So yesterday afternoon we were going to celebrate Jenn’s birthday since on her real B-day we are going to be at the clinic all day. Then we remembered, we had a membership meeting that we had to attend at our new church. Normally, I would not have rushed into membership. But since Jenn is on [...]

The Fam and I went out to dinner with some friends from our old church. They felt the need to tell Jenn and me how awful the new music director is.
It was my hope that I had “moved on” since leaving Floris. But their comments lanced a hidden boil in my soul. It just [...]

Today was Mothers, confirmation, Pentecost Sunday. Too many themes for my tiny brain. They showed a 13 minute movie from Willow Creek about church history. I got a little teary. Then they started the confirmation service, and that was it. We have a high pollen count today, but that was not the source of my [...]

I have always been a square peg in the round hole of faith. If I lived 1000 years ago I would be burned at the stake. That is OK, I like barbeque.
Yesterday I got an email from a customer who works at a Christian University in Lakeland Florida (yes, that one). She was asking for [...]

It is weird changing churches, same vine, same branch, different location. I still think it was the right decision to leave our old [...]

Thankfully, I [...]

Today is Good Friday. I am heading out for church in minutes.
As I work through my own failings of faith, I am reminded that I am not the first person to be disappointed with God. Today we mark the date when Jesus was crucified. For the disciples, there could not be a more disappointing day. [...]

So my wife is the new music director at out church. She enjoys the job, but sometimes finds it challenging to find competent musicians. Last week she had a professional pianist play with her worship team.
Later at lunch I told her I really liked the new pianist. Ethan waits for a lull in the whole [...]

Church was OK today. I am not getting a whole lot out of it at the moment because I am not involved. When you don’t go to anything but Sunday morning worship, you may as well be invisible.
At this point I am kind of on the fence because I am not sure how to do [...]
