Deck the Halls, Not Your Family

I think its funny, sad and all around entertaining. Too often the Holiday season works people up and leads to stress and frustration instead of joy and peace. RELEVANT Magazine wrote an interesting article title Deck the Halls, Not Your Family and filled it timely advice so you can thrive during this busy season. Please enjoy.

Urban Rescue New CD

Just wanted to give you all a heads up. Urban Rescue has a new CD out titled "Just To Be Here."

Urban Rescue has been the worship band at Forest Home for many of our camps. They're fantastic. One of my favorite things about this band is that they have a genuine love for God and want to help others connect with Him. The lead singer, Jordan, is also a friend of mine. I have enjoyed many conversations with him about God and what it truly means to follow Him.

The single off their EP is "Sing." You can hear it for free from their website and blog. http://urbanrescuemusic.com/ http://www.justtobehere.com/

It is also available for download from itunes. http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/just-to-be-here-ep/id403936453

Download it, Listen to it, worship with it!

Back At It

I simply needed the time off. My brain was empty. I needed to recharge. Ever been there?

You would think writting a blog entry once a week would be easy. Well, its not. "Just write about what you're thinking." This un-encouraging encouragement usually comes from those who do not have experience. It reminds me of the baseball fans that see their pitcher screw up and think to themselves, "I could do better than that, how hard could it really be?" Well apparently for me. Its more difficult than I imagined.

This is a short little post that says I'm back at it!

The next few entries will be about what God is teaching me, things I find interesting, and of course, youth ministry.

Please stay tuned.
