We’ll I have an official speaker site, willspeakforfood.blogspot.com.
For the people who know me you may look at this and think it was just a slow day at Cutter & Buck, but I assure you, that it is more that that. Hopefully, and prayerfully, opportunities will arise for me to share my love of the Bible [...]

So I was thinking about camp speakers and how much they must have, especially if it’s not their full-time gig. Think about it, they get paid to go and talk about Jesus and hang out with kids for a week, sometimes they aren’t even asked to hang out, they just go and talk.
Motivational speakers too, [...]

Getting Ready for Camp

Camp, camp, camp, always fun and full of adventure. I’m praying that all the details come together because right now I don’t know how that’s going to happen.
I have been jerked around by this company that I’m ordering innertubes from. First they never told me that they couldn’t complete my order so when I called [...]

Sad

This has been a tragic couple of weeks, I don’t really know what to say, but this seemed appropriate. I’m not one to create armaggedon scenarios, but the situation in the middle east is dire, and it seems like no one really wants peace.

I’ve basically finished McLaren’s The Secret Message of Jesus, I just have the apendices left and I rarely ever read those so I’m as good as done.
It was a thought provoking book, and I gotta say, not as controversial as I thought it would be. McLaren definetly paints a picture of Jesus that [...]

I just went back and loked over some of my old posts. Wow, it seems like a long time ago. It’s funny how things that I thought were going to be huge panned out to not much and the things that I thought were going to be not much turned out to be huge. I [...]

Clark Kent Moment

So today I realized that Clark Kent could get away with people not knowing he was Superman by just wearing glasses. I was walking down in freemont before work and this lady who was taking signatures for a survey stopped me and tried to convince me to join whatever organization she was working for. [...]

Monday Morning

Man monday mornings are rough. I’m on my second cup of coffee and I still don’t feel like I’ve woken up. The reason the mondays are so rough is because our youth ministry meets on sunday nights. So Sunday is usually about a 9 hour work day for me, so monday’s pretty tough. But it’s [...]

Well I finished McLaren’s A Generous Orthodoxy. I was please to read it and not feel angry or upset in anyway. That usually qualifies as a win in my book. There was some stuff that I didn’t fully agree with, and there were some things that I think we were really close [...]

Well everyonce in a while I have a God moment where I know that he wants to use me and I just need to trust him. And today was one of those. An old friend called and wants to talk about some lifestyle decisions that he has made.
I have been praying for this friend for [...]
