Getting ready for the trip

This weekend Linda and I are taking a trip to Arkansas with some really good friends, Steve and Kathy.
Being a pastor, a dad, a granddad, a chief engineer, a production director, and trying to do everything to keep a house and church running smooth can wear a person down. Linda deals with pre-K children every day and that can frazzle the nerves of an adult. Continue reading

Thrown Away!

What part of the Bible have we thrown away?

I ended up with a pine top on the house and another on the barn. Continue reading

It’s not over!

A sigh of relief!
It’s over!
I think I’ll enjoy the weekend!
For all of us at KSWP and KAVX, I’m talking about Sharathon; it ended yesterday evening around 630pm.
Months ago planning began for all of us on staff; Continue reading

Apple founder, Steve Jobs has died.
This is an individual that was driven by perfection to give you a simple, one-button product that didn’t need an instruction manual.
