Vertical Reality

Last night we had both a wrap-up and kick-off party, at our new campus. We ended our year of student ministry at the original campus, and started it up for the summer at the new one. We said good-bye to one student pastor, and welcomed another. And the Vertical Production Team got to put on [...]

The Crazy Week Continues…

So yesterday all the guys on staff got together to watch some important basketball game. Why no one got together for the Stanley Cup is beyond me, but apparently this is what you do in the States.

The craziest week EVER…

This is like the fifth time today that I’ve opened up WordPress Admin and tried to blog. Each time I’ve found myself at a loss for words.

I don’t usually just post whole articles from my devotional. Usually I try to wrap some of my own thoughts around them. But today’s devotional just resounded so perfectly, that I figured I’d post it pretty much without change…
Suppose God tells you to do something that is an enormous test of your common sense, totally [...]

This is my crew, in whom I am well pleased

This month, for Nine12 Serves, we went to a downtown soup kitchen to do an industrial cleaning.
This month, like the last 2 previous, the Vertical Production Team, has shown up faithfully at, or about, 7:30am in the morning, on their Saturday, ready, willing, and even joyful to serve God in a tangible way. Lending their [...]

The Daniel Fast

I’ve done my best not to talk about it, because the Bible is pretty clear that were not supposed to make a big of doing it, but for the past 3 weeks we’ve been fasting. And not just Nicole and I — most of our church has been on a Daniel Fast. In general this [...]
