In the early chapters of the book of Acts, we see the forming of true biblical community and the continuing mission of Jesus through his community by the power of the Holy Spirit. Likewise, in Christ we have true fellowship and community with God and with each other: κοινωνία. The characteristics of the community of […]

What do you get when you cross the Mos Eisley cantina with South of the Border?  Casa Bonita.  By far the strangest restaurant experience I’ve ever shared with my wife (thanks Trey and Alison for the recommendation).  Complete with cliff diving, staged gun fights, a fire-juggling man in a gorilla suit, puppet shows…the list goes […]

The final day of the retreat did not end with a group sing along of a Michael W. Smith ballad, signing yearbooks or camp t-shirts, but with an affirming commissioning, prayer, and charge for renewal.  The final session featured words from various A29 leaders of the goings-on of the network (movement).  Mark […]

Day three opened with a time of worship and group session led by Gary Ricucci. After lunch, Melody, Emi, and I walked to Lions Head village along Beaver Creek followed by a time of relaxation by the pool.
We gathered with our fellow southeast regional pastors and wives for dinner (many thanks, Vintage 21). […]

The featured speakers leading the main sessions are Gary and Betsy Ricucci, authors of the book Love that Lasts: When Marriage Meets Grace.  Again, I’m so thankful for the investment in our marriage, not just the “how to’s” of doing ministry.  During the guy’s “breakout session,” I managed to get spotted in a pic by […]

We safely arrived in Vail.  Emaline was a trooper for her first time flying.  The drive from Denver was nice.  It’s quite refreshing to see the snow-capped rockies in June- a respite from the brutal southern heat.
The retreat began with a “mix and mingle” with drinks and apps, then an incredibly delicious meal.  There are […]

Seth and Lauren’s wedding was among the sweetest I’ve been a part of.  The time in Charleston was short and busy, but we managed to have a few hours on the beach.  Emi enjoyed herself (I’ll try to share pics soon).
Today we’re flying to Vail, CO for the annual Acts 29 pastors retreat.  I will […]

This weekend I have the great privilege of officiating the wedding of my good friends Seth and Lauren.  I am honored to be part of their big day, and thrilled to spend the weekend in Charleston with family and friends!

Behold: my new ride.  A 2006 Yamaha Vino 125.  It’s a sweet ride.  The guys at SPEED, INC. in Anderson, SC gave me an incredible deal on the thing, which allowed me to get familiar with it on the 99 mile drive back from their shop to my house.  It actually goes a steady 55, […]
