Wow. 9 years is a long time. It is 27% of my life so far. It’s amazing to think about the journey that God has led Creekside and my family on. When I started at Creekside as the youth pastor I really had no idea that my role would grow and change as much asContinue reading “9 Years at Creekside”

My Best Friend
Tonight (Saturday Jan. 1, 2011) my parents were kind enough to watch our kids for the evening. I know I’ve said it before, but Kathy and I are truly blessed to have so much family living so close.

Leaving on a Jet Plane
