The Gathering
Every Wed. night I attend a 20’s ministry through church. We call it “The Gathering” after worshiping and the message given we usually all go out together after to socialize. This week they changed things up and divided us up: college students went one place, 22-26 age group stayed at the church and hung out […]
Part 2 July 2007
If you are reading this and haven’t read part 1 to where this story begins go back and read my last blog post about how my cat Bailey came into my life. On Friday July 20, 2007 I was at my lake house in Wisconsin. I had just spent the day with my college roommate […]
The Changes Here
Blog: a website that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer; also : the contents of such a site.

Good Friday
As a child Easter was all about coloring eggs, Easter egg hunts, and chocolate. However there is a much bigger and more important meaning behind Easter. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”-John 3:16 If I didn’t […]

I thought forgiveness was the hardest stage
What does it feel like to accomplish what you go after? It feels pretty amazing but then again I had no doubt I could accomplish Erin’s law. Sunday I appeared on the front page of the Daily Herald, two weeks earlier I was on the front page of the Daily Herald. Monday the entire Editorial […]
