Want to Make Some Changes Together? R...

It’s a great time of year to make changes. There are changes happening all around us. The grass is beginning to go from dead and yellow to green and living. Soon the trees will start to bud and the tulips will come up from the ground. I am ready to make some changes in my life and I know there are...

Created for More...

I was sitting in an incredible message Sunday from Pastor Barry Boucher, who is also my Father in law. I began to think of how many times I have made excuses. I began to imagine if we as a church community walked in the fullness of the potential God created us with. Life is busy. Kids in sports and...

Symptoms?...

Do you know your growth symptoms? In my life one clear cut symptom is frustration. I notice things that need to change, and frustration begins to build on the inside.

Song of Solomon 8:5 (ESV) Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. Lori and I had the “if only” syndrome when we first married. I love you, but would love you more if only… She would have compassion when I am sick. She would like...
