It’s Monday.  In five days Leslie and I are heading over to Columbus to hear Rascal Flatts and Darius Rucker in their “Unstoppable Tour” (a Valentines present for Leslie).  Should be interesting.  I’m not a huge country fan but I just love music of all kinds – and a good show.  Need a little help [...]

The Valley of Vision,  a 15th century Puritan prayer.  Fitting as we enter into this season of Lent.
Lord, High and Holy, Meek and Lowly,
You have brought me to the valley of vision,
where I live in the depths but see you in the heights;

I always say that Liza, Grace and Benjamin are the greatest theologians in my life.  Sometimes they just bust out with the most profound things…and sometimes its just by watching them live life that I see the hidden wisdom of God…often something I am hindered by in being a logical thinking adult that is often [...]

What happens in Africa doesn’t always stay in Africa.  Here’s a quick shot of Brian Johnson, our Worship Pastor, putting down a fried grasshopper.  We picked these up from a dude selling them out of a bucket while waiting in traffic.  Seems that they are the “pork skins” of Uganda.
