Today is the day…

…that I give my firstborn away.  I did not really understand what I was getting myself into almost 19 years ago when we had our first baby.  I also did not understand just how incredibly fast this 19 years would go.  I don’t know how many times I have heard people say, “Enjoy them while [...]

Worship Confessional: December 7, 2008

Today was a big day at Glenville Church.  We planned for a day that we called Connection Sunday, which was just a day that we pushed for visitors from our people.  We had two identical services (well, sort of identical… second service was a little longer, since we had no time constraints).  We had no [...]

Worship Confessional: November 30, 2008

Today was a day that I had been looking forward to for quite some time because we were able to observe the Lord’s Supper in service.  It is always a special time as a church to be able to specifically remember the sacrifice that Christ made for us.  Of course, we should remember this every [...]

Worship Confessional: November 16, 2008

Ok, so I am a little late getting in on the action this week.  Sunday was my wife’s birthday, so I never got around to posting, and yesterday, I spent most of the day trying to get my son in to the Dr. so he could cough and play basketball.  So, here it is Tuesday, [...]

Passion and emotion? What is it good for?

I was just sitting here thinking over the last several days.  Our nation has certainly witnessed some incredible things with this election.  People were passionate about the political process.  They were passionate about their candidate, their beliefs, and the change that they believe needs to come to this nation.  Emotions ran high… sometimes too high [...]

Worship Confessional: November 2, 2008

I started the day off wondering if I was even going to make it to services at all.  I came down with the flu Saturday morning, and it just got worse throughout the day.  By evening, I was almost positive I was gonna be staying home on Sunday, which has only happened one other time [...]

Worship Confessional: October 19, 2008

Today was an unusual day for us.  Every year a small town just south of Wichita called Haysville (I happen to live in this town as well) has a Fall Festival, and on Sunday Morning they have what they call “Church In The Park.”  Though there are a number of churches in Haysville, Glenville has [...]

Freedom

Today is a day where most of us in America will have an extra day off of work, and will spend time with the family at the lake, playing ball or just lazing around the house. I think it is a great day to do any of that, but let’s not forget that we [...]
