Dry Bones
Yesterday I spoke on fun in the life of a Christian. Too often the Christians I encounter are so boring, so judgmental, so religious, and so life-quenching- so much so that it’s no surprise that people in our culture want nothing to do with Jesus. Because if people see Christ’s Church, THE thing that is supposed to represent Him so well on this earth, as something that is dead, boring, and... read more

Standing On One Leg ( I have no idea where this came from- hope you enjoy)
It was a man’s lifelong ambition to be able to stand on one leg for 48 hours straight. In order to draw attention to himself he did it at a park downtown. He picked a spot right in the middle of the park’s major thoroughfare and lifted his leg to begin his 48 hour exercise. Several hours into it some small children playing ball ran in circles all around him- having so much fun that they... read more

Got 2B Glued and Great Clips Styling Gel
I recently went to get my hair cut. I get it cut about every three weeks and I prefer a slight faux-hawk: number one around the back and the sides, and fingerlength on top.

You can make your hair do just about anything imaginable with a few dabs of this stuff on it. It... read more

And while I believe that people of all religions should respect each other and treat each other... read more

Bring It!
I’ve lived for 30 years. Some would say that my best years are behind me. I REFUSE to believe that! I MUST believe that my best years are ahead of me. I don’t know how much time I’m given here. If I’m lucky (blessed), I’ve got 50 more years- maybe 25 to 30 good years to accomplish big things for the Kingdom of God. I’m not satisfied with doing small things or just... read more
In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
Ever since, 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.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
