So after a long summer and fall break from speaking at Churchatbethany, I told Matt Payne (my pastor) I would cover for him on December 6th because he was going a New Thing event somewhere in the East . I accepted the responsibility before Thanksgiving and anticipated spending a decent amount of time over the [...]

Dear Men,
I feel like my voice has been awakened for you. The faithful, strong, loving husbands and fathers.
You know who you are.
You are the type who treat people with respect even when they don’t deserve it. You turn the other cheek frequently and take care of your business (at least the business that you know [...]
Preaching Confessional

Today was an experience to be remembered.
I woke up early and angry. Strange combination huh? Anyway, I wanted to practice my sermon a few times before the kids got up and totally distracted me. Of course, being angry it was really hard to get my mind wrapped around the sermon. So, I spent a few [...]
Home Sweet Home

Home is a very happy place for me. I have learned to slow down and appreciate the little things in life. Making lots of money vs. making lots of memories, What is more important in the end?
If you were to die tomorrow, what would you regret about your life? Who would you wish you had [...]
Heavy Heart

This will be short. I am sorry for not updating recently and don’t really have a good reason.
My reality has been turned upside down. I have a hole in my heart that only God can fill for me. Thank God for Todd Hoffman and his country get away in Sandy, OR. He has been so [...]

I just wanted to make a couple comments about Matt Payne’s message in church today. You can find it on podcast by tomorrow on the website of Church!@bethany if you want to hear it.
He started the message this morning with a story that blew me a way. A few years ago a man was found [...]
Letter From the Boss!

I received this email while on my field trip up at Univera Headquarters in Lacey, WA yesterday afternoon. I almost burst out laughing in front of 300 people and the CEO of the company. Please read and keep out of reach of teenage boys due to some graphic language.
Dear Husband…
I’m sure you are suffering [...]

I got this link from a twitter friend this morning and thought it was thought provoking. USA Today with a recent poll on Christianity and different views regarding how to achieve salvation.
What do you believe?
Vacation Update #2

Happy New Year!
This is the slowest pace of life I have experienced for a long time here at Eagle Crest! It is nice but I get a little bored too. Only one computer can be online at a time plus I left my power cord for my laptop at home. Pretty Lame.
I did get some [...]
