The week between Christmas and New Years is typically pretty quiet around the church. So, I have chosen to take some time and spend with my family and also getting some things done around the house. I will be in the office some this week, but I am unplugging a bit. So all that to [...]

My Son the Poet
Posted in Family, Parenting on November 1, 2011 | 4 Comments »
Some days, being a father is hard work. Some days – it’s not fun. You know those days – one child has to be at practice at the same time one of the others has to have a parent at the school for a meeting. Then in the midst of all that, one of the [...]
Nailed It!

Last Friday, I spent the day working on the house. We are doing some remodeling and so I had plenty to do. When Kristi got off work, she and Ethan joined me. I put Ethan to work cutting some 2×4′s in order to frame up a wall to make a closet. He did a great [...]
Concrete, Jack-hammer and My Son
Posted in Family on October 19, 2011 | 2 Comments »
Yesterday, I told you about my concrete saw trials. What I did not tell you is that I did finally get the concrete cut in the bathroom. Unfortunately, I did not return to that particular project until last night. But, I had help! Some help came from an 80 pound electric jack hammer. But most [...]
Take a Break from Pressing Forward
Posted in Church, Community, Family, Formation on September 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »
Most of the time, my mind and heart are focused on pushing forward – never being satisfied with the way things are and where I stand in my relationship with God, in my family life and in my work. I approach my leadership with the church in the same way – we cannot sit and [...]

Back in the saddle and tired! Have you ever returned from “vacation” and were glad to be home so that you could rest? That is the story of our family after the last two days of our trip to Washington. My final board meeting of the trip was on Wednesday last week and then we [...]

This week has been crazy. I have been attending the National Association of Church Business Administration conference in Washington, DC. We wrap up today with our Board meeting. The workshops have been fantastic and the speakers have all been top-notch. I will be heading back home with some new ideas and even better, recharged and [...]
Noise in a Restaurant

This past Sunday was Father’s Day. The plan for my family was to gather together at lunch. I had some steaks marinating and ready for the grill and so the plan was to cook out and eat lunch together. When I entered the church building on Sunday, it was a beautiful day. When we exited [...]
Golf + Sons = Great Morning
Posted in Family, Parenting on June 3, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
For the last several weeks, my youngest son has been asking me to take him to play golf. I have been so busy getting started in my new ministry position and trying to get the house ready to sell that there hasn’t been much time – or at least, I have not made the time. [...]
Children and Spiritual Progression
Posted in Family, Formation on May 10, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
This past Sunday, part of the message I gave to our church family was one of the importance of training our children on spiritual matters. Most parents realize and believe it is their responsibility to make sure their children are trained spiritually, but few actually take steps to do anything about it. The majority of [...]
