There’s No Such Thing As A Great Idea…
When I was in high school, a friend of mine was gifted a fully-restored 1965 Mustang GT coupe as his first car. It was beatiful. Bright red. Bullit rims. Working ORIGINAL A/C. From the moment I rode it in, I wanted one. It took many years, but in 2000 I purchased my very own (and… Read More ›
A Season of Listening…
Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. (James 1:19) For the better part of the past 7-8 months, I have recognized the value of silence. This has been a hard lesson, because I love to talk. I love to voice my… Read More ›

Holding My Breath…
Three months ago, I jumped. I’d been involved in a church for 11 years as Creative Arts Pastor. For most of those years, I could never imagine doing anything else. But I jumped out.
