i am ready for some football!

Its here, finally college football has begun.  I like the NFL, but cheering for the Cardinals is a maddening experience at best.  I am a die hard Sun Devil fan and long for the season to begin.  Saturday night is opening night!  Can’t wait…

being a leader

I have always wondered what it would be like to lead a business, or an organization.  At least I wondered that until two years ago when I became a pastor.  Leadership is an amazing right to have as a person.  Its also one of the heaviest burdens a person can carry.  One of my favorite [...]
