I generally focus on spiritual and/or personal stuff on my blog, but I came across this today and had to share. With the election this close, you must have figured a guy with a minor in Political Science would have to mention something. Whether you like or agree with Bill O’Reilly at all, these statistics [...]

I have not been blogging much lately because we are having one of those weird computer issues in the office where I cannot access my blog from there. Anyway…
Tonight, I was able to be a part of something unique and interesting happening at the Rochester Church. For the month of October, we have conducted a [...]

Last night I attended a Parenting for Purity seminar at a local church here in the Rochester Hills area. I am not one to talk bad about other churches, so I will not name the church. My point here is not to bash anyone, but to consider the question you find in the title of [...]

Over the last week, I have had two conflicting events regarding my age. One made me realize how old I am, while the other reassured me that I am still young in some ways.

Back in April when I spoke at a youth rally in Beamsville, Ontario, I met a young man named Joey Merling. Joey was no ordinary teenager. That was obvious from the moment I met him and his noticeable lack of hair.

As Joey and I sat to talk, it seemed like hair was the only thing [...]

Today I was enjoying a ‘Revive’ Vitamin Water and read this on the label:
“If you woke up tired, you probably need more sleep. If you woke up drooling at your desk, you probably need a new job. If you woke up with a headache, on a ferris wheel at the Idaho State Fair, wearing a [...]

Have you ever jumped out of a car while it is moving? Then a little later tried to jump back in while it’s still driving down the road?
I think I kinda know what that feels like now.
I am still not 100% back in the swing of things since my vacation. I don’t know if [...]

Two weeks ago today, my family and I departed on our tour of the east coast. Well, not exactly.
The Wednesday we left, we headed down to Belpre, Ohio. I served at the Belpre Church of Christ before I moved to Rochester. It was good to see some old friends. It has been three years since [...]
