A friend of mine at work gave me a sermon to listen to this week.  Another friend of mine told me that he visited a church with teaching that was decent but possibly light on doctrine.  These things had the wheels spinning this week.  The friend form work, gave me a sermon from a guy [...]

Today was an incredible fall day, my children went with their uncle and aunt to the pumpkin patch, and Brandy and I were able to stay home alone. We spent the morning hanging out, and talking which has been a blessing. God has been gracious to grow us so close together these past few years,and [...]

God has been so gracious leading us along the way.  We have seen miracles take place, answers to prayer over the past 6 years.  And now there is a valley that is deep and vast, but in this valley God has been merciful, and gracious.  In this valley God has stripped us of our self [...]

Today was the first day of school and I am thankful.  Oh not that it was the first day of school, the time off from school work was a blessing for my wife and the kids and everyone involved,  but it was quite an eventful summer. In the beginning of the Summer we had two [...]

We arrived home late Friday evening after an evening with my parents and brother and his wife, out on the town for my Mother’s retirement party. She was honored a week before Mother’s Day weekend. We picked the children up from their other grandma’s and made it home around 10:00 pm. Brandy and I made [...]

Last evening about 1:30 in the morning, I was awakened suddenly by my wife saying, “There’s a fire!” I think she had to shake me a couple of times because of my own unbelief, and grogginess. I soon rose to turn the lights on in my daughters’ room and I saw my youngest daughter sleeping [...]
