Unbelievable Nature Video

This is one remarkable video. It really is rare to see anything like this in nature. I found it fascinating, full of drama and complete with interesting analogies. Enjoy as you have time. (Warning: It’s about 8 minutes long, but I felt it was worth it. God bless his creation! ...

It’s official. I have way too much to do. So many things that I’d either like to do, or that I have to do. I guess I’ll just take them one at a time and keep trying.  Some might think that my life is simple, but not for me....

Interesting/Funny Quote

I came across this today and thought y’all might enjoy it also:“For fear of the newspapers politicians are dull, and at last they are too dull even for the newspapers.”  – G.K. Chesterton...

An actual post

Well, instead of editing the last one, I decided to actually make a real blog post instead of all these “filler” posts. Aren’t you proud of me? I got a magazine here at the church. (A promo. I don’t generally subscribe to magazines.) But this one is called “Clear”...

Two Weeks of Sermons

I may edit this post later with more useful and/or boring information. But for now I just wanted to post my last two weeks worth of sermon notes. Life of Samson, Part 1 – The beginnings of a fascinating and tragic “hero of faith.”Baptism Study – The four major questions about Baptism....

Beard Chronicles

A movie I made concerning my beard. These are all the best shots, from beginning to end. I sort of made it to make Anna smile, which is why you got the mushy stuff at the end. (Sorry about the long blank spot. I’m new to video editing.)...

Life recently

Well, I guess it’s been long enough. I’ll update now. For some reason I always feel the need to catch everyone up on EVERYTHING that has happened since my last post. It’s not like that is necessary. Let’s see, what are the current happenings? Saturday we went to get...

“I Hold a High Note”

In recognition of singinglynnie’s post, here is a funny song that is a parody of love songs done by your typical modern boy-band. I will update soon, Lord willing. Enjoy!   BTW, the “Devlopment Ticker” updates automatically. Check it out down below. You can get a relatively up to date description of...

Jonathan’s Leadership

I will hope to update this post later with more thoughts, but for now, here are the sermon notes from the Father’s Day sermon. I was very excited about this message, and God greatly blessed it. I am so grateful to the Lord for his patience and kindness toward...

First Pictures

Well, much has happened since my last post. We went to Nashville for the ATI conference. That was really very refreshing spiritually, while being very draining physically. Anna and I enjoyed being with our family (even if Dad did give me a cold) and also seeing many good friends....

This is a funny song. Check it out!    (I love Barbershop harmony! )http://audio.xanga.com/NO_TheOtherMatt/c2b2a883929/audio.html...

Mother’s Day Sermon

Here are the sermon notes from Sunday:  Celebrating WomanhoodI encourage you to read it, and consider the great value of women. Gals, look at this and remember how precious you are in the sight of God, and how unique in His creation. (Woman was made from Adam, everything else...

Comparisons

Here are the sermon notes from my sermon on Sunday. I trust that someone some where, some day, will read this and be challenged.   I was surprised to see how serious comparisons are. We think of it as just a little thing that we struggle with, but when...
