Happy Birthday, Oklahoma
Thursday, November 15th, 2007100 years ago tomorrow my home state of Oklahoma will be celebrating the centennial of its admission into the US of A. Festivities galore. It's a state holiday. No school. Fireworks. Fried foods. Woody Guthrie's body exhumed and put on display. Now, I'm no native but I have ...
Transition Pains
Thursday, November 8th, 2007As I mentioned yesterday our center child, Cassie, is our born skeptic and doubter. Chloe, our oldest, is our feeler. She is a people person and makes friends immediately. But she also likes her routine and her manner of doing things. When we moved here two and a half weeks ...
A New Beginning
Monday, November 5th, 2007Yesterday morning was the kind of day I've been looking forward to for a long time. Back in June some godly people and friends of mine sat me down and told me that I needed a sabbatical from ministry. In many ways that is what I have had over the ...
Getting Started
Monday, October 29th, 2007Today is my first day in the office marking the true beginning of my work as minister for the Agape Church of Christ. As I sit here surrounded by boxes on my wife's laptop I can't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed. That, to me, is a great feeling. Meeting ...

Moving, The End
Thursday, October 25th, 2007We are here in Ponca City. It was an extremely eventful process. Some good. Some bad. Some ugly. I will give a full rundown of the last few days as soon as AT&T decides to fix our phones at the house. But we are here and glad to be ...
Moving, Part 7
Sunday, October 21st, 2007It's all packed. The movers arrive early tomorrow morning to load us up for our move to Fort Ponca. Tonight we went back to our old congregation and said goodbye. It was hard, especially since I leave with such a profound feeling of failure. But that's behind now ...
Moving, Part 6
Saturday, October 20th, 2007I'm so tired. Why am I still awake? This is our last weekend in Waco. We load up the truck first thing Monday morning and head for Ponca Springs. And it looks like our marriage will survive another move. It's a good thing I've been so pleasant during these ...
Moving, Part 4
Monday, October 15th, 2007Well, we are in the home stretch. One week from today we will load up the moving truck and head to Poncaville. We will be moving ourselves this time around as we got a sweet deal on a truck that we just couldn't pass up. I've never driven a ...
