It seemed like spring was on the way. Warmer days, sunshine, birds chirping. Then we remembered that spring in Happy Valley means lots of overcast, rainy, dreary days. And I love it! When the rains come down the creeks come up. That translates to days ripe for kayaking some of Read more…
As my birthday comes to a close, I’m a pretty content man. The day was filled with lots of reminders of the good things in my life, and the year has been one of some great/difficult/wonderful moments. Over the past 9 months I’ve moved back into youth ministry. The change Read more…
