Life is full of choices

I don’t pretend to know all the answers. I do know this, life is full of choices. And while it’s true that twenty seven years isn’t all that long, it is long enough to recognize that ability to choose carries with it great responsiblity. I think for me it’s the responsibility of an informed choice [...]

Ministry through the tears

I wept today. It was one of those moments when you are faced with a challenge larger than you, and a decision needing to be made was bound to hurt someone. It did, and I was left with a the tears. But tears heal wounds whether the hurt inflicted was intentional or unintentional. Healing is [...]

Today is the last day of my grad class at LCU. It’s been a rewarding week. I have got to meet some youth ministry giants. The uniting factor is that whether young or old they are here this week to better themselves professionally and to make a bigger impact on the lives of the children [...]

Pornography, the silent killer

Ramblings and Rantings

Six Down One To Go…

Of the seven book reviews due for one of my graduate courses at LCU, I have six down and Lord willing, should have the last done tomorrow. I wrote two yesterday and one today, and am book reviewed out.
I will be gone next week to LCU, so blogging after Friday will be sparse for a [...]

I had forgotten something yesterday…

I had forgotten something yesterday. Let me explain, in the last few weeks, I have been so focused on doing, I haven’t allowed myself to be. I have been a whole lot like Martha, busy with all the preparations that need to be made, and running myself weary, when I should have made some time [...]
