Step In

  God’s heart is to see you step into who you were created to be. But there’s more. He’s calling you to take others with you. It’s time to step out of the wilderness and into the Promised Land. It’s time to step out of complacency and into your calling.

Time to be a Man

You would think that a blog of this title would be written in June when we try to encourage or guilt men to step up and be better, but I am too impatient to wait for Father’s Day.  Besides, the way time is speeding up it will be here next week. “In the days when judges ruled in Israel, a… Continue reading Time to be a Man

Green Ice Cream

Can't Get Enough

To me, it parallels how God works.   As this weekend’s service came to an end, I was reminded quickly that a few of our portable… Continue reading Constant Repairs

Incense of Prayer

A blank stare was etched on my face as the employee of Menards asked me, “Is there something I could help you find?”  I know there were three things I needed and each hand was holding something, but for the life of me, I could not remember what that item was.  It is really not my fault though.  There are… Continue reading Incense of Prayer

Gardening

Growing up, my step dad spent countless hours landscaping and planting in our yard. We had more flowers than you could count, and any time someone came to our house they were immediately in awe of the work he put in to make our yard look amazing. As we have purchased our home in Eau Claire a few years ago… Continue reading Gardening
