Appendectomy
Sunday night my son Zion went to sleep with a slight fever. We were concerned since he had just finished his antibiotics for pneumonia earlier that day, and had just gotten home from spending a weekend at grandma’s. The next morning he still wasn’t feeling good, and was complaining of a stomach ache, so we decided that he would need to stay home from school and rest. A few minutes later,... read more

People wonder why on earth we would do such a thing and assume I must be taking advantage of my employer and making large sums of money illegitimately in order to make such an... read more

To The Future
There’s a few things I don’t understand about people who are adamant that global warming does not exist. Almost all scientists agree that our overall avergae global temperature is rising and that polar ice caps are melting at alarming rates, but many die-hard anti-global-warming advocates even deny the facts.

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.
