Last week I wrote about deciding to get Lasik and how I picked a surgeon. This post will discuss the procedure, immediate care, and results. Before The Procedure I scheduled my surgery with Dr. Straub and was stoked. I watched him perform 2 surgeries the day I received my initial exam. It was great being…
Camp Friends
I originally wrote this for my MySpace blog (does that even still exist?) and ran across it the other day. I had attended two camps that year. One Youth camp, one Kids camp. I still do this sort of thing and am gone a good portion of my summer with activities like camp. My feelings still hold…
Daddy’s Needs a New Pair of Shoes!
A few weeks ago I wanted to get some new running shoes. I’m pretty picky when it comes to shoes, especially running shoes. A few years back I started looking into minimalist and barefoot running. The first shoes I bought were my NB MT100’s. Those shoes hooked me into minimalist footwear. I loved them. I…
Life After Lasik Pt. 1
I had LASIK about a month ago. For those of you who don’t know what that is you can find out here. I want to tell you about the process, my experience, and how it’s been one month out. (I am not getting any compensation for my recommendation, just sharing my experience with you) Deciding…
The Lord’s Prayer Luke 11:1-13
Pastor Edwin is teaching through Luke over the course of the next few years… 🙂 He was doing a wedding and asked me to preach his sermon on Saturday night.

4 Things Playing Sports Taught Me
I have played sports my whole life. I have had some success, but overall I’m a mediocre athlete (now out of shape) who tries hard. Here are some things I’ve learned that are applicable to my life. Showing up is not enough. Real sports, not t-ball and pre-k soccer, involve winning and losing. Not everyone…
Who’s in Charge of Your Ministry? Matthew 11:25-27
Sometimes ministry gets really hard… Rejection can take a toll on you. Jesus had just experienced massive rejection in region of Galilee. He deals with it the best way anyone can… he confirms his perspective. Jesus knows that all things are in the Father’s control. Likewise, it is not up to us how to people…
Responsibility and Condemnation – Matthew 11 & Luke 10
Jesus talks about how people who don’t want to believe will find any reason to dismiss God… Matthew 11:16-24: 16 “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17 “‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and…
The Resurrection
Last week we didn’t cover the life of Jesus in order. Instead, we celebrated the Resurrection and watched 10 very well-done, short videos concerning popular myths of Jesus’ Resurrection. They are developed by Credo House Ministries. These videos are teasers for a larger video curriculum called The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus. It can be…
