Some mornings, events conspire against you to bring you to God. Every morning, at 4:45am I walk my dog. I actually appreciate this time because it gives me a chance to pray and talk with God. Usually it’s a one-way thanks and praise session and I wonder sometimes that I don’t have a chance to [...]

What an amazing week. Things are happening for our little clan, behind the scenes right now. I can’t talk too much about it because much is still up in the air, but expect to hear about some significant steps coming in the next little while. This dream of church planting is solidifying. Even recently, it’s [...]
I encountered this article in a 2000 issue of a Church Planting newsletter produced by Outreach Canada. Definitely food for thought. What did you do last summer? At first you may think what Alan Braun did last summer can’t be reproduced. But perhaps it can… Large Volunteer Core Recruited Alan is pastor of Abundant Life [...]
I had some very nice feedback by two men I respect after I preached yesterday. It was constructive and I appreciated it a lot. But the most important feedback I had was from my wife. She said, “In my eyes, you became a pastor today.” Nothing else matters. If she believes in me and God [...]

Mondays are definitely becoming a debriefing day for me. It gives me a chance to reflect on all that went on Sunday – and the way we do church up here, a LOT happens on Sundays. The discipleship class I teach is proceeding really fast. I feel like anytime I have less than 4 people [...]

I went to work and sat at my desk for nine hours today, in an effort to make up for how badly sales have gone this month. I made seven dollars. Was it worth it? I asked myself as I drove home, was the fact that I was at work an expression of a lack [...]
The good news: another major shipment of Awana gear arrived yesterday. It’s been tough trying to ad hoc things while we wait for all the delayed materials to arrive. Still, in some ways it’s just in time as we had a recognition ceremony at the end of the last club meeting, giving prizes to kids [...]
