Benjamin and I took a little guys trip down to Papa and Grannie’s home in Havana, FL (Leslie’s Dad). This morning we got up early and headed out for St. Marks Wildlife Refuge, just straight south of Tallahassee. Had a great time.  I caught a pretty big red fish right off then had a few others [...]

I don’t know what it is but I’m so pumped about these next 6 weeks of worship at Cornerstone Church under the banner of “Live Love”.  I just know how we are going to be telling people how much God loves them in some intentional ways in these next few weeks.  And then exploring the [...]

Just wanted to drop in a rough video from a few weeks back in Uganda.  It’s just a short telling of the story of Buloba Community Church, who we are partnering with.  Hope this helps some of you get a little feel for the lay of the land over there in Buloba.  It’s about 7 [...]

TIA:  This is Africa…and God is here. I’ve just gotten settled into a 8 ½ hour flight from Entebbe to Amsterdam and I’m flooded with thoughts about the last 10 days.  So here goes a few snapshots from my memory: The family whose home I visited that had very little to eat.  The 6 year [...]

Mizungoo!  It mean’s “white person” and it is what the little kids shout out as our van passes by them.  We’ve gotten to know the little kids in the neighborhood where we are staying in Kampala.  They shout it out every morning when we leave and at night to welcome us back home.  They run [...]

We’ve given out 232 pairs of eye glasses over these last three days thanks to Eyes on Africa (they supplied us with the glasses and all the testing gear.)  It’s been a great act of love poured out on these folks.  They are all so grateful and we are hopeful for these seeds planted in [...]

We spent the morning out in the community visiting folks in Buloba. We broke up into teams with church members and just went for it. The door-to-door thing fits great in this culture. People love it. So we went into many people’s homes and just heard their stories. Also had a few opportunities to share [...]

A good day. Our team started out with worship at Gaba Community Church here in Kampala (This is the church that Buloba Community Church was planted out of). It was great to be at Gaba…reminded me a lot of Cornerstone but with an African flare. Then we headed out to Buloba for the service there. [...]

Sitting on the back porch right now working on my sermon for tomorrow morning. (Making sure I stay on the porch so John the security guard won’t mistake me for a thief and tag me with his spear.) It’s been an amazing day here. Each day is full of so much, I feel like it [...]

OK, so just a minute ago I met John, our black belt security guard. Been here three nights now and had no clue he was here (yes, he’s that stealth-like). So here’s the deal. We’re staying in a house that is surrounded by a wall with razor wire on the top. John hangs out in [...]
