One thing that has really impressed me about the staff at the Andover YMCA is the culture of responsibility. I have secretly been watching these folks while I hand out bottles of water to patrons. I have been watching how each of them takes responsibility. Here’s what I mean: These people are constantly moving. If [...]
Here’s my first thought. The YMCA in Andover knows it’s brand. It’s everywhere you look, they are trying to build strong kids, strong families, and strong communities. They use the vehicle of exercise to reach this end goal. As you walk around the facility, everything cry’s out for community, families and kids. They have video [...]

The facility is amazing, everything is state of the art. This YMCA is the newest addition to Wichita’s phenomenal array of successful [...]
So, today, Jenni and I went to Lowes to prepare for our next big yard work day. We pulled up to the parking lot, get out, and hear girls screaming. I can’t see where it’s coming from. I go to get a cart and see that there is a group of girls getting in a [...]
So, let me just apologize that you have to hear me singing with Peter. Since he was really little, I would sing him this song and he would stop crying to listen to it. Lately, he has started to sing along and I have to say – he’s pretty good! At the very end he [...]
I was thinking today about how unbelievable some of the miracles in the bible are. Whales eating a guy and spitting him back on shore, bodies of water splitting and the land drying up so that people could walk across it, and many more. At first I was thinking about how hard it is to [...]
I was reading Acts 16 today where Paul and Silas get thrown in Jail. I don’t know how Paul and Silas would have classified this day before the jail doors threw open. I know I would have put it in the “bad day” category. I would have sung songs and prayed, but only because I [...]
Humming along at Panera this morning. Working fast and furious, when all of the sudden a noise not dissimilar to that of a tornado siren broke the silence. It pierced ears, shattered glasses and made small children cry. Actually, most people just looked up from their cup of coffee or newspaper and looked around with [...]
After being down for some time, the donations online are now working. Sorry for those of you who this has affected. All the issues have been resolved that were causing the links to not work.
Today I start working at Panera in the afternoons – if you want some bread or soup – stop by and look for me along the back wall! I would love to see you here!!! Mmmm… Iced tea…
