Monday Morning Thoughts

I spoke again yesterday at Creekside.  It was fun.  But if I’m completely honest it wasn’t my best prepared message.  I had a terrible time writing an ending.  All week that was my biggest struggle.  But I also feel like I had too much content.  But I was talking about teenagers and adolescence and parenting. Continue reading “Monday Morning Thoughts”

Preaching again this Sunday

Wow, got a back to back thing going on at Creekside.  This week I am talking about living with Teenagers.  I think it will be helpful and encouraging.  I don’t really have a lot of opportunities to talk specifically about students with our church.  I am praying that my heart for our students will beContinue reading “Preaching again this Sunday”

Overwhelmed with Parenting

This parenting Series at creekside has been really great.  Especially since I am a new-ish parent.  I’m always learning.  I’m preaching this sunday and next sunday.  And I am being overwhelmed by how big a job parenting is. I’m bt no means an expert, but God has so much wisdom to give us.  I gottaContinue reading “Overwhelmed with Parenting”
