I wanted to post something else so that last post isn’t lingering at the top. In fact, I am still struggling with whether to keep it up or delete it, but it stays for the moment. But this is what I wanted to post before all that stuff happened.
I am tremendously encouraged by what is going on in our [...]

Frustrated & Angry
Posted in Pastoral Reflections on June 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »
I hesitate to write a post like this because it will probably come back to bite me and so I will try to be as careful as I can, while sharing my feelings, but even so….
I am angry at Satan and frustrated with the people who are letting him use them to cause division in [...]
Two More Reasons to Love the Internet
Posted in Media & Technology on June 22, 2007 | 3 Comments »
I have recently been turned on to two free media sites that I am totally digging. My friend and colleague, Bob Evans, told me about SermonPlayer – a free site for uploading and streaming your sermons. It’s a pretty sweet site. I have uploaded a dozen or so of my sermons so far (link also [...]

My wife, Heidi, is doing Strengthfinder for a pastors wives network she is a part of. I did Strenthfinder about 5 years ago when I was in seminary, so I dug out the results so we could compare. In doing so, I came across some assessments and self-analysis papers I did my first year of [...]

It seems the people over at Pastor Resources found my “review” of The Bible Experience at my old blog and linked to it as a “pastor’s review.” Oh well. I should have known, I guess.
Family Devotions
Posted in Family on June 7, 2007 | 7 Comments »
We used to try and have family devotions every morning before school, but this past year was a struggle as there never seemed to be enough time. I became increasingly frustrated with our busy schedules and the fact that the public school had 7 hours a day to instill my oldest with their values and [...]

Posted in Rurality on June 6, 2007 | 1 Comment »
When we were considering the call to Cushing one of the church members kept emphasizing that this is a rural church, not a small town church. “What’s the difference?” I asked. “Well, for starters,” he answered, “You ever been snowed in for three days without seeing another soul?”
