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. Pelicans... 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

Women
A few weeks ago I wrote a couple of posts about what it means to be a real man. I knew what to write because I’m a man- a man that falls very short of the expectations I wrote about. I knew what I wanted to be and what I wanted to strive for. So it was easy for me to write those posts. But people started asking me to write one of these posts about women. The only problem?! I’m not a woman. I... 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.

I have the privilege of helping him with his kids when I get... read more

Men, Part 2
Men get angry, but don’t take their anger out on those who did not make them angry. Men stand up and do whatever it takes to defend women, children, the elderly, the disabled, the sick, and those weaker than themselves.

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.
