I haven’t seen Kung Fu Panda 2 yet. I really want to, and from trusted sources have heard that it’s at least as good as the first. But any time I get news that could go either way depending on how I take it, I’m immediately taken back to the scene in the first Kung… [Read more…]

Last week I promised we’d do some more looking at the different elements to our Get off Your Donkey (GOYD from here on) series we walked through with the teens during the month of March. Each week we highlighted a different life or lives in the Bible where they specifically chose to GOYD. Our first… [Read more…]

Had a great time getting an opportunity to speak in our main worship services yesterday here at Greeley Wesleyan Church. It’s always exciting and fun, and I am super blessed to have a Lead Pastor who has enough confidence in me to allow me to speak to the congregation he’s been entrusted with. The validation… [Read more…]

We’ve been doing a line of discussion together in the Highway the past few weeks called “Get Off Your Donkey.” The phrase of course has a funny connotation but the message is even better.

Through a youth pastor network I participate in I found out about a young youth pastor in El Cajon, California who recently died as a result of anaphylactic shock from a bee sting. 26 year old Michael Hendricks left behind a wife and a 7 WEEK OLD baby girl. He hadn’t done anything wrong, wasn’t… [Read more…]

Doesn’t it seem sometimes we spend so much time looking forward into the future that we miss the present? Sure, there’s something to be said for planning and being prepared, and I’m not talking about brushing off responsibility to be lazy and say “Well I’m just not gonna worry about things, they’ll all work themselves… [Read more…]

Do you ever get so overwhelmed with tasks, calendar items and needs stacked on your shoulder that you think your head might explode? This past month has been that way for us/me. We moved into a new home the middle of March, busied ourselves with moving and unpacking, I was in preparation for the Follow… [Read more…]

“I’ll do better next time, I promise” “Sorry man, but I’m not gonna be able to make it like I said I could.” “Things will be different when I…” “If I just had THIS (fill in the blank) I’d be so much happier!” There’s no coincidence I felt the need to drop this bomb this… [Read more…]
