On Monday, we went hiking up Bell’s Canyon to see a beautiful waterfall. I was reminded of Hebrews 4 where the author tells us to labor that we might enter into the rest, however there will be some who fall short of it. Why would this hike remind me of this Scripture? As Bonnie and I strapped on the two…

A couple of weeks ago, we were able to take the family down to Moab, UT for a little vacation. We hiked a lot of the trails in Arches National Park (kids are a lot heavier on steep slickrock) and had a great time, here are some pictures to enjoy. Arriving in Downtown Moab At the Visitor’s Center getting…
Well, I promised that I would put some more pictures of the boys when I got them on my computer, so here they are. They are so fun, and also a handful. Bonnie stays so busy all day, just trying to keep up with them. She is such a good wife and mother. I am so blessed to have such…
We went to Wyoming for a New Year’s celebration. Too bad both boys were sick. Carter had a little bit of pneumonia, and Lucas had a really bad cold. I will post some pictures of the best boys in the world to try to boost my hit count on the blog. Carter helping fix eggs for breakfast. Grandma is very…
Carter and I spent my day off this past Monday making “snowpeople.” We had a blast! My boys will only be this age once in their life. With Lucas it is that precious stage of just being held all the time and with Carter that discovery age where every car that passes by is a “wow” and every snow flake…
The reason that I have not updated this page in a while is the business of the building project. Those pastors who have engaged in a building project are well-aware as to how stressful and frustrating something like this can be. Praise God that we are on the tail-end. With that being said, my family is taking a vacation. We…
It is hard to believe that 28 years ago yesterday, my loving mother was putting her life on the line to bring a baby boy into the world. I have always wondered why we get presents on our birthday-I did nothing to come into this world. In fact, I never even faced the trauma of the birth canal. My mom…
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 just can’t get over it! God has given Bonnie and I the most precious, adorable, funniest kid. At approximately 11 months old, he is a mover. Here are some pictures of his favorite things to do. climbing in the mushroom chairs attacking mommy and daddy Running around outside Looking for bugs playing in the leaves
I thought I would post some pictures of Carter for all the CSJ fans out there. Bear in mind, these pictures are about a month old and he has really changed since then. 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…
