Would we know?

I read an interesting, well at least challenging and though provoking, blog by a worship leader I have a lot of respect for (Tim Hughes, we actually do a lot of song he has written) and he posed an idea, would churches today know it if the Holy Spirit wasn’t present during the service?  Wow [...]

Flow

 

With the beautiful weather we’ve been having lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the river. We are so blessed in the Northwest to have several awesome rivers really close, and when it’s hot I am happy to enjoy them all I can.

Bring your Bible to church week

Last week for me was very strange, well I guess strange is an understatement.  On Wednesday I found out that my Grandfather had passed away.  It’s one of those things that, he and I were not really that close due   to him living in Arizona, but it still affects you.  I know that it is [...]

Shout to the “American Idol”

I turned it off too soon.  If you saw this, I’d love to hear what you thought and what you think now.

Post Strike Office
