Happy Reformation Day!

Earlier today I ran into Geoff at Hoggy’s “Your Hometown Meat Market” (great place to get all sorts of meats and great sandwiches!) and he greeted me with “Happy Reformation Day!” Yeah, today’s not just Halloween, it’s also Reformation Day. Long story made short, Geoff had some great thoughts about both holidays that I think [...]

A brief update on Tracy

Time is an amazing thing. When we want it to pass quickly, it seems to stand still. And when we wish it would only stop for a minute, just long enough to let our little girl stay 7 a little longer, it rushes by.

Gathered Worship, the Wrecking, and a Love Offering

This Sunday we have a special blessing of having The Wrecking lead the music during gathered worship. If you’ve seen Doug, Darren, Joe, and Karl in concert, you know that they are excellent musicians, but they are also faithful servants–they love the church, God’s people!

Don’t Waste Your Cancer

Last night I was able to surprise Tracy – I was able to cancel my appointments, find a baby sitter, and take her out to dinner and the “Fireproof” movie in Westbrook (a big “thank you” to those who were so ready to make this happen!). Times like these can bring such clarity, reminding us [...]

24 Hours After a Diagnosis of Cancer

As some of you know by now, Tracy and I found out yesterday morning that she has breast cancer. We really wish we could have called you all individually and spoken with each of you, because we find it an honor to be family with you. We love you and need you. If it is [...]
