A Return to Seminary!

Written on May 23, 2023 – 6:10 pm | by admin |

Hello friends! It’s been yet another couple of years since I updated my blog. It’s a casualty of a busy life and simpler social media posting (such as on Facebook or Instagram). However, it’s also because there really is not any major news to report most of the time. However, I do have something new […]

Gods words, not mine

Written on July 25, 2013 – 1:39 pm | by dave |

As a pastor a few years ago, I remember what it felt like when God would take my words and speak for me. It was amazing to hear words that only God could put in my mouth and to see their impact. But now it has been a long time since I felt that feeling […]
