A Psalm
I have found my home in you. Your embrace is my reason for living. Every step taken, closer to you. Eyes closed, no distractions, there is no turing back. Without your presence, my soul is dead. Without your word, direction lost. To live in you, is to live for you. To die in you, is relief for these weary bones. You alone vindicate me. You alone hear my cry. You alone can use my tongue to speak- can use my... read more

If I Were Superman (a love ballad, of course)
If I were Superman- I’d fly you to Hawaii and back, in my arms, for a romantic weekend. I’d heat up your coffee in the morning, with just a glance. I’d blow away the storm approaching our picnic in the park. I’d freeze a pond on a hot summer’s day, just so we could skate. I’d pick up your car and carefully place it, in a tight spot. I’d listen to the sound of your... read more

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

Soft and Sappy
So my wife, kids, and I are in Southern California so I can attend a pastors’ conference.

God Is (Acrostic)
God is: All I need. Better than I could ever imagine. Conquerer of all my fears. Director of all my steps. Effective in salvation. Good to His innermost core. Helper of those who are hopeless. Incomparable to any life circumstance. Jealous for my love. King of my spheres of influence. Loving in all of His actions. More than I could ask for. Never going to let me down. Over the afairs of men. Pleasing to my... 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.
