Yesterday I had a chance to stop by UACCB and see some of the folks I used to work with. My real purpose in visiting was to take care of some business for the online classes I’ll be teaching in the spring, but I had a great time catching up and hearing how the fall […]

As you all likely know, Bethany was gone for about a week and a half earlier this month to lead a mission trip at the Life is Hope orphanage in Haiti. To be honest, I was a little bit jealous.. here I had to stay back home while she went to serve and enjoy a […]
Whoa, what a wonderful trip I had! Thank you all for your concern with Hurricane Sandy, we were fine and safe. All we endured was flooding and high winds.

So as we all know, yesterday was Sunday which means… church! The sermon was about giving your whole life to Christ. That most of the time we think the American dream = the Christian right.
