Riding My Bike in the Tennessee Mountains

Posted by:

Someone should put a disclaimer on every bike that says, "ATTENTION ALL ROOKIE RIDERS: Do not attempt to ride bike on roads in the mountains unless you are willing and ready to pass out, puke your guts, die, or all of the above." It was all I could do to ride the 4 miles to camp and back.

What is okay in a worship service?

Posted by:

Is there only one right way to be a worship leader?  Here is an article from Collide magazine’s blog that lists out one man’s opinion on the matter. I like some of his thoughts but not all.

OLC Sunday Update

Posted by:

Another great Sunday at the Leaf. Michael announced we are moving back to the movie theater on July 20 – a little earlier than originally scheduled. We discussed it in our second service "green room bible study" and talked about how sometimes God gives a vision and we try to wrap reason and common sense around it by making fit into what we think makes the most sense. Bottom line is, when God has called you to do something, the ...

3 Goals In Life Part II

Posted by:

Alright…my 3 life goals are pretty generic and general. And I know that good goals must be measurable and attainable. So these are my more immediate specific goals (though they are still fairly generic):

  1. Have 10 chapters of Psalms memorized by the end of August.
