The Journey

New Web Site

For some reason I wanted to undergo a lot of stress this week by developing a new web site for the church.  It was a crazy experience.  But, today it went on-line and looks great.  Check it out: First Assembly of God

Sermon Player -

I'm still here

I know that it has been a couple of weeks since I made an entry--but, typing has become a chore due to my broken hand.  Today I was working on a sermon to be shared this Sunday.  The theme is "Revival."  There are a lot of views about revival.  I want to identify clear biblical principles rather than speculation, traditions, or subjective stories.  According to the Bible, revival is desperately needed.

Learning to Stop

Several weeks ago I was teaching my two oldest children how to ride their bikes.  I wanted them to learn a very important rule of bike riding: "learn how to stop properly."  Well, sometimes showing is more valuable than telling.  Last Sunday, I went for a "leisurely" bike ride in Manhattan.  About ten miles into the ride I was getting tired--and the perspiration was getting into my eyes.  So, with my right hand, I was wiping my face when I accidentally hit my mirror (that was attached to my helmet).  It fell--and for some unknown reason, I braked, with my left hand (front brakes).  Well, I went flying and came down on my hands.  To make this story short, I broke my left hand.  My kids now know the importance of stopping.

FCF Pictures

Last week I attended the National Frontiersmen Camping Fellowship Rendezvous in Eagle Rock, Missouri.  FCF is an Assemblies of God ministry associated with Royal Rangers (a ministry to boys), and centers its mission on mentoring and serving one another.  Here are some pictures of the event.
