This past weekend, I led a group of seniors at my church, Champion Forest for their yearly disciple-now (called Freedom Weekend). The weekend was great (more to come…), and we were placed at a very nice house, to be succinct. The weighs in around 30,000 sq. ft. and sits on several acres within the city. [...]

I was thumbing through Micah’s European Vacation Pictures tonight (it’s about time he got them up, eh)…and it reminded me of the beauty of Italy. Paris was nice, but Italy was amazing. Every time I see photos from places we went, I get this strange nostalgic feeling, and I’m ready to return. It’s a great [...]

2) Bloglines

After a series of dry, boring and semi-depressing posts, I am entering into a week of happy posts. Tonight is day one. (Starting with the next post, of course)…
