We finally got some rain today.  I love the rain.  Today’s was a gentle, drizzley rain.  It fell most of the day, with just a little break for us to be outside during football practice.
Rain refreshes the ground when it gets dry.  Our grass (which hasn’t needed a mowing for more than a month) is [...]

The summer season for middle school out at Harvest Fields has come to a close.  We had a good one, too!  Lots of students playing, singing, hearing from God, praying together, building good relationships…and smores.  Mmm…
We said goodbye to several leaders over the summer.  All of our senior girls left earlier this summer; most were [...]

My Bible journey has taken me to the part of the story where a young shepherd boy (anointed to be the next King of Israel) meets the son of the reigning King.  The bond between the two is immediate, and Jonathan loved David like he loved himself.  Sort of an odd friendship, considering the circumstances…

And today, Karl has deemed me the winner of the Wild Goose Chase book giveaway.  Read [...]

We went to the Spikes game Friday night.  They held a one-run lead with two outs in the top of [...]

I meant to post this some time back, but it’s worth a mention.
A couple of weeks ago, Kim and the girls went to the Spikes game.  Our friends at Good Steward Software were participating in a Going Green night.  Good Steward’s folks were giving away an ipod shuffle.  Interestingly, Lil had been saving her money [...]

King David was a prolific writer.  Poems, songs, prayers–the man could put the right words on the page.  Of course, it helps to be inspired by the Spirit of the Living God.
Today’s reading took me to Psalm 25.  David is heavy into the theme of DIRECTION for his life.  He declares his trust in God, [...]

Today was my day off, and since the grass hasn’t grown in a month, I took the day off from yardwork!  If you were looking for me today, you would have had to be in the water.
This morning I took a few high school guys out for an early morning (by high school guy standards) [...]
