Wednesdays w/ Wright

A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, “Why were you going so fast?” I said, “See this thing my foot is on? It’s called an accelerator. When you push down on it, it sends more gas to the engine. The whole car just takes right off. And see this thing? This steers it.” S.Continue reading “Wednesdays w/ Wright”

Snowing . . . Again, February 28th — Huh?

So here we are a day before March, when the Seattle area is generally raining and warming up. But here we are yet again with snow. I can’t figure out what’s going on this year with weather. It’s crazy, and it always seems to be snowing on Wednesdays which has messed up Transit more thanContinue reading “Snowing . . . Again, February 28th — Huh?”

Slowing down the pace of youth ministry

Really youth ministry happens through relationships. Tonight I was privledge to hang out with one of our guys, Jordan, who rocks. We played some Wii and we talked about our cell groups.

We meet in cell groups 3 out of 4 weeks and it’s happening but it’s not really working the way I want it to. I received an email from one of our students and I also talked withContinue reading “When it rains it pours”

Tomb of Jesus

There has been much hub-bub about the “Tomb of Jesus” and I wanted to think about a good response to it, but Challies dot com got it pretty good. If this is something you are interested in, please take a minute to read this post. My basic take on it, is that Jeshua was aContinue reading “Tomb of Jesus”

Mondays w/ Mitch

I rent a lot of cars, but I don’t always know everything about them. So a lot of times, I drive for like ten miles with the emergency brake on. That doesn’t say a lot for me, but it really doesn’t say a lot for the emergency brake. It’s really not an emergency brake, it’sContinue reading “Mondays w/ Mitch”

Winter Camp 07 – recap

Well it’s been a couple of days, and I haven’t posted on Winter Camp yet. Honestly, this was one of the best camps that I have ever been it. I am incredibly grateful that Tim Wicks invited our ministry to be a part of this incredible Camp. Jeffrey Portmann was the speaker, as always heContinue reading “Winter Camp 07 – recap”
