I forgot to take my pen and paper to conference tonight, so I don’t have notes on tonight’s ordination service. I will be the first to say I like the new format.

What’s really cool is that we began conference with communion.  The Parkway Worship Team led us in worship again.  Much more subdued than last night, but still excellent.  It has been great to catch up with all my friends across the district.  We have even gotten a chance to [...]

Wow!  What a cool day.  It seems that my sort of writer’s block has lifted. We had a great service this morning.  It’s was one of those mornings where the Holy Spirit had different ideas.  One of the reasons I dislike printing an order of worship.  I came to worship and to church that God [...]

    This morning, I want to change things up a bit. Cleve is coming to read this morning’s scripture, which can be found in Matthew 13:1-9 and 18-23:  1 Later that same day Jesus left the house and sat beside the lake. 2 A large crowd soon gathered around him, so he got into a boat. [...]

I haven’t written much about my new job with The Salvation Army yet.  At the beginning of June, the Lord opened the door for me to leave my position at Radioshack.  Like I said in an earlier post, I enjoyed my eight years there.  The door was opened by a meeting at a community yard [...]
