This week Jen and I got our wedding photos back.  I thought we'd share some with you!

One of the nice things about being a pastor and being self-employed is that I get to work from home whenever I need to. Today I ran to the bank early while the snow was just beginning and got all my running around done.

I was on my way home from the rehearsal dinner (Nov. 21st) the evening before my wedding when something terrible happened.

I think that it's essential to our faith that we are real with one another and real before God.  I think there are 3 levels of being real.  The first is level involves masks.  It's about pretending to be something we're not.  It's about image and self-esteem.

All the stress from the economy seems to be making a lot of people fearful.  I don't believe that we have anything to fear.

Excitement is in the air.  Tonight I put a few finishing touches on our fall mailer invitations.  Our mailers will be going out early next week!  Below is a shot of my workspace this evening:

Today was a different kind of day.  I sang & played a song at a funeral service--"This Road" by Jars of Clay.  It was for Barb C's mother.  It's the same song I played in the same chapel 2 years ago at my great uncle's funeral.

Today wasn't perfect, but it was great. We started the morning off with a very frustrating issue. Our monitor amp got switched to mono! I know for you non-musicians, this may not sound like a big deal. It wouldn't have been a big deal if we knew that was the problem.

Yesterday we had a great time at Kingdom Bound.  Got a chance to see Third Day and Leeland.  Actually we saw Leeland 3 times--once on stage--once on the Viper and once just walking through the park.
