Oh, did I mention that the St. Louis Cardinals World Series Trophy from 2006 was on display to look at and have your picture taken with?? Well, it was and Taylor and I got our picture taken by the trophy. The Springfield Cardinals really do a great job! They had their staff photographer there to […]
We got a call after work yesterday from Jenny’s brother, Tad. He acquired some Springfield Cardinals tickets and asked Taylor and I to come with he and his son, Andrew. We immediately said “yes” and were off to the game. These weren’t just any tickets, but they were tickets to the “Redbird Roost.” The Redbird […]
I am headed out here in a bit to put some week killer down on the lawn. “The Fields are white” . . . not because of wheat harvest, but because of dandelions! I wanted to do all of that stuff at the same time and have been waiting for the right temperature to put […]

I have really been enjoying reading about all of the awesome “returns” from churches around the country that had AWESOME Easter weekends! I truly believe that we are all on the same team and that we all win when there are so many people coming to Christ on one day! I know that there are […]
Found this info. on a blog I read a lot by Ben Arment. He is a church planter near Washington D.C. I subscribe to Francis Chan’s podcasts from his church, Cornerstone Church, Simi Valley (CA). While Jenny and I were listening the other night to the podcast, Francis mentioned that the elders were kicking around […]
Welcome To Passion Week! We have put together an online devotional to go along with the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. There is also a hard copy that will be given out tomorrow at church for those of us who need paper. We really wanted people to relive the last chapters of the gospels […]
