Well it seems that I am off to camp for an incredible summer of serving the Lord. I am very excited to see what He wants to use me for this summer! I would like to ask you all for prayer that I may serve the Lord and that I would allow Him to use me. And that I would find my strength in Him and in Him alone. Thank you and have a great summer!

We need to refocus. We need to remember that our highest calling is not found in a set of doctrinal statements nor is it found in any sort of rhetoric or slogan. For these things bring only a little when we have been offered everything. We need to remember that we have no higher calling than to love the Lord our God. And we need to do this with the entirety of ourselves, we need to give Him...

I won’t shield God from my anguish by claiming He’s not involved in the ache of this world and Satan prowls but he’s a lion on a leash and the God who governs all can be shouted at when I bruise, and I can cry and I can howl and He embraces the David-hearts who pound hard on His heart with their grief and I can moan deep that He did this - and He did.
I feel Him hold me -...

Ask and you shall receive...an answer
Hey if any of my followers have a question about me or about God or about my faith feel free to fire off a question and I would love to answer…especially if it is about God!

No longer will I call you Lord and not serve you. No longer will I acknowledge your greatness and yet abandon your work. I am yours God and even though I am weak I will serve you just give me your strength and instruct me in your ways. Then I will live in the joy of your presence all the days of my life (and to think…that is only the beginning).
