I’m at camp this week and found a second to get on and post. The week is going great! We have a wonderful bunch of kids and I can’t wait to see what God does in them. Last night we talked about how tempting the world can be but how rewarding it is to live [...]
A new study shows “22 percent of Americans say they NEVER (emphasis mine) go to church, the highest percentage ever recorded by the General Social Survey, conducted every two years by the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago” – and that is up from 17 percent in 2004.

There is this trailer park just outside of Garden City, I just can’t get it out of my mind. It is inbetween Holcomb & Garden. The people living there are living in 3rd world conditions. I feel like we have to do something about it, help those people – live out the love of Christ. [...]

Below is my letter to Bible Christian Church. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to write: Dear Friends and Family, It has been six years since I began working as the High School Youth Minister for Bible Christian Church. I have had the distinct pleasure of working with many of [...]

I was talking with a business friend today (he’s the kind of guy you want to learn from) about some of the practices they use to keep people satisfied and to encourage better business practices.
