Pumpkin Patch
Today we went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. (I can’t remember the name of it.) It was lots of fun, and the weather was perfect! When we got there, the pumpkin patch lady showed the kids some different kids of pumpkins and stuff and told them about it. In the middle of… Continue reading

Our Australian friend Tom has put together a pretty cool little audio clip you can listen to here. Be sure to check out his blog at http://runnoft.blogspot.com/ That’d be pretty cool to have music in the background when I preach! Continue reading

Anabaptist Mission & Peace – Day 1
Class today was amazing. It’s the most immersed I’ve ever been in sheer Anabaptism. Our teacher, David Shenk, was fascinating and inspiring.

A Nerd’s Nightmare
The other night I had what could only be classified as a true nerd’s nightmare. In this dream, I had placed an order with Amazon several hours earlier, and I suddenly realized that I’d forgotten to select the Free Super Saver Shipping. I woke up in a cold sweat, glad it had only been a… Continue reading

License Plate Honesty
This weekend I saw a very fitting license plate in Ocean City. It was a Hummer, and it read: “NEEDGAS.” Continue reading

A Mennonite Perspective on the Bible

In our last miniseries, we spent three weeks talking about how what we believe about God is important because it affects our daily lives as well as eternity. The most important belief we… Continue reading
