What a Feast!
My top 5 favorite drinks are: sweet iced tea, Dr. Pepper, Diet Snapple Peach Tea, Coke Zero, and the Monster Zero Ultra. I really like the Snapple drinks because they have a fun fact under their bottle caps, though they have found that a few of their so-called facts need some correction.


Be Faithful Unto Death
“Be faithful unto death.” These are the words that jump out of the four verse assessment Jesus gave to the church in Smyrna (Rev. 2:10). In the midst of vicious slander and persecution for refusing to swear verbal allegiance to Caesar as Lord and willing to be social outcasts in the face of all the gods and goddesses that dominated every aspect of life, Jesus says just stay faithful to the end.


Go or Stay?
This last Thursday morning, Kim and I, along with most of our family, attended our daughter Annie’s graduation from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Arizona. It was an emotional time for Mom and Dad to watch our last child walk across the stage to receive her diploma. We felt the joy of her four-year achievement mixed with the tears of seeing her ready to begin a new season of life as a young adult and face the rough and tough world where she wants to make a difference. And then, the president of GCU, Brian Mueller stepped up to the podium and challenged all the freshly-minted graduates to do what God has called us all to do: “Go” and not “stay.” His words not only inspired the graduates, but they motivated me as a parent, grandparent, and disciple of Jesus Christ.


He Is Risen!
He is risen! What an incredible weekend with our Church family!
We had a wonderful Good Friday service focused on the thief on the cross. We had over 100 kids participate in our “Flapjack Feast” and hear the story of the resurrection in our children’s ministry. And over 1000 people attended our Easter services hearing the gospel preached alongside a fantastic time of praise!
