Friday morning I left for Rosarito, Mexico for Michael Welles’ bachelor party. We spent one night at the McDowell family’s condo down there. We had the best tacos ever at Tacos el Yaqui. It was seriously amazing. Then we hung out down on the beach at La Fonda before eating dinner at the La Fonda [...]

I like these pics Bea took.

So I think I’m gonna try just journaling my days on my blog just to get me going. We’ll see. Today is Tuesday or should I say “Meeting Day.” Tuesday is meeting day in my life. But before my meetings I hung out with my family a bit in the morning. It was actually a wildly [...]

Oh summer, I love you. I can’t wait until you are here. One more week and you will be with me. Waking up at 5:00am every day will be gone for your season. My wife, kids and I will enjoy mornings together without stress and hurry. Oh summer, I love you. Come quickly.

We just got back today from a great week in Hawaii. I highly encourage you to go to Bea’s Blog for some awesome photos. My highlights: 1.

We leave on Monday for the big island of Hawaii. I have never been to the big island before. I have been to Kauaii, Maui and Oahu – a few times each. I am excited to check out the island of Hawaii. I have heard that it’s very dry near Kona where we are going [...]

Sliders are so precious and cute. I want to eat them up. What is it about these baby burgers that makes us love them so much, makes ME love them so much. I like to make them at home with King’s Hawaiian Dinner Rolls and ground turkey with a bit of apricot jam mixed into [...]

I just bought a new Bible for everyday reading. Not for office study. I wanted one that I could lay down on the beach or in bed or sit in a comfy chair and read the same way I would a novel. So it had to be a relatively small size but not have a [...]

My desk is a mess, but I feel totally organized. My finances are really tight and I want to trust God, but I get nervous about things more than I used to. My schedule is busy, but I am fighting for my family time. My friends are important to me, but I feel like I never see half [...]

I preached today on Nehemiah 2 and I feel like it went well. We mixed it up and had the sermon right after the first song. It was kind of cool for me to get up right at the beginning like that. Then we got our iPhones today which was pretty cool too. I love it [...]
