Our church wrapped up our yearly sports camp Thursday evening, and I got to invite the 5th graders to join me and the other youth leaders for a few events this summer designed just for them. The parents of all the children were gathered all around the watched the various teams step Read more
When I turned 40 Kim and the kids (only Levi, Lilly, and Sadie at that point) made me a little scrapbook. It had notes from each of them and a plan for the coming year. On the 27th (my day of birth) of each month they planned to take me Read more
A few of the Calvary pastors went away for a day-long meeting Tuesday, working on some big-picture things. I love these men, and love being part of a team with them.

The worship was sweet, Pastor Zac challenged students to actually TELL the good news (as opposed to simply letting their lives speak), and we had several more youth groups join us. My buddy Jarrod and his group hosted us Read more
Some women are destined for diamonds, perfume, and flowers; my lovely wife has chosen a different road. Oh, there are gems and fragrances and flowers, to be sure. But not the type you’d buy in a shop downtown. Kim had a definite gift in mind for Mother’s Day. If we had Read more
