I’ve Found Someone New
“I’ve found a man, I don’t need you anymore. He’s brought me into the safety of his bed. He might even love me; he tells me so whenever he wants to be with me. He let’s me take him out to dinner, and buy him nice things. He even stays at home and takes care of the house, missing me, while I’m away at work. I have the privilege of helping him with his kids when I get... read more

Thoughts on Revival

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.
