Anyone who reads this blog (I know my readership is limited and that is okay) I would like to invite you to an online book club. Here is my idea. We choose a book, approve a normal amount of time to read the book and then discuss the pros and cons of the book. I would also like to comment…
I had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Turkey, ham, stuffing, sweet potatoes, pie, and all the rest was present at our table last Thursday. But what I treasure the most this holiday was the time spent with family. God has truly blessed me with a wonderful wife who loves the Lord and me. In a few weeks our first son will…

I will post some more after this ordination debaucle. Here is Carter at camp where he learned about his favorite toy-dirt. Future guitar player. The weather has…
What day you may ask (as if people actually read this blog-I know, I read my blog stats)? On Friday at 1:00 several pastors from the intermountain area will gather together to listen to me wax eloquent in Theology and other saintly discussions only to then tie me to the totem pole and lash away. Now, if I were speaking…
My ten month old son was born with a fiercely competitive personality. Not competing with other babies in the nursery so much as fiercely competing with himself. When he was but a couple of days old, he could not tolerate being swaddled. At only two days old he was lifting up his head with his eyes wide open trying to…
Isaiah 66:1-2 “Thus says the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that you build unto me? and where is the place of my rest? For all those things has my hand made, and all those things have been, says the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to…
