Lately I have felt like a failure when it comes to ministry. Some of it I think is just the post-Christmas blues. That and Dale and I are getting ready to go to FLAME and the devil is always seems to like to sow seeds of discouragement as we near FLAME. Yesterday I was driving [...]

Pam’s post yesterday morning got me to thinking. Yes, there’s a dangerous thing. What will history say about you? In her post, she stated that we are creating history every day — when we get up — when we work — when we play — when we worship — we are creating history. She made [...]

It was bound to happen sooner or later — I had a really bad night tonight. It all started with an 83 in the first game, followed by a 113 and then a 123 for a 319 series. I can’t remember the last time I bowled that poorly. Our team started in 9th place. We [...]
