A few weekends ago I drove about an hour north to experience a hermitage prayer retreat. It was something that several people talked to me about…one of those people being the Lord so I thought I’d better give it a try.
I’ve never done anything like this before and to be honest I was […]

If you’re a regular visitor of this blog (i.e. my mom & wife) then you’ll notice that there was no entry last week. Somewhat inappropriate I must say, considering this is supposed to be a weekly blog!
But, I decided to take this opportunity to show how much I’ve grown as an individual and a pursuer […]

I was watching television the other day (how interesting to start a study on repentance with watching TV!) and I was captivated by this very interesting and dynamic preacher. He was talking about the process of thinking and the power that it holds.
I believe he stated that it all starts with precept - this […]

There are many reasons why I have decided to start a personal weekly online Bible study.
First of all, I enjoy writing and need a way to practice. Most of the time I can’t sit down and write just anything; I need inspiration.
A second reason why I am posting my thoughts online is because I […]

What’s in a name?
Well, a lot actually!

One of the craziest responsibilities I’ve ever undertaken was the naming of my son. Think about it, this is the one thing that will be spoken over him throughout his entire life…

I absolutely love it here in Ukraine but I have experienced some culture shock. For those of you who have studied (or experienced) it you’d probably recognize some of the stages…

*This blog is actually a sequel to the previous entry so I suggest you read that one first. I mean, you could go ahead and read this one but it would make a lot more sense if you started from the beginning…

I saw the movie “World Trade Center” the other day. My mother-in-law was going to see it and invited my wife and me. I don’t know if I would have initiated seeing this movie; not because it was too painful or of no interest to me, I guess it just never really crossed my mind. Perhaps I am too dependant on being entertained and I knew this was not going to be the feel good comedy of the year…

There’s a common expression in the Christian world, “you’ve got to separate the do from the who”. In other words, your actions do not determine your identity. I often wonder how we came to this conclusion? The more I think about it the more confused I get…

There was a guest in church today. A group known as Jesus revolution that travels the world sharing the Gospel through song, drama, gymnastics – whatever gift they have they use it.

They gave testimonial after testimonial of lives they’ve impacted. Person after person who has found a salvation that comes only through Jesus the Christ…

Well, after spending several hours updating and reformatting the site (thank you so much Tim Griffin for all your help) I guess I better start actually writing!

There have been a lot of changes in my life lately. Actually, not just lately…it seems as though I’ve been in transition for several years now but the most recent and drastic change is the birth of my son: Jakob…
