American idol begins tomorrow night.  Don’t you love watching all those horrible wanna-be singers who have been deceived into believing they actually have singing talent?

Whirlwind trip to SC

This past Thursday, Andrea, her mom, her sisters, our kids and I went to Anderson, SC, to visit Andrea’s grandmother (Nanny) in the hospital.   She’s trying to recover from emergency appendix surgery a few weeks ago.  She’s 95 and is having a hard time recovering.  She contracted a staph infection this week and they also [...]

Anniversary

On Sunday, Andrea and I celebrated 17 years of marriage!  It’s hard to believe so much time has passed by so quickly.
We’ve had some terrific times in those 17 years.

In response to my words of encouragement to [...]

Adoption #2

About six years ago, our family began sponsoring a World Vision child named David Castro. He lives in Bolivia.  We consider it an adoption of sorts.  Each month we send $26 through World Vision to assist his family.  We also sent an extra amount directly to the family so they could purchase some much needed [...]

Groups Ministry

Sunday, we looked at Acts 11:19-30 to get some insight on small group ministry.  Though the Scripture does not specifically say anything about small groups in this passage, the principles shown are significant because of interpersonal ministry and group discipleship.  Here are some of the things we see in the Scripture:

People sharing their faith: Those [...]

My other job title

I was talking to some of the employees at a local restaurant the other day.  They asked what I do for a living.  I told them I am an Eternity Consultant.
