My life was changed forever.  Emily was born and I was immediately wooped!  She had spikey red hair and the biggest eyes I had ever seen (actually looked like a troll).  She was the nurses favorite, one nurse actually came and got her at 3:00 AM to show her off!  She has alwaysbeen my princess.  [...]

There are a lot of things that as I have grown more mature in my faith that have become non-essentials theologically.  Then there are a few things that endure the test of scrutiny.  This month we will be looking at undeniable truths.  When they are stated…it is the END OF THE DISCUSSION.

Service Evaluation

Posted: January 22, 2009 by youthinthecorner in Alive Worship Experiences

Last night was one of the best nights ever at Alive.  We had 240 students, 11 first-timers and 25 adults!  We had a time of worship that was UNBELIEVABLE!  I am amazed that I get to do this for a living.  In the middle school service we had students going after Jesus some for the [...]

Today is MLK memorial day.  I hope that you are using this day to at least pause and think about where we have come as a people and as a nation.  The ignorance and hate of our parents and grandparents generations is beginning to diminish and there is no greater example of that than tomorrows [...]

Batman Pillows

Now that my mistake series is finished I wanted to blog about something personal.  My 6 year old gave me an “odd” gift for Christmas.  She gave me a Batman pillow.  I don’t know why?  I have never asked for a batman pillow.  I have never speant a lot of time talking about Batman or [...]

mistake #1 – not doing this a year ago I wish I would have done this a year ago to learn from my mistakes in 2007.  Many of them were the same.  Unfortunately many mistakes of 2009 will be similar to those in 2008.  However, if we WOULD take the time to ponder our mistakes [...]

mistake #2 – the comparison game Honestly, I do care about numbers.  I care about how many students we have in our program.  I don’t think you can get too many people in Church.  I mean when do you cap it off?  At what point do you tell the next kid, “I’m sorry we are [...]
