As I’ve been reading through my Bible-in-a-year plan — which I’m keeping up with quite nicely, thank you – I came across this passage in Judges. I won’t spend too much time on the story, but Deborah was a prophetess whom God sent to Barak (not Obama). God had commanded Barak to take 10,000 men and [...]

So I’ve been a little sporadic on here lately — but there’s so much to be done! We’re preparing for a March 11 move. That means a lot of video editing (me), packing (all Annette up to this point), wrapping up details, and planning our farewell tour of Ohio. We’ll be heading up to Columbus [...]

At the beginning of November 2009, we made a huge decision for our family. We decided to step away from our wedding video business to pursue a calling. For most, I’m sure it seemed like a crazy decision. I won’t lie — there were days when we felt the same way! “What have we done?” [...]

Do you ever have times when strange themes pop up in your life, multiple times, over a short period of time? For me, it’s betrayal. Strange, I know. It started last night as Annette and I were finishing the first season of 24. If you haven’t seen it — spoiler alert! In the final episode – the [...]

I just got an email that brought tears to my eyes, and I have to share it! It actually involved no words, just one picture:
This is my friend Ray – we were in bible college together in Missouri. He and his wife Kristi are missionaries in Costa Rica. It just so happened that when Annette + I posted [...]

I just have to say that I’m so encouraged that things don’t always go my way. I know that sounds counterintuitive, but it’s something I’ve come to realize about life.
A couple weeks ago we made a quick trip to central PA. This week marks four years since we moved from Lewistown, where I was a [...]

Though I hate New Year’s resolutions because they’re so synonymous with failure, I do like to set goals.
One of the “usual” goals for most people is to lose weight. Back in 2008, a huge goal of mine was “to become healthy,” which happened to include losing about 10-15 pounds. Well, this pursuit took on a life of [...]
