Golf fore Green

Our church is currently seeking to buy a larger building and 21 acres of land for growth and expansion. We need to raise a lot of money for this purchase. So to do my part, I am going to golf fore green. Take a look at the video. I need […]

Vantage Point

Recently, my oldest daughter sprained her foot pretty badly. I have done that many times and it is a slow painful recovery. The worst part is that she is in the middle of her soccer season and isn’t able to play. Today, I decided to take her to the game […]

It’s all new

As you can tell, the site is completely different. The design is completely different and we are now hosting this site on a new server. The reason for this is to enable me to do more with this page. If you previously subscribed to this blog, you will need to […]

More on Debt…

This past Sunday I spoke on “Closing the Door on Debt”.  After the message I heard a few responses that led me to expound a little more on debt.  It is impossible to address every unique situation in a 30 minute message.  For many, debt is a real issue.  But […]
