Welp, we took 15 of us to the beach, and we brought 15 back. Not too shabby. We call came back tanned and relaxed and refreshed and all the things you’re supposed to be when you come home from a stay at the beach. Including sunburnt/peely (ewww), a little sand Read more…
I mentioned that I’d share some of the learnings from our/my interaction with Terry Walling. He was in town Saturday to share with a large group of leaders from all of Calvary’s worship gatherings, and he stayed through Tuesday, when he met with Calvary’s staff plus a few other local Read more…
At some point last year one of the young ladies (hey Kel) in my lifegroup started talking about an upcoming roadtrip to see her favorite group. Now, as a music aficionado, I was fairly certain that I knew every group. Yes, I have a pretty high opinion of my musical Read more…
