Happy Old Year!
The end of a year provides people with a landmark they can use for different reasons. Some people use it as an excuse to party because they made it through another year. Others use it as a time to make a new start on aspects of their life that they want to change. I will use it as both a time to celebrate and a time to look to the new year that God has given me, but first I want to look...
Read MoreSzechuan: Fine Dining in Abilene
This is something that I have been waiting on for about two years. When I was dating Lacey, she and her family introduced me to this restaurant and no Chinese food has been able to compare since. In fact, I wasn’t even a big fan of Chinese food until I started eating here. I liked it well enough but it was not my favorite type of food. Thanks to Szechuan Chinese food now ranks very...

I love everything about vacations and holidays except for one thing: by the time it is over you feel you need a vacation from your vacation. I think employers should give their employees an extra day to catch up on sleep and take a break from all the busyness. Just another idea of mine that will probably never happen. Somehow, even with all the running around this year, we had a great Christmas....

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Mat 25:40 As Christians we have the joy of giving to the work of Christ throughout the world. We give our time and money to further the cause of Christ so that others may come to know Him as we do. It is such a privilege when we come across another...

Read MoreThe Meaning of Christmas
Christmas is one of my (and I am sure lots of peoples) favorite times of the year. It is a time for family, food, fun, and fires (if it is cold where you live). There are many other things we do this time of year too like shopping, partying, giving, listening to Christmas music, watching Christmas movies, and wanting to wring that drivers neck who cut us off and almost made us hit another car. Oh...

Life is interesting. Sunday afternoon I was sitting around musing about my week to come. I was thinking that all I had to do was make it through this week of work that I would be home-free for five days. I had made it through the leading worship on Sunday and that was my last big obstacle. I was wrong. I got to work Monday morning ready to start my busy week getting our new payroll...

My life, as of late, has been quite busy, hence my lack of posting. But all the things I have been busy with have been absolutely amazing. Last week Lacey’s best friend had her first baby boy. He was a few weeks early and so there was some concern about his health but despite the doctors thinking that he would spend his first few days in the premie unit, he was out of there in a day and...
Read MoreAttacks and Prayer
Just so everyone knows, I have been asked to lead worship at my church on Dec. 16th and I would greatly appreciate your prayers. Ever since I told Kert that I would do this I feel that I have been under attack. The enemy has really been trying to trip me up in any way he can think of. Pray that God would strengthen me so that I can present a pure and holy sacrifice of worship to Him, not just...

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. Think on the...
