Faith
For those of you striving to be faithful but discouraged by present circumstances… “Every time you venture out in the life of faith, you will find something in your common-sense circumstances that flatly contradict it. Common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense…you can trust God where your common sense cannot. Faith must be tested, because it can be turned into a personal possession only through conflict. Believe steadfastly on Him, because your faith is developed through all you...

A few pictures from the Feigal wedding this past weekend. My beautiful daughters were a part of the wedding and I had the honor of officiating. Enjoy. I know Eric had his fancy camera there as well. More pictures will probably come soon from him. ...
Read MoreAre we preparing ourselves to live?
This past week I had a few moments to kill so I found myself perusing through the Christianity section at Barnes & Noble. Honestly, I haven’t read too much in the past few months so I was looking for something that caught my eye. As I stumbled along I saw the name of an author I heard speak last summer, Mark Scandrette. I found his offering entitled Jesus Dojo very thought provoking and intriguing on what it truly means to be a genuine follower of Jesus here on earth. So I picked up the book entitled...

Read MoreMy current status
At yesterday afternoon’s Large Group Meeting for Intervarity at Normandale students shared how God was revealed to them this past academic year. It truly was an honor to hear the students, see their tears, and connect with their hearts. As I sat there and listened, I began to reflect on my life…what I have learned, experienced, embraced, etc. Then this afternoon I corresponded via the internet with a friend I haven’t spoken with for a while. I shared with him everything currently happening in...
