Tomorrow we begin a series on stewardship. While usually these types of series are done at the beginning of the calendar year, I thought we would try this series near the beginning of our church fiscal year. Each year the Department of Stewardship Ministries at headquarters sends us a CD with all the info for [...]

Beginning tomorrow, Rebecca begins her job at the local KFC and beginning Tuesday I begin my new adventure at the Salvation Army Thrift Store. I am really looking forward to the change. Next week, I do finish up my time a RadioShack. It’s been seven good years, but time for a change. The move to [...]

Monday I wrote about the adventure it is to go shopping anymore and the expertise it takes to make meals go further. Monday morning we took James along grocery shopping and showed him how to shop for the best value. I already posted about the poor man’s surf and turf we had for our Memorial [...]

If you look over at the blogroll section on the right, you will see that I have several different categories of links — some are leadership oriented, some Wesleyan oriented, some small/rural church oriented and so on. Recently, I stumbled upon this worship blog. Rich Kirkpatrick is a worship leader and has written a thought [...]
Wednesday Mosaic Update

To say that I was concerned with the number of students who showed up would be an understatement. It appears that Mosaic has hit a bump in the road. Tonight we had 9 students and 8 staff people. If you’ve been following this blog, you know that Wednesday nights have dropped off from the days [...]

This morning’s video is just me at Frankfort, IN. By Thursday morning my voice was a little rough. I’m not used to singing with a band and so I over exerted my voice the first couple of days. This has happened at several FLAMEs. As I go this summer, I’m going to try to remember [...]

Yesterday Rebecca who is almost twenty decided to go back to her childhood. She went in to Anna’s room play with their American Girl Dolls. It is something the girls used to do to, but they would usually end in a fight. Rebecca thought it would be great to have Anna come in to play [...]

I think I have your interest now. Pam and I were up early and so was James, but he’s always up early. We decided to take James with us grocery shopping. Before we did we stopped at our local fast food breakfast joint, Biscuitville. This is a North Carolina/Southern Virginia chain that serves breakfast and [...]

Today I watched an interesting exchange in my email inbox. It’s always interesting to see who is sending emails and what they are sending and yes, I get my share of forwards and this is not a complaint. Just know that typically if you forward an email to me, I probably won’t forward it on [...]
