Book Review: Enemies of the Heart by Andy Stanley
Andy Stanley’s “Enemies of the Heart” will be a useful book to many … if they make it through. Andy has an easy style in his speaking and writing. It certainly comes through in the book.

Observations from My First 5K
July 4, 2012 – the day after my 50th birthday. I woke up early to do something I’d never done before – participate in a 5k run. To say that I ran in a 5k would be somewhat of an exaggeration. Oh, I did run, sort of. Basically, I accomplished my goal …. I finished.… Continue reading

Dominican Republic Mission Trip – Day 7

Dominican Republic Trip – Day 2
We got off to an easy start today. Because of the long travel day yesterday, we took our time getting going. It was not time wasted. We fellowshiped over a good breakfast (the pineapple and papaya are great!) After our devotion and some discussion of the day, we loaded on the bus for a 45… Continue reading
