No Rhyme
Sometimes there seems to be no rhyme or reason. Sometimes there ses to be no right or wrong. Sometimes it seems like justice is not served. Sometimes it feels like the righteous suffer more than those who are not. Sometimes life does not make sense. Sometimes death does not make sense. Sometimes there are no words. Sometimes there are blank stares. Sometimes there is head in the hands. Sometimes there are... read more

Rhino
A rhino is running full speed ahead. It’s been running for a long time and it’s been running fast. This rhino has blinders on the sides of its eyes. And rhinos can’t look behind to see where they’ve come from, but they do always remember their glory days. I wish the rhino could be stopped, but it’s too powerful. I’ll have to wait until the rhino gets tired and, when it... read more

Racing Thought
Rain, rain drops. Tat-Tat-Tat from the sky to the ground. Each drop its own, each drop part of the storm. One-two-three, how long can I count the falling? Life, life springs. Inching up from the ground inch by inch, by inch. Green, Red, Orange, Yellow, and Blue each new sprout unique. Each sprout a part of the field. Ants, ants crawl. Going to and frow and doing work.

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.
