Kids Pastor // Tech Director // Guy who loves orange
  • You are a masterpiece

    What are you good at? Go ahead! Take your time. Think about it. Write a few. I’ll wait right here. Did you write some? If so, Great! Let’s move on. If you didn’t. Stop reading… Seriously! Write what you are good at. Yes, it’s that important. Look at what you wrote. Consider whether they are creative.…

  • You need a reset

    The resident geek Along with being a Kid’s Pastor, I’m also the resident geek of the church I serve in. The proper term is tech director. But I prefer resident geek. And I’m ok with that! What I’m not ok with is when things don’t work tech wise. Technology is frustrating when refusing to cooperate — even more…

  • What do you do when you feel overwhelmed

    It’s a great question! Your response can either hinder or help you. It can diffuse or destroy. It can… You get the idea. But you need to think about it. Think about the stuff that overwhelms you. Is it a pile up of little things? Or something that’s more sizable? Maybe it’s the news. COVID. Riots.…

  • Don’t be overwhelmed with diapers and daughters…Have a Solomon moment instead!

    I have daughters. Three of them. Some days it’s easy. Some…not so much. But between both spectrums I have stories — a lot of stories from my time of being a dad of daughters. Most of which probably should just remain family stories. Let’s face it, my girls would probably not speak to me for the next…

  • Do not feed your dog Brussel Sprouts and then lie about it

    I don’t like Brussels sprouts. Wait. That’s not very accurate. I’ll try again. I hate them. I hated them as a kid. I hate them today. I’m like that guy in the Green Eggs and Ham book! Only I will never say I like Brussels sprouts. They are the most vilest of vegetables! I love…

  • My wife nearly had to get me out of jail

    Not really…But here’s something most people don’t know about my lovely bride… She has a great husband! I’m kidding…she has an awesome husband! Ok…seriously…when she was a kid she had a blood disorder called ITP. Don’t ask me to pronounce the full name or spell it. I could certainly Google it. It’s way too technical…

  • It’s the little things that make the biggest difference

    I drive to a local park on most mornings prior to going to the office. My purpose? To simply spend some time with God. I don’t do anything fabulous. It’s just a simple, quiet time. I talk to God about the day ahead of me. I give Him permission to guide me and do whatever…

  • You’ve got to invest intentionally

    We’ve all watched and read the news over the past three months since COVID became a thing in our culture. And it has indeed changed so many things. How we go about our daily routines is different. How we interact with each other is different. It’s all sort of depressing really. But it doesn’t have…

  • You can’t fix stupid

    I’ll bet you clicked on this post just because of the title! Tell me I’m wrong! Nevertheless, you followed through! And here you are. So you might as well keep on reading, right!? I’ll make it short. You can’t fix stupid. Short enough? Yea, you’re right. I’ll need to add a bit more. I’ve been…

  • Me and My Blackberry

    I miss my Blackberry. Immediately in that statement I reveal two things about myself. First, my inner geek comes out. I mean, come on! Who uses cell phone with a hardware keyboard anymore? Only a geek would do that. Only a geek would WANT to do that. Second I reveal my age. Yea, I’m getting…
