one good sentence… it matters – updated
I am currently reading David Sills new book Reaching and Teaching: A Call to Great Commission Obedience. I am really enjoying it. Get this from the book… “So many of those who made the greatest difference in missions history were not those who promoted fads or adopted the latest innovations; they simply loved Jesus with…

almond joy pieces
I totally realize that no one cares, but I still want to say it. Almond Joy pieces are my favorite candy. They are so good. Reese’s Pieces are awesome too. But these are incredible. If you ever want to get me a surprise gift, this would be best. So delicious! Does anyone else love these?…

take advice
This past Sunday, I opened up my sermon with 2 different ways of learning. 1) You can take someone with experience’s word for it. or 2) You can learn the hard way. The Bible teaches us to take advice and instruction from people. Especially from those who have gone before us…
