Old Toys
I remember Christmas as a kid. Each unwrapped box held the potential to make all my wildest dreams come true. I would tear into each one with unchecked enthusiasm and ferocity until the toy was extracted that would change my life forever. Or at least that's what it...
Thanks for Visiting
Our lives are remarkably full. Through the course of them, we accumulate so much. I needed a place where I could unload my thoughts, opinions, revelations, and ideas so I created this site. I love to provoke people to reach farther, pray harder, dream bigger, and love stronger. My hope is that, somewhere among these stories, anecdotes, and sermons you’ll think, laugh, feel, and be inspired.
Thanks for taking the time.

2009 Ireland Missions Trip Day 5
Today the team hiked up the Hill of Slane to check out Slane Abbey, a great site where St. Patrick himself established a church. From it you can see for miles around. While the team was out hiking, I decided to get some laundry done. It took me 20 minutes just to...
