Hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was packed full of some great things. My grandparents stopped in for a visit on their way back to Toledo, Ohio from Florida. They got the opportunity to hang out all weekend and then go to Cross Point with us on Sunday. They had to hurry home so [...]

Earlier this week we talked a little about prayer. In the comments we somehow chased a tangent about how we pray and what this looks like so I thought I would follow up with this post. A few years ago I had a real epiphany when it came to prayer while studying this verse: 1 [...]

So you may find this hard to believe, but Brandi and I do have moments of intense fellowship now and then. We usually fight over the same stupid things most of you probably fight over. Yesterday when I got home from Cross Point I was starving. I noticed I was about to be served a [...]
