I am ready for this semester to be over…the amount of schoolwork has killed me. I think this is the last semester I am going to be full-time.
Owen is starting to have a lot of humor…I am sure many of you have seen my or Rachel’s posts on twitter, facebook. He knows he is funny too – how do I [...]

I am fan of the band OneRepublic. And they have this song that I have absolutely been digging lately called Marching On. With lines like, “For those days we felt like a mistake, Those times when love’s what you hate, Somehow, We keep marchin on” or ” We’ll have the days we break, And we’ll have the scars to prove [...]

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.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Not much has changed with Rachel. She can open her eye a little when the doctor comes in. It doesn’t look pretty, but is definitely looking better than it did right after her surgery. Rachel didn’t feel well earlier today, but the nausea has kind of subsided for now. We were able to watch the services from our church back [...]

Sometimes the hardest thing for me to admit to is the fact that I don’t understand something. When I don’t understand I feel like I have done something wrong, or didn’t pay attention to the instructions and need them repeated again. When I don’t understand something I will research until I can figure it out – if I even can. [...]

I start Summer classes on Monday…I am trying to get through this as fast as I can. I learned that practice as a kid.
A great friend of mine is leaving for Costa Rica today. He is checking out a missions organization stationed there and to make the decision whether or not to move his family there. Please pray for him. [...]
