Dusty and Bailey attended tonight’s World Series game. I’m watching the sportscasters interview the coaches and team players following the game while I type this. My mind’s eye sees our boys slowly filing out of Coors Stadium, having watched their beloved Colorado Rockies lose the fourth game of the series—a sweep. At least they’re not [...]

My dear man went to Pennsylvania, and all I got was this lousy lip balm. Truth be told, he knew it was the perfect present to bring me, the lifelong lover of Good and Plenty. But on to bigger and better things—pictures of his adventure to see Rachel and John in Philadelphia. They’re happily settled [...]

The family just grew by one. Cassidy invited Jesus to live in her heart! Quinn and Dusty are intentional in teaching their kids about living a life for Christ.

Every year in October our pastoral team heads out to the beautiful Oregon coast for a retreat. My coworker, Denise, and I get to go too because we’ve somehow convinced the pastors that the team wouldn’t be complete without us.
