Jenny and I have been working on creating an atmosphere in the prayer room. One of the things we have done is get supplies to build an alter. Those supplies happened to be patio cement slabs from our yard. As I moved them I had several things running through my head: I really need to work [ READ MORE ]
This past Sunday during the closing prayer and blessing I may have said gonads. Since then I have gotten several comments such as “I almost burst out laughing” “where do you come up with stuff” (answer Acts 26) or my favorite “Did you realize you were talking about getting kicked in the gonads during your [ READ MORE ]
To understand the significance of this story you must realize that Lydia LOVES her Lion. I remember picking her Lion out and praying that God would some how be close to her via a stuffed animal.

We had a packed day at thebridge – here is the run down. We had a new connector card ready to go but I couldn’t get it to print – so that will get launched next week or the first week of September. Maybe I should try printing sooner than Sunday morning. We added the application to [ READ MORE ]
Thursday night I went to the Drop Like Stars Tour by Rob Bell with my friend Travis. I wasn’t sure what to expect as this was the first time I had seen Bell on a non conference or Sunday morning setting. The atmosphere was pretty cool and the below picture is of two friends Dan [ READ MORE ]
This Sunday we will be starting a two week series entitled “VOW.” It is my hope that this series pushes many of us in our relationship with the Lord. What would it look like if we would move beyond the going through the motions Christianity? What would it look like if we made an effort [ READ MORE ]
Yesterday looked a lot different for me as I drove back to the mother/sister church to teach their four services. Here is the low down. Woke up early. WAY TO EARLY! I was wide awake at 2:15 and had trouble sleeping after that. Got my McDonalds a little earlier than normal and paid about a dollar more [ READ MORE ]
