According to some other pastors in my conference, I live in one of the nicest parsonages.  I tend to agree with them.  This parsonage is quite a step up from my last place.  Including the yard.  In my last house I could mow the lawn in 15 minutes, including the trim, now it takes me [...]

July 27, 2010

I am finishing up a book titled “The Year of Living Like Jesus,” by Ed Dobson.  This book was very good.  I assumed it would be a book about giving to the poor and walking everywhere. That idea quickly changed as I read the book.

Treating God like my bookshelf

July 13, 2010

I love books, I have hundreds of them.  Some are new, some are old, some are antiques.  Recently someone gave me a collection of books that were in their house being used as insulation.  Turns out those books were King James Bibles printed in England in the late 17th Century.  That aren’t in the best [...]

How?

July 11, 2010
