I don’t always like marketer’s observations about business and church, but Seth Godin’s latest struck me as piercingly relevant to the kind of ministry I spend a lot of time thinking about: Here’s what he wrote: Every once in a while someone will say to me, “yeah, sure, I’ve heard that before… what do you have that’s new?” [...]
I received this from one of the youth group moms – I really appreciate the ministry of prayer that so many of our leaders and parents have – I encourage you to pray these with us. Salvation. ”Lord, let salvation spring up within my children, that they may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal [...]
I try to send out a weekly email to our youth leaders… It doesn’t always get out, but here’s what I sent them this week. The pictures are extra… captured in Senior High Sunday School and modified by the very funny Mr. Douglas McVey. Youth Ministry Coach Thought - Visit to A Prayer Therapist: This week [...]
This year I took on a different role – speaker. I loved it. I spent a week at beautiful Camp Spofford in NH where Colette really enjoyed running around in and out of a lake. It was really amazing – There were about 100 kids between ages 8 and 12.

I’m really thankful to the leaders, especially EmLam who made it all happen – but enjoy these – our kids are [...]
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Proverbs 18:21 Every spoken word is an attack in a battle that is a War of Words between God and Satan. For the last two weeks I’ve been trying to teach students that their words have incredible [...]
The longer I work with students the more I am aware of how much we need to trust God. I think St. Paul says it like this – “I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase” (1Cor 3:6). Obviously he’s referring to a specific group of people that he had a relationship with, [...]
Check out this picture of one of my sister in law — whenever I see it I feel inspired to do something awesome. Did anyone else notice the facebook news feed today? January has others feeling inspired too. Everyone was squawking about their new year’s resolutions, everything from reading through the Bible in a year [...]
I regret I didn’t live up to my word. I promised a blog post by 2010 and here I am, almost 3 days into January and just getting around to a hasty update. As I get used to my new planner, I am thinking about how fast the years have gone since 2000. I rang [...]
