New Ministry Year

Quickly approaching is the new ministry year for the student ministries (Beyond Youth & Kids Zone) at Life-Givers Ministries.  Sure, it’s only June, but the new ministry year starts on Sunday, August 29, 2010; a few weeks after the start of the new school year. Can I just say that I’m excited?  So excited that [...]

Monday Morning Rewind #38 & 39, 2-Week Evening Edition

Last Monday, I couldn’t post my weekly Rewind blog entry because I was away from an Internet connection at camp.  And, I couldn’t post one this morning, because I didn’t have an Internet connection again.  So, to make up for my extreme tardiness, here are #38 and #39 of my Monday Morning Rewinds listing my [...]

Back Home

Bridgett and I are now home from camp. We were blessed with meeting new friends, and getting to minister to over 100 kids. Well, not all of them. We had a lot of help. Junior Camp was great. Thank you to our camp director, deans, counselors, helpers, and staff. Everyone’s work was extremely important, and [...]

Happy Father’s Day

I normally don’t post on Sundays, but today is another special one.  Just want to say Happy Father’s Day to all the dads.  I pray blessings on you today. Got to thinking though.  I’ve always heard it said, “Anyone can be a dad, but it takes a real man to be a father.”  Although the [...]

They Didn’t Believe

Continuing my reading through the gospels in 30 days, I came across Luke 24:11.  It states, “But the story sounded like nonsense to the men, so they didn’t believe it.” Who didn’t believe what? The disciples didn’t believe the report from Mary and the other ladies about Jesus not being dead.  Two “men” had told [...]

Bridgett Is Home

After a long week, Bridgett is finally home, and I couldn’t be happier.  I don’t like being away from her. She spent last week at Teen Camp at Camp Robinson, and now it’s time for me to hear some stories of what happened last week and for her to rest.  Not much rest she’ll get [...]

WordPress 3.0

Yesterday, I upgraded this blog from WordPress 2.9.2 to version 3.0.  I’m still poking around at all of the new features, but so far I’m loving this release. If you have a blog running on WordPress, then I highly recommend upgrading.

God’s Puzzle

Sometimes I wonder if God is constantly working on a puzzle.  Putting the right pieces where they need to be at the right time.  It’s just amazing. Yesterday, I came home to find that my outside A/C unit had broke, and needed to be replaced.  I made arrangements for a used replacement unit, and worked [...]

Monday Morning Rewind #37

Here are my thoughts over the past week. Yesterday’s service at Life-Givers was the best service we’ve ever had.  And, I believe that this Sunday’s service will be even better. On that note, better days are always ahead of you.  Never look back at the “good ‘ole days”.  Instead, look ahead to the better days [...]

Being a Disciple Costs a Lot

Reading Luke 14 tonight I came across verse 26. It states, “If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple.” Heavy stuff. I don’t think God would ask me to sin, [...]
