tv with my wife. I want to make big money... read more

Hats
I wear lots of hats. Many of those hats don’t fit. But in the meantime, I wear them because there is no one else to put them on- yet. Hats are thrown my way and I determine which ones are the most important, and which ones have heads to wear them. For the ones which are important yet have nowhere to be placed on, I’ll wear them.

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.
