“The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).” Isaiah 7:14 I’m overwhelmed with the thought of God’s love for us this morning! My thoughts go all the way back to…Read more God With Us!

Jingle Bell Beach! Sunday morning finally arrived and our children's ministries presented Jingle Bell Beach! They put on a great performance with the cute factor in multiples! It is one of my favorite times of the year, to be able to sit, watch and listen to our children sing, act and dance. It's hard to…Read more Monday Meditations, December 18, 2017

I love Michigan Saturdays in the Autumn. The mornings are spent kind of wrapping up my week and making final preparations for Sunday. Then its Georgia Football, usually a slow run in the park enjoying the Fall colors and then 6:00 PM prayer at Woodland Church. If there is one thing I miss, however, it's…Read more Saturday and Boiled Peanuts!

Whenever, I invite someone to join our team, it's pure joy to share our vision, our team members, and to paint the picture of the future. Jesus, wow, did he ever do it differently!

Horror is how I describe what we felt as watched in my study, my wife's calling the school to pick up the boys early, and the steady…Read more Monday Meditations

I love the Church! I love the congregation at Woodland Church in particular. Life with them is joyous, with its seasons of celebrations of birth, new birth, baptisms, holidays (Holy Days) like Christmas, Easter, Pentecost. It's also sobering with its seasons of fasting at Lent and the funerals where we worship our LORD and offer…Read more Monday Meditations

“He will tell you how you and everyone in your household can be saved!’” (Acts 11:14, NLT) For the apostles and the early church it was an amazing shock that God's Unlimited Love extended beyond the cultural boundaries of the Jewish Church. “The Jewish believers who came with Peter were amazed that the gift of the…Read more God’s Unlimited Love

I have loved traveling and seeing our beautiful planet. The wildlife I have observed first hand, as a child existed only on the pages of National Geographic and my science books. The wonderful people and sometimes not so wonderful people I've met traveling have made my journeys even more adventuresome.  One night a band of…Read more Monday Meditations
