  • My Mic Sounds Nice, Check One…

    Lately I’ve had several people ask me what we use to record our worship services at CrossWay Church.  The equipment is simple, sounds great, is only a hundred bucks combined, fits easily in a pocket, and plugs right into the computer to upload.  If anyone is interested, here are links to the two pieces we… Continue reading

  • I’d Rather Be Fishing, Part 2

    Yesterday was a very interesting church day. In week 2 of the series “I’d Rather Be Fishing,” we rotated preaching duty. Pastor John Coleman from The Gathering Tree preached at CrossWay, Pastor Daryl from SonRise preached at The Gathering Tree, and I preached at SonRise. Strangely enough, attendance at The Gathering Tree–in the absence of… Continue reading

  • Crab Legs & Baseball–How Good Can It Get?

    Saturday was such a great day. Carolyn and I slept in, had lunch, and ran some errands. We stopped in at a birthday celebration for Pastor Daryl’s almost-five-year-old-daughter, then headed to Chinatown Buffet in Salisbury for all you can eat crab legs. Need I say more? From there we went to the Shorebirds game. Their… Continue reading

  • Coming Soon to an iTunes Store Near You

    Aahhh, at long last we are getting close to having our podcast in the iTunes directory. We actually have an old one with a dead feed on there now, and I can’t get them to take it out of the directory. It was the only CrossWay podcast with no artwork, so that obviously wouldn’t do.… Continue reading

First we had a delicious cookout and played horseshoes, topped off by some delicious and rather creative desserts. To begin the Bible study, we played darts. Sort of. Everyone got one shot at nailing the bullseye on… Continue reading

  • Today

    Today was a good day. I slept in until 9:00, which of course is always a nice way to start the day.  Carolyn and I just took it easy all morning, had lunch, and went to a local softball field for some practice with her dad and some friends from church.  That’s always fun!  With… Continue reading

  • A Down Under Perspective

    I cyber-know a guy in Australia named Tom, who probably thinks I died because I’ve owed him an email for about a month. (Though in reality, he just asks very penetrating questions that require a lot of thought and time, which is my lame excuse for not having written him back yet. But the day… Continue reading

  • New CrossWay Church Website!

    Woo hoo!  After pouring countless hours into designing the official CrossWay Church website over the past six weeks, my wife Carolyn has now published it online!  You can find it at the same address as the hokey one I put up a few weeks back: http://crossway.cc  Or you can just click here. Thanks Carolyn!  Great… Continue reading

  • Epilogue

    Below is the last journal entry recording the events of the trip Carolyn and I took to England and France in July of 2006. It was written on the transatlantic flight coming home, and covers some final thoughts about the journey: Friday, July 28, 2006 airborne over England on British Airways An interesting morning. Our… Continue reading
