Yes, this is the longest my blog has been quiet in a long time. I was cool being at Victory Mountain Camp this week. We had no internet access. There was only one TV. We watched the Colts and Patriots on Sunday night and that was it. There was some cell phone service. So, I [...]

I’ve spent the last several hours preparing for tomorrow. Saturday evening is always preparation time.

This is the title of a book I read several years ago in preparation for my Wesleyan Church History class through FLAME. I’ve been thinking about influence lately and I’ll be writing more in the coming weeks. In looking at a few of the blogs I read on a regular basis several mention the importance [...]

I’ve said before for some reason God keeps bringing me back to youth ministry. We have broadened our scope to call it student ministries. This covers students from Kindergarten to 12th grade. After the past few weeks, I was dreading tonight. It’s been a bit difficult over the past few times we have gotten together. [...]
