Hollister or Bust

I’m in the great city of Hollister, MO, for a few days.  Hollister is just south of Branson and I’m actually on the campus of College of the Ozarks for a clergy leadership conference.  We are in session pretty much all day – 8 am to 9 pm – with breaks for meals and a [...]

Packing it all in

This week has been one of those weeks where I have to work hard to pack it all in!  It truly has been non-stop both at work and outside of work (which in most ways was work related.)   I’m looking forward to slowing down Sunday afternoon and evening.  It has been a good week with [...]

Tuesday Fun

Tuesday nights are fun at my house.  I love my youth!  I got home from the Y around 6:45 and one was waiting.  Then by 7 (mind you, c-groups start at 7:30 pm), I had three guys in the kitchen and we were having a grand time doing absolutely nothing.  I was making puppy chow [...]

Relaxing Sundays

I enjoy have Sunday nights free in January.  No church responsibilities are a welcomed break.
I preached this morning and the Lord was gracious once again in using me share the Word. It was a good self-reminder message on the beauty of faith and the wonderful mystery of God. I struggle with appreciating the mystery [...]

Today was a packed Sunday.  This morning I drove to Montgomery City to preach.  I enjoy going to new areas of Missouri that I have not been before and I enjoy meeting new folks.  It was a nice morning and they were a very hospitable congregation.  The preaching went well and each time is a [...]

Golf in January

What a gorgeous winter day!  I love winter days in the 50s and 60s.
With a warm and sunny afternoon, I played frisbee golf with some friends.  What fun!  I’ve never played frisbee golf but I do think I could become a big fan.  Actually, anything active and competitive is appealing to me.  [...]

Catch Up

I know it has been over a week since I posted last.  It has been a busy time with most evenings full with meetings and other things.  By the time I can post, I’m tired and not able to gather coherent thoughts.  Although some might argue my thoughts are not very coherent even when I’ve [...]
