Can No = Yes?
When Barry and I came to California to interview for the ministry position at our current church, we fell in love with everyone and everything immediately. We realized within hours of our arrival that we were home. During that weekend we engaged in a number of conversations with the elders and pastors, church leaders and youth. [...]
Are You Afraid Too?
I am Afraid...but I don't want to be... Recently I logged on to Anne Jackson's blog and read an old post titled "Are You Afraid to be Amazing?" Anne's blog is wonderful and if you would like to check it out, you can click here. Here's the excerpt from Anne's post that got my attention: I wish I had [...]
Barry’s Post
Storms reveal the god we serve. My god was clearly people; specifically pastors and leaders I served in my mid and late 20's. But, really...it came down to ME.

It seems like all the bad stuff just suddenly emerges [...]

Champion for the People
I heard a phrase today and it has stuck with me all afternoon. It was used to describe one of the church staff members . The phrase was "Champion for the People." My heart was instantly moved at this thought. One of my favorite scripture verses about Jesus is where He is referred to as [...]
Heartache to Healing
Update: The My Story Page is no longer password protected. Thanks - Jana Over the last week, I've corresponded with a number of people regarding a new page on my blog. It's titled My Story... To be perfectly honest it should be called Our Story because so many people I know can relate. I wish [...]
