Have you seen this show? It seriously has to be one of the best shows on television right now and the fact that MTV produces it is (a) surprising – most of their shows are kind of like crap and (b) awesome – because the production quality is pretty stinkin sweet, the soundtrack is nice, and it is culturally relevant.

As I venture in new ministry roles at GracePoint Church I thought it might be time to give the blog a facelift and create it for more of a portal for everything I am doing…don’t know how long I will keep it this way but it’s a start.

This month, I embark on a new journey that I truly feel God has purposed for me. Over the past two years on staff at my church I have had different titles and served in different ministry areas. I knew two years ago that God was about to do great things with Rachel and I as we continued to pursue [...]

Getting back into the swing of this blogging thing is going to be tough…part of my goals for next year (we’ll see).
So in good ole’ fashioned tradition – I will share some of my THURSDAY THOUGHTS…

Excited for the possibilities in the new year. Excited for the changes too….More on that later (I promise).
Owen likes to sit on our porch when [...]

So – here we are…almost to the end of 2009. It is most definitely a year that both Rachel and I will never EVER forget. We definitely have a lot to celebrate together and we are both very excited to start a new year. We have new goals, expectations, hopes, and dreams. We have learned a lot both about faith [...]

For those of you that are not part of the social media phenom called Facebook, yet have access (and apparently time) to the internet, I will make things a little easier for you and offer an update – FROM RACHEL – on the news we recently received in St. Louis. So Rachel posted this lil’ ditty on her facebook page [...]

“My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.”Hosea 11:8

O, that our hearts would be turned over, that our lovelessness would be toppled, our hard-heartedness shattered, and our coldness melted by the compassions of God Himself!
O, to love You as you are, to love righteousness, justice, and compassion, and to love human souls as You do! Give [...]

So for those of you at GracePoint this morning, I told you I would post the 40+ New Testament verses that talk about this idea of “one another”. If you didn’t get the chance to join us this morning or are one of my friends from outside of the “GP NATION”, I will post the link to the video when [...]

Today is my 30th birthday. I never really thought of being thirty before until today. It doesn’t bother me at all, I still look like I am like 21-25, if I looked like I was 30, maybe I would be more upset. I received a text from my mom today -
“Happy Birthday. You were born at 10:59pm on a Saturday [...]

My blog is a seasonal blog – more of a portal anymore for people to come check up on myself or my family. I have a lot of thoughts – some I share out loud, some I keep to myself, and occasionally I will post them here.
God has really started breaking my heart for those that live in extreme poverty….in [...]
