Switching Roles for our “not so little” man

This week, our little man, became a bit less little.

He turned 13 this week. This is a milestone in a young man’s life.
I remember, that at the age of 13, I was allowed to:

  • first shoot a rifle,
  • own my own pocket knife,

Hello all,

I have been lagging in my updates and posts as of late. It seems I can only focus on 4 things at once. Aside from work, family, and work (yes I put that in there twice) the fourth major life focusing event is CHURCH PLANTING…. Yes, I did say that phrase. Church planting is truly an act of obedience to Jesus’s command to go and make disciples in the world. Working with a team to create a new church family has been an amazing experience both in the sense of family that is built and the things you learn.

I have learned many new applications for old skills I have. Thinking back twenty or so years, I remember … Click to Continue →
