The Christmas Post…a few days late

Christmas this year was great. it was my 2nd Christmas away from home….i am not saying that was great….but as a whole it was a great day.
Highlands did 5 Christmas Eve services and they were wonderful. I did not do the lighting for them, but my good friend Brian did. [...]

merry indeed

I am really not the type to tell everyone i encounter Merry Christmas.  I am not so much a scrooge any more…i was last year, but i am not.  but i didnt think that i was at the place that i would tell every person i see Merry Christmas. 
But this morning as i was walking [...]

clearing my mind

i am sorry that i have put this on the back burner.  i feel like i have been going a million miles a minute…working through Christmas, which we always think that we are ahead of the curve and we end up the week before Christmas realizing that we may have out punted our coverage, as [...]

the skinny on the ring….

If you have been to Birmingham you have seen the Vulcan. He is this Iron statue over Birmingham….granted what he stands for is not too great, but it overlooks Birmingham and is super romantic.
We had gone there before we were dating and in our awkward stage of the relationship….i like you, you [...]

Christmas in Ministry

The other day Chad and I were nailing down our Christmas plans.  Along with nailing down Christmas plans personally we were also nailing down Christmas plans for Highlands.
Some times being in ministry is great….no…let me take that back, being in ministry is always great if you are called to it, its just your attitude that [...]

it doesnt matter how i format my post in this theme the paragraphs run together….
i have a friend looking at it, but for the time being i am irritated…

praying with people

Now that I have had some experience praying for people…
