…laboring for the gospel as it transforms me, my city, and my world for all of eternity…
Attending a school assembly is always fun. 60 minutes of clapping for kids you don’t know for getting awards like ‘Giving Their Best In All Subjects” is sheer excitement.
One thing today stuck out to me so much I wanted to share. At the end of the assembly, the principal pitted the K - 2nd graders [...]
Check out the blog post over at the Eternity site to catch the particulars.
I will also say here that it was amazing to see what God did last night. 16 months in the making and a lot of obstacles and opposition later, we worshipped together for the first time.
- To the band: You guys did [...]
As most folks have come to know in recent weeks, I am making a habit of hanging out at The Coffee Zone every morning and am thoroughly enjoying it.
This morning, thanks to a bonehead move on my part regarding taking care of my wife and ensuring that she is loved and cherished above all by [...]

So yesterday, I got the brilliant idea that I would go on a hike (really a walk) with a couple guys from Eternity. My reasoning was simple, since I’m going to Colorado to try and shoot one of these, I needed to start “training” for it.
Here’s the problem, I leave in five days. [...]
