Humbling Day

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

There’s days where I see God at work in such an incredible way that I can’t believe He’s allowed me to be a part of it. I’ll be the first to admit I’m in way over my head, and that it’s only God’s grace and power that is doing this. I’m so grateful to the Lord […]

Got […]

We Are The Champions

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

Today was the last basketball game for my two oldest boys. I’ve had a blast coaching them this year, I think I’ve had more fun than the coaches. We were playing for the championship, against a team that has beaten us both times we played them this year.
It was a nail-biter of a game, with […]

Luckiest Guy Around

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

15 years ago ago today I spent my first Valentine’s day with Lori. It was an incredible day, complete with a very creative date I planned to sweep her off her feet. It worked, and soon after we were engaged, then married.
Today, I’m amazed at how “lucky” (read blessed) I am to be married to […]

S.O.A.P. for kids

Friday, January 18th, 2008

We’ve been challenging our whole church to utilize the S.O.A.P. method of Bible study. If you missed it, go to www.pvcroute66.com and watch last week’s message where I explain this.  In our home, we’re doing daily Bible reading with our kids, and challenging our oldest boys to use the S.O.A.P. themselves. They’ve got their own […]

My Baby’s 2!

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

It’s so hard to believe, but my baby girl turned 2 today. When she was born, she grabbed a hold of my heart in a special way, and she hasn’t let go. I love each of my 3 boys, but life with a daughter is definitely different. I see it in her eyes, and I […]

Thankful

Tuesday, October 16th, 2007

I’ve always said (and meant) that if being a pastor was harmful to my family, I would find a new job. I’ve seen too many pastors sacrifice their marriages and children at the altar of ministry. Lori has shared with me over the years how her parents (dad was a pastor) made sure she was […]

Phone No Work

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Couldn’t find my phone all morning, until my baby daughter came walking in with it. Only problem, it was dripping wet. Apparently she decided to wash it for me
Oh well, what are you going to do. She’s just too dang cute to be mad at. So I guess I’ll be a few days […]

So Excited

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

Waking up with the cool mountain air this morning really refreshed me. I’ve had time this morning to do some thinking, and just dreaming about what God’s doing in my life, and what I believe He wants to do at Palm Valley. All I can tell you is, I’m excited. I’ve been stretched and grown […]

Long, great day

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

I left the house at about 5:30 a.m. Monday morning, and I just got home at 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. That’s a 20 hour day. I’m whooped. I was all over town, a ton of meetings, spent some time with potential staff in the morning, and current staff in the evening. It was a great day, […]
