Where have I been?

This is the way you recover after a tooth extraction (below) ... Yes the buldging cheek is not from falling off our go cart - it's from having a tooth extracted. And the croc's are not mine... OK -they are - but don't hold it against me... They are comfortable! But won't be shown again on this blog! I PROMISE!!!

This is my baby girl, Keziah (below) ... Does that not make a heart melt? I am a blessed husband and father!!! - yea - you can call this bragging! She is beautiful... but our prayer is that she will know her need for a Savior.



This is my big boy celebrating his 11th b-day. Yea, he is hoping to master the art of surfing. We have this tradition that dad decorates the dinning room on the night before the kids b-day's. It is a joy to serve the family in this way - but boy is it alot of work... coming up with something new each year. But very rewarding the next morning when the kids wake me at 4:30 AM to see if they can go and see what awaits them down stairs...


We have just returned from our family church camp where we ran the kids program. We had a wonderful time serving our church familiy. It is great serving the Lord!

Back to regular blogging shortly...

Happy Birthday to you...

Happy birthday Son!

What a fine young man you are turning into...

We love you!

Some GREAT QUESTIONS...

My wife and I were just speaking about this last night... How would you answer this question?

"If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence...?" - Keith Green

Now click here and view this interview with CJ Mahaney & John Piper... The question CJ is asking John Piper is regarding 'Radical Risk without Relocation' and what that looks like... WOW & AMEN!!!

An Interview on Cultivating Joy

If you have some time when you are at your desk & your not listening to something- click on the 'do it' in blue - and be encouraged as you listen to some men discussing the importance of pastors and leaders - cultivating joy. Here is the link - DO IT!!!

I hope you will be someone who intentionally cultivates joy...

For HIS Glory!!!
